People that hate microsoft

[R35]

No matter where you go you will find those who lack vision and prefer instead to stand back and blame others for the negatives in the world. I'm sure some people (you know who you are) blame Bill Gates for AIDS, War in the Middle East, Natural disasters, whatever. Bill and Melinda Gates have given more money to help world causes than most of us will see in a lifetime. Would I like to be Bill Gates? HELL YES! You're an idiot if you don't want to be the richest man in the world. Do I envy Bill Gates? No. How would you like to be someone who succeeds at what he goes out to do and becomes the "best at what he does" and have people compare you to the devil?! Gee did Bill go out and slaughter millions of children to become a dictator of a small country?!

Want to talk about a "monopoly"?! What the hell do you call AOL?! If you are using a PC, running Windows whatever watching any of the Turner TV stations, AOL is your ISP (or you use AOLIM), and pay taxes to the US Government. How many "monopolies" are you a part of?

If you have never met a person in real life you have no right to judge them, but part of Free speech means we have to listen to every idiot with a chip on their shoulder complain about how someone is the devil cause they did something you don't like. Hey, there are people on this forum that own and drive Skylines, but do I hate them for it? No I say "Good for them and I hope one day I too will own one and we can all get together on a race track somwhere in the near future". So don't blame someone else for doing what they want, succedes, has more money than you, etc. Its just that simple. It's life just live it.

Anyone else want to get on this soapbox :flash:

The postal service of the US is a monopoly.

I have to give credit to Bill Gates and Microsoft for bringing the PC into the homes of millions of Americans and many more around the world. Without the introduction windows and ambition that microsoft had, I don't think we would be as far as we are today. Then again, no one knows what would have happen had it happened a different way. I think that many improvements can be made on microsoft's products, but that is how things evolve...right? Overall, I guess microsoft did a good job, but they made their OS way to user friendly in sacrafice for stability. I'm positive you can do both, you don't need to compromise, they just don't need to set unrealistic release dates, and make sure their product is what it should be.

What's shitty it's the companys philosophy. It's like one of the banks here in Switzerland my friend's working at. Unless you're a millionaire they treat you like shit! :bandit:

What Company Bean? Do you deal with Microsoft directly? or do you do like all these people and call Bill Gates directly to bitch him out about your new Apple computer that doesn't work
