Re: prediction: vista will be attacked like no other OS in history

a purported activation crack is hardly a colossal attack like no other in
history.
LOL.. i find it hysterical all the people that have very obviously nothing
nice to ever say about MS or their operating systems... they all could have
done it better, they all saw this coming... yet youre broke and MS is one of
the richest corporations on the planet. apparently theyre doing something
right. and while youre "learning" Ubuntu (a particularly pathetic version of
Linux) i guarantee youre typing these messages from a Windows OS.

Your opinion and not one I share.

i guarantee youre typing these[color=blue]
> messages from a Windows OS.[/color]

So? I like XP and, like I said, I am *learning* Ubuntu, which, by the
way, does everything I can do with XP, even watch Windows Media Player
videos on news web sites. And, I might add, MUCH easier to install.

If it weren't for the obvious disdain that MS has towards it's paying
customers, of which I have been one since 92, I would be looking forward
to Vista instead of learning Ubuntu. The
you-are-a-thief-until-you-prove-differently was the last straw.

After I learn Ubuntu, and if I find another Linux that I like better, it
won't cost me a kidney and a liver to buy it.
