Best. Error message. Ever.

Really, folks, windows has been pissing me off lately with the file sharing on their new OSs. Everyone knows it's counter-intuitive, and everyone knows that this makes you have to go pay tribute to the MCSE oracles and buy Manhattan Yellow Pages-sized tomes in order to understand what should be very straightforward stuff, at least for someone who's been managing websites ever since the web's been around. The only reason they do this is to make more money, and the only reason they can is because they have a lock on the market. That pisses me off, and it pisses a lot of people off, and it makes us want to look around for a competitor. The fact that we haven't found one testifies to just how strong MS's position is.

Bastards!

yeah, I know. I was hoping no one would bring that up and ruin my point. :( hehehe Netscape does really suck now, much harder than IE, which I find sad.

I've learned CSS the same way as you, off of W3.org. It drives me batty when things don't work as they should.

Dont' even start me on Javascript implementation. Really. DON'T start me.

My WinME box crashes several times daily. You don't need any "profesional experiance" to realise that this is a rushed-out piece of bloatware. If we can't say a word against anything in a particular field without being intimately familiar with that field, then we're pretty limited in what we can criticise. Ever made a film? No? Well, then, don't tell me Pearl Harbor sucks.

I still think the response was over the top dougan.

If you don't like the response, DON'T READ IT. STOP WHINING.

If you want a fairly stable but still user friendly O/S, try Suze linux 7.1. The corporate release comes with a buttload of software, and it's never crashed one me. I run two linux machines in my house. One is a bussiness machine that I use for graphics art, typing things up, and coding. The other is an old server tower with 800 gigs of hard drive and a 233 processor that we use as a file server. All the other computers in the house use win 2k or XP. They all play games very smoothly, and are compatible with "standard" computers for LAN parties and such.

The point is microsoft is industry standard for computers, just like unleaded gasoline is for cars. You don't HAVE to use their products, it's just more convenient in some cases.

I'm very happy with Windows XP. I can imagine a better operating system, but I've lived through worse. Like autoexec.bat and config.sys files and worrying about having at least 628k base memory free, and making boot disks and running QEMM, and not being able to multitask and having a Gravis Ultrasound that only worked in about one out of every thirty games and all of THAT being better than using one of these things.

I'd like there to be a decent virtual desktop manager and possibly some nicer skins.

*runs screaming from the forum* My GOD did you own a clone of my old home PC back in the day? I'm having 628kQEMMGravisconfig.sys flashbacks.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nate, are you even old enough to have ever used a non-windows DOS program, much less remember when that was the industry standard?

I thought not.

>> And don't complain when you've never even tried to write an os...

Big talk for someone who's probably never even tried to kiss a girl.

On the topic of movies which "rock by default" however... Tomb Raider. It has Arnold J. Rimmer in it, for fuck's sake! Funnily enough, the sequences in the mansion which include Chris Barrie and Noah Taylor are the best scenes in the movie.

Really? Let's keep in mind that Amigas are older than you, and that you started primary school about the same time as the release of Windows 3.1... Is that your final answer?
