Is there a Vista forum with more traffic than this one?

What is this "fanboy" rant you have going on in almost every post you
write? Are you so convinced that you are right, and that everyone who
likes Vista are stupid and wrong? I must admit I have seen people like
you in newsgroups from time to time, but it's been a while now. It
amazes me every time it hapens. I wish I was so sure about things as
you are. I learnt quite early in life that there is no black and
white, no objective right and wrong, but people like you seem to never
be able to come to terms with that, It kinda reminds me of my son a
couple of years ago. He is now 8 years old.

Thers is no "fanboy" plot going on in here. There's people who likes
Windows Vista for one reason or the other, and there's people who
dislikes it for many different reasons. It's nothing personal in that,
but for you it seems like it is.

Mellow out and enjoy the parts that works. I mean you are able to see
the pretty Aero look between all the BSOD's, aren't you? :)

It's kinda cool, but I may have to dig up my kill file again. I
haven't used that since last millenium! :)

Don't bother to respond if you want me to see it. I won't.

I'd take adverts and moderated content over trolls any day. And btw,
this forum isn't full of adverts There's a Google banner though.
However, the information is good,and people are friendly.

It shure shows I have been away from Usenet for a while. I'm an easy

You do need to ask well thought out questions that can be answered. On this
site, many of us can't waste the time with questions that require pulling
information out of the poster. Some posters would take 10+ back and forth
responses to even know what could help. Not practical with this many
problems in this group

Ever read your own moronic, screaming and yelling posts?

Your technical skills are on a par with Frank's.

Then, unlike you, he's one very capable person, technically speaking.


Zero.

That's you. Ever get that one little Vista upgrade install to run correctly?
Proly not, seeing as how you're mr computer expert and mr genius all
rolled up into one big drunken ball of sh*t...lol!

That's the "secret code" used by those who can't figure out how to use
any version of Microsoft Windows.

It's his only defensive mechanism against his own ineptitude and
incompetence.

You can find posters just like him in every ng!

I swat you with the back of my hand Frankie. Our relationship is
simple. It is similar to a horse and a fly. The mindless little insect
you are you just buzz around making noise. All a horse does is swat
it's tail and your history. Same as I and everyone else treats you.
You're nothing Frank. Just something to play with.

Everyone knows a "fanboy" is some clueless jerk that often has his
head stuck up Microsoft's ass, knows next to nothing about computers,
but loves to fake he does, buys into Microsoft marketing hype and
blindly defends Microsoft, no matter what. In other words, jerks like
you Frank.

Sure Frank, like you being the idiot we all know you are trying to
pass yourself off as some "engineer" "building" hardware when you
later were forced to admit all you actually did was replace ONE
capacitor on ONE circuit board. That finished you up Frank. Whatever
shed of creditability you might of clung to with a few really clueless
newbies or village idiots that didn't know what an lummox clod you
really are now too see what a doofus you are after your admission once
you painted yourself into a corner.

Nobody is as stupid as you are Frank. You take the prize. While there
are trolls all over the place and fakers too, nobody before I ever
seen combined the special brand of stupidity you achieved here. You're
in a league of your own Frankie.

>Well written...I've enjoyed every word of it.

So you enjoy reading about what an ass you are. Strange.

I'll take usenet and filters over web fora full of friendly people
because they often turn unfriendly if they're disagreed with.
The power invariably corrupts. Good luck though.

Did you not get a solution for that? That happened to me months ago, and I
have known the solution ever since. As well as the desktop.ini files to
tell the folders what icon to use, the folders should be set to read-only.

The answer was given by Ramesh and Keith Miller, two knowledgeable MPVs.

No, that didn't work for me. I was doing the desktop.ini thing, but it
kept going back to generic icons after a couple of reboots. I still do
not know why it happened, and how to get the icons to stick since I
ended up with creating a new account. I have not had problems since.

Once again, you post nothing of substance. And you're flat out wrong about
my posts, which just proves you only read what you want to read, which is,
apparently, any post not bashing MS or Vista or MVP's, so you can jump in
and call people names. You have no clue what my technical skills are while I
know, all too well, what your trolling skills are like.

The only reason you're here is to call people names, cast aspersions on
their capabilities, and claim you "kicked ass." What a bitter individual you
are.

That's too funny. So that would make Vista haters, like yourself, only
capable of truth, compliments, and reticence?

I - think - not.

I also think that there really are no "Vista lovers," although I do think
there are "Vista haters." Even the most pro Vista posters in this ng would,
at the very least, admit Vista is far from perfect. Since you only post
hit-and-run anti-Vista, anti-MS screeds in here, without having to defend
the deficiencies of your beloved Ubuntu, I have no respect for your posting
methodology in this ng.

That said, I'm going to take a break from responding to your trolling posts.
As someone else pointed out, that makes me as guilty as you for disrupting
the ng.

And so... I apologise to all "regular folks" if I have disrupted your
experience in this ng by taking part in these senseless threads.

My bad.
