>If Windows or IE or Office were good enough to justify their market share, hardly anyone would complain. The problem is that they're not; they're inferior to competing products
I love how people like yourself love to knock MS Office, when it is, hands down, the best office suite out there. Nothing comes close. When you say things like that, it instantly kills the credibility of anything else you might have to say. And for Windows, there's a reason that it has ~90% market share...and it's not because it's a terrible/inferior product. It's a great OS, especially for businesses.
>For a lot of people, Apple's offerings just work better than competing offerings from other companies.
And for a lot of people, Windows "just works". The crash/virus nonsense is way overplayed.
>Until Apple came along, software for BB/WinMo was more expensive and harder to find. Cellphone/smartphone apps didn't have nearly the market it has now.
Utter nonsense. There have been dozens of sites with hundreds, if not thousands, of free/cheap Windows Mobile apps for a long time...long before the iPhone came along.
Well, first they had to ship him the new screen. Then, I live in a small town and the guy had to drive from two hours away, over a mountain during a snow storm, to get here.
No, that's what you would buy a Vaio for. My screen developed some (50+ in a cluster) dead pixels three months after I bought my laptop, and Sony had someone meet me at work and replace it three days later.

They're the Microsoft of search and online advertising. Their open source efforts are just a gimmick like Microsoft's.

Yes, so really, if you're already infected, the virus can pretty much do whatever it wants to your system, including breaking your antivirus. The "security concerns" with excluding those extensions are not really security concerns at all.
I'm sure that it has nothing to do with militant FOSS advocates spreading rumors about how Microsoft is always about to sue everyone over Mono and Moonlight.
I think it might also be the case that being able to see where the drone is doesn't really help you escape the missiles. By the time you realize that the drone is looking at your house it's a bit too late to run.
Except she didn't say that subtext (at least I didn't see that anywhere), so how was the professor supposed to know she got dumped by her boyfriend? I'd be a bit nervous too if I was the instructor.
That's my point. Dad didn't really have to do much of anything, and had something gone wrong, he wouldn't have been able to help. That's why as soon as my wife is having contractions, we're high tailing it to the hospital.
Try Windows 7, it's much better. I installed it on my desktop (which is about three clicks), ran Windows Update, and it pulled down all of my drivers. Same thing on my desktop...except the video driver, which I had to get from Sony (special Nvidia driver that controls the brightness buttons too).

I wonder if Google has paid up?

No kidding...I was impressed.

The obvious solution then is to simply ban employees from using comments in code.
If it supports Vista, it supports Windows 7. The drivers are the same.
Running slow actually is "not running nicely".

Google doesn't give two shits about "empowering" anyone. They just realized that small websites were an untapped revenue source.
What feature?

There is no problem to fix. Just manufactured outrage.

OpenSUSE? Mandriva? PCLinuxOS?

SHHH! Don't bring facts into this baseless MS bashing fest!

That's what you say until someone actually DOES whip out a trocar and stab someone in the throat.
That's my point. Dad didn't really have to do much of anything, and had something gone wrong, he wouldn't have been able to help. That's why as soon as my wife is having contractions, we're high tailing it to the hospital.
"It just works" for most people means that they can get to the Facebooks.

Giving birth, in most cases, is not life or death. In fact, the mother's body is going to go through with it whether or not anyone helps.
