And I never said it was Apple's fault at all or that I wanted it for free. All I was pointing out was that Apple weren't the only ones offering programming to the masses or even the first ones. You're the one imagining that it's some attack on Apple which it isn't.
You're the one hurling childish insults merely because I pointed out that not everyone could afford a Mac and that many more people learned to program on different (and usually cheaper - i.e. not IBM compatible either) platforms. But don't let how things really were get in the way of your whining fanboyism. I'll reiterate. A 14 year old boy unable to afford a Mac is not a loser, merely someone who didn't have rich parents to buy one for him. Try learning some social skills and realise that just because someone doesn't share your opinion it doesn't make them bad, evil or even whiny.
Spare me your tantrums little boy and realise that THOUSANDS is not "the masses" by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not crying over not being able to afford a Mac when I was 14, since few 14 year olds would have been able to. I couldn't afford any expensive computers at that time but I still managed to learn the basics of programming before the one true language for the masses, Hypercard, even existed.
Which masses are we referring to here? A few people who were lucky enough to have access to expensive graphics workstations, or the other 99.99999999999% of the western world at that time?
And it's sad that such a clueless post was allowed at all. If you think that loads of malware wouldn't exist for Linux just to prove Linux fanboys wrong then you don't really know much about geeks at all.
I never said they were good at it I just said that they do remove stuff. I've seen a message before that something's been removed via a DMCA request at the bottom of a search result.
But, but I thought mainframes were dead because no-one could possibly want the convenience of a centralised app and data repository. Or was it a good idea after all and shouldn't have been denigrated by people trying to sell inferior software?
Most hardware? Which hardware is "most". Not wireless drivers, not graphics cards properly, does bluetooth work right, how about mobile phone access beyond seeing it as a mass storage device? Linux needs similar support from many many companies before you can make a statement like this.
That's what happens to convicted criminals - they have to abide by much harsher rules than decent, law-abiding citizens. You have any complaints take them up with the management of MS who thought that laws didn't apply to their company.
The people who think that depression and suicidal tendencies are ok and natural are the 21st century equivalent of those who opposed anaesthesia because pain was natural and/or God's will in earlier centuries. Or just clueless and insensitive.
And I worked in IT long before MS dominance and shoddy poorly thought-out software was the norm then. Nothing's changed except the snobbery's got worse.
LUA is not for the faint-hearted however. It's quite awkward to get working and some applications insist on having admin rights when they don't need them. I would never recommend it to a non-geek because then I'd be spending hours with CACLS making sure that the crappy apps have the full access they expect.
The trouble with being a habitual criminal is that no-one trusts you ever again. That's where MS = evil comes from and is not likely to stop until they show a consistent period of obeying the law and playing within the rules. Since that is antithetical to the MS corporate culture MS = evil will continue to be held as an opinion irrespective of whether WinXP isn't as god-awful as Win98.
And Microsoft will ruthlessly crush you with its vast and illegally acquired market power if you represent any real threat to it - not quite a nanny state but your right to compete will still have been removed without you being able to do much about it.

A Linux Citrix client has existed for a while.

The masses who could afford Apple Macs that is. Poor people like me used BASIC on things like the ZX Spectrum and Amiga.

So the world's largest software company which also has a monopoly feels it has to give a toss what Hollywood and the record industry thinks?
"Better marketing, worse products. How is that going to help?"
Isn't that how a lot of software companies work?
I never said they were good at it I just said that they do remove stuff. I've seen a message before that something's been removed via a DMCA request at the bottom of a search result.
Google remove stuff on request.

So what you're saying is that no-one ever got paid for coding before software patents came along? What are you smoking and can I have some?
That's what happens to convicted criminals - they have to abide by much harsher rules than decent, law-abiding citizens. You have any complaints take them up with the management of MS who thought that laws didn't apply to their company.
How can something which doesn't exist be ironic?

For heaven's sake get a grip he made a mistake. Nobody died.

Is it not possible to replace VBScript with JScript?
Since those are aberrations then it shouldn't be impossible to work out what causes them and fix them.
Unless you want to use WPA in which case use Windows XP.
