What's free? You *pay* for Windows - it's part of the purchase cost of your
computer. In some cases, it's the largest part of the purchase price!

You're entitled to your opinion, however misinformed. However, Internet
Explorer is /not/ standards compliant, and has so many security issues that
you're asking for serious trouble if you use it.

The internet is a UNIX environment, and Windows is just a poor, insecure,
unreliable client for a UNIX world. Linux, by comparison, emulates UNIX
almost exactly. The vast majority of the world's webservers (by traffic)
run UNIX or Linux. Microsoft still can't make their webserver software
work properly, and it is full of security holes.

> and I talked to a professional photog, his camera makes jpgs

It might do, but *real* professionals wouldn't use any form of image
compression at the camera stage - they might when they process and
manipulate the image on a computer, but using JPG at the camera degrades
the image to begin with.

> nix is for boomers and geeks

No. It's for people who want their computers to work properly and to their
full capacity. Windows cripples the operation of most hardware, places
serious restrictions on what you're allowed to do (your "professional"
photographer friend *does* *not* have the licence to manipulate JPG files
on his computer if he's using Windows).

Grow up! You're living in a UNIX world, whether you like it or not.

MS patches my PC ( and IE7) for anything the hackers can throw at it,
every night at 3am
even pirated copies, run automatic windows update!

IE7 meets all Microsoft standards for Windows logo compliancy.

ITYM "Must Call Someone Else" :-)

The web was invented at CERN. ****, those fscking Europeans! :-P

"Microsoft standards ..." WTF?!?

Any cert process that leaves one that ignorant is patently worthless.
I'm glad he doesn't feel too bad about all the money he WASTED getting
it. Or perhaps he does. Anyone paying $30,000/a. for ACCPAC licences
KNOWS it's a great system.

I wonder if he's ever heard of the fine acronym "RFC".

But then, we're just feeding a troll, so I guess he wins. Sigh. Too
bad the HR folk out there will never see this stuff.

Ha!

I know people who smoke that stuff, and they don't halucinate like
him. I have to assume his condition is congenital, and he ought to
see a specialist. I'd start with a lobotimist if I were him, but
perhaps that's my prejudices showing ... Naaahh.

So you pirate MS "operating systems" do you? Well good for you. You
deserve all that you get!

So you're a special friend of bill Gates, are you? All the other Windows
losers in the world get their patches once a month. In the intervening 29
days, your computer is wide open to every new exploit.

It takes any credible programmer less than 10 minutes to write Windows
malware that will do significant damage to your "operating system" and will
be missed by all your "anti-virus" nonsense you're paying for. It will
also spread itself to all your friend's machines...

There is malware out there that you simply don't understand. It's trivial
to remotely log /everything/ you do on your computer, including every
keypress. That silly little "security" padlock on your banking site means
nothing to a keylogger!

> even pirated copies, run automatic windows update!

No they don't you silly little boy. Even MS have found ways of getting rid
of those who won't pay.

where are we on this?

/If,/ as you claim, you really are a "Network Administrator", you can't do
your job properly /even/ /in/ /Windows/ without the Command Line that you
deride so much.

If you want to make /any/ attempt to make your network even slightly secure,
you will have to edit the Windows Registry. The tools to do this *use*
*the* *Command* *Line* - if you don't do this, your network will be less
secure than even most other Windows ones.

If you want to issue a "ping", you have to use the Command Line.

If you want to check what your network interfaces are connected to, and
their addresses, you have to use *ipconfig/all* (a /very/ Unix
command) /from/ /the/ /Command/ /Line!/

Seems that Windows is /so/ old fashioned - you still have to *use* *the*
*Command* *Line* for most important tasks.

Run along now and update your "virus definitions"!
