An rant from a friend of mine
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 9:17 am
So, to go off on a bit of a rant...
Uri gave us a link last night on Team Speak, I won't repeat it here.. it was a joke site about sheep, if you went there I'm sorry. I'm sure Uri didn't know, but if you click around a bit on there, it ends up infecting your Windows with some stupid malware....
Now, I have my computer running scans right now, I'm sure it will get cleaned up after god knows how much work... but WHY THE HELL DO YOU PEOPLE PUT UP WITH THIS CRAP????!?!?
I do not understand why people want to run this operating system and why they have become so complacent that they are unwilling to try anything else. I do not understand how people think it's perfectly normal to buy an overpriced operating system that is full of bugs and then buy spyware protection and then buy antivirus protection just because it is such a piece of **** that you have to protect it. Then, it doesn't even come with **** you need to use it, I mean, we all know it comes with the wonderful handfull of apps like calculator, Internet Explorer, and media player.... but WTF?! Now, if you want to write a document they expect you to either use wordpad (yea, bologna) or buy Microsoft Office for nearly $500.
Bull ****
I cannot stand Windows, I do not understand WHY the people that use it continue OVER AND OVER AGAIN to buy it, to give Microsoft money just for the pleasure of being able to frustrate the ever living hell out of them. I'm looking at ALL of you that own Windows... that have bought Windows... ALL of you. STOP IT.
DEMAND more from Microsoft, or refuse to buy their crap. Demand that you OS actually f'ing works, or do not buy it. or, for the love of god, buy a Mac or use Linux. If you buy a new computer and it comes with Windows and they say you can't have it without Windows, THEN RAISE HELL AND COMPLAIN.
The only way this will change is if everyone revolts. It has already started, how many love Vista? yea, a few... a **** ton of people won't give up XP... they are starting to see the light that Microsoft writes their OS's for them, not for their consumers.... they write in protections for the music and movie industry, not for the rights of their consumers... they don't care about you, they release **** and they expect you to buy it anyway AND YOU DO.
I run one Windows computer... it's for playing some games, because so many of you will ONLY use Windows that the game developers only program for Windows... and I'm sick of it. Demand more for your money.
I read something from someone a while back that perfectly described it..... in the 1800's, before cars... everyone used horses and buggy's. Everyone was completely used to the horse **** laying around the streets. They were used to the health problems of having horse **** everywhere and of having the occasional dead horse corpse lying on the side of the road.... disease was rampant partly due to this. They did not know it could be any different, they did not know that they didn't HAVE to put up with **** lying around everywhere.... the automobile finally came along and everyone saw the light. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH VIRUS'S AND SPYWARE EVERYWHERE, THAT IS ONLY IN WINDOWS!!!!
Brought to you from my laptop, running Ubuntu 8.10 where I can click on any goddamn link I want and not be scared it will destroy my OS.
