The only thing I am annoyed with Windows 7 about is the darn desktop button is not at the bottom left anymore. It is at the bottom right now. I will adjust to it.

MS puts out good programs to me. I haven't had any major issues with them. Tweaking a program on the pc, oh the horror of maximizing your pc.

Which one is that? The overpriced office suite, the craptacular Vista OS that's purportedly great now that they changed the name to Windows 7, the terrible mobile offerings, defective game console, blanket ripoff of Google of a search engine, etc?

I've used Microsoft software since DOS 5.0 right up to Win 7. Wrote a lot of code for Microsoft operating systems over the years in everything from DOS assembler, C++, MFC, Win32, .NET. Worked *with* Microsoft of more than one project, etc. At the end of the day, they just don't make good products when compared to their competitors (Apple, Google, OSS, etc). Your opinion may differ. As for me, sitting around for 20+ years waiting for them to get their act together, well, I'm no longer interested.

I have a hard time believing you when you rant like a child.

But I can certainly agree, our opinions do differ. Apple doesn't make a single product or service that is the least bit attractive to me. For Google, all I care about is gmail. Their search used to be king but yahoo has been better for a while and bing is great. Not interested in smart phones or netbooks so Android doesn't interest me.

The rant was comedic because this thread is comical. I think it's funny the Microsoft fanboys are up in arms that somebody patent trolled Microsoft when Microsoft themselves are the absolute kings of frivolous and ambiguous technology patents.

This.
We really dont need to take anything here seriously folks. If you wanna talk about programming, take it to the programming forum. If you wanna talk about Operating Systems, take it to..............





OPERATING SYSTEMS!


This is OT, where we ass fuck each other over the internet. Nothing here matters at all.

Give me .net over Java or mono any day.
And directx over OpenGL for that matter.
Microsoft is pretty good with software development environments

Bill Gates has done more for the people of this world than almost anyone, and more than you could ever dream of achieving. Not only has he made your own life significantly better, he has done so for the poorest, most downtrodden people on this planet.

SUN pisses me off because of all of their damn java updates. I have several programs at work used by different depts that will NOT run when a new update comes out so we have make sure that users PC dont update. I understand that the software vendors need to keep current with java updates but SUN should also make sure that their shit is backwards compatible. you know sorta like what MS does. I have never had a MS OS critical update break any app we run.
