Windows Vista

nope...what is it??

 

So here we are. 2007. Oh boy...where are the ****ing flying cars? Where are the talking computers and robots and ****? Where's this high tech that will scrub our floors and change our Depends for us? I'll tell you where it is: lying in the gutter. I mean for ****'s sake, even our computers are being forcibly turned against us, one machine at a time. No, I'm not talking about botnets or even Ambient Byte, I'm talking about Windows Goddamned Vista.

First off, all of you "Micrsoft can do no wrong" people can stop reading right here, and go **** yourselves. All of you X-Box supporters can **** of and go play another run-of-the-mill racing game. And anyone STUPID enough to buy a "Zune"..well, I doubt you're even capable of reading this, much less being able to stop drooling on yourselves.

I've been a computer geek all of my life, probably longer than most of you. I lived the 8-bit home computer revolution. I know what an 'accumulator' is, and I've programmed them. Hell I've even designed them on wire breadboards. I'm old enough to know that a BBS is NOT this piece-of-**** phpBB ****heap we run here on this site. But dammit...computers used to be cool. They used to be fun. And there were enough of them around that you could have geek ****ing matches between differing camps (sometimes ending in real violence, geek style).

But forget about the musings of an old techno-fart. The old days are gone. In the 90's we saw the unfortunate rise of Microsoft, long the bottom feeder of high-tech companies. Did they get there on their own merit? Of course not--they had an infallible cash connection to IBM through the 80's. No one would willingly BUY MS-DOG, except for maybe the Gates Fan Club I mentioned in the paragraph above. No, IBM is to blame for giving these ****ing idiots a cash lifeline, and much like the shuttle jettisonning that huge booster rocket, Microsoft did much the same to IBM. And god help us all, they did all that having the WORST possible ****ing technology on the market--I don't care WHAT example you cite: Apple, Amiga, Atari, ****ing GEOS--ALL of it was better than MS-DOS. Even the piece-of-**** multitasking 68000 operating system I wrote for my thesis course in university was better than MS-DOS, and my operating system didn't even have a ****ing filesystem on it yet. But Microsoft flourished--because IBM gave them a huge cash lifeline and made sure their GARBAGE was installed on every ****ing PC.

And like a bad case of shingles, along came "Windows," the operating environment with the stupidest name imaginable. "Look! It has windows, see? And we call it Windows! Get it? Get it?" This laughable crash-prone pile of **** with it's grotesquely oversized window borders was embraced by the cult of Gates (mainly marketing and business types) as though it were an anal penetration from the Gates Master Bedroom. While the rest of computerdom was collectively laughing their asses off at this bad copy of just about every other contemporary graphical environment, business idiots happily embraced this ****pile and convinced themselves that rebooting the ****ing thing every 10 minutes was "how computers should be."

But, it succeeded. And then, Win95 succeeded. The business orgy with all things Microsoft spiralled out of control, and suddenly the ****pile was EVERYWHERE. BUT--once again, Microsoft didn't do anything to really deserve it. They still had the ace under their sleeves that guaranteed the automatic success of everything they put out, regardless of merit or quality: PRELOADS and exclusive agreements.

How it works is simple: Microsoft made agreements with every PC maker out there that they would ONLY install Microsoft ****ware by default. Right out of the factory only Windows would be installed, and that was it. Any attempts by other companies to have their own stuff installed was LOCKED OUT. And even if, say, Dell were to offer a PC with NO operating system, THEY STILL charged you for a Windows license anyway--Microsoft got free money. It was called the "Microsoft Tax" and it's STILL being done today, here in 2007.

Enter Windows Vista, the worst abortion of an operating system the world has ever seen. Despite bad reviews, despite even CNN having news reports about the built-in DRM that will prevent you from doing anything useful at all...despite the fact that it will degrade your video performance if you don't have a "legal" copy of the video you are watching, despite the fact that it continually spies on you and regularly calls home to Gates Central, despite the fact that it breaks software compatibility all over the ****ing board...this horrible piece of **** operating system is going to SUCCEED. Do you think Microsoft cares about all the bad press? Of course not. Why? One word: PRELOADS.

In one year's time, Vista will be everywhere, installed on every new ****ing computer that Mom & Dad order from Dell for little Johnny. DRM will be the norm--it will be everywhere, and everyone will just bend over and accept it, just like the early users of Windows 3.1. Everyone will just assume that "gee, this is the way computers are supposed to be," just like all those idiots who assumed that rebooting their ****ing machine every 10 minutes was "normal." Vista will be a runaway success--not because it deserves to be, but because it will be installed BY DEFAULT from the factory onwards. And even if some ****head like Michael Dell offers his Indian-built ****boxes without an operating system, Microsoft STILL GETS PAID. You STILL pay the Microsoft Tax.

No one is laughing now. If evil garbage like Vista becomes the norm (and it will, bank on that), we will no longer be in control of our own computers. We'll just be "leasing" them, buying features at cost, and always having the watchful eye of Gov't and Corporation looking over our shoulders to make sure "we have all the right certificates" to run our own ****ing software.

I bet my life on working in the computer world. But now, here in 2007, I am forced to work on a daily basis in an evironment I ****ing despise. I'm surrounded by the Turds of Gates, 24 hours a day. So why not find another job, one without Windows? I ****ING CAN'T. Even if I wanted a non-Windows job, just take a look around you...you can't find them, they don't exist. My life has become a janitorial service for the Windows empire. Even if I hate Vista I still have towork with it and support the goddamned thing here at work--believe me, I get to see the worst this shipile has to offer up close and personal. Hell, I've been seeing it in beta form for the better part of a year now, long before the general idiot public did.

**** you, Gates. And **** the general public for lining up like goddamned uninformed sheep to just "buy computers" without understanding what the **** goes on them, or how they even work. Would you run out and buy "a car" without knowing what the hell is under the hood? Of course not...but millions of computer idiots around the world have been doing this for decades now.

Vista is only the beginning. Just wait to see what comes out of the Gatesstar next. You won't like it, and neither will I. And none of us will have any say in it whatsoever because it'll be installed by default on every goddamned PC.

 

That was a cut and paste from a article a freind of mine wrote......And i agree 100% with it.

 

man I read that whole thing.. someone needs to get that guy a MAC and a bottle of vodka. Though I am in agreement about the suckage of windows and lack of any real options out there for the public.

from the look of vista it made me angry knowing that none of the lower end computers will run it and I know that there will be compatability issues from trying to network to non vista windows.. just a big mess. It looks graphicly taxing to the system so unless you computer has the beef to run high end graphics without a big deal its going to slow everything down. Just totally idiotic.. sometimes simple is better and this is an area I think that applies to.

 

He is from Canaduh D ) also!!!!


I pretty much am gunna stick with Linux based operating sytems, the more i use them the more i like them. i will still have xpee to run some windows apps, but otherwise, to hell with vista, an OS like that is actually quite scary really.

 

wow some stong feeling about computers.

terminator? skynet?

OMG

 

let me rephrase that...strong feelings about windows.
