    Hey!
    Throught Windows, Microsucks has put tons of Easter Eggs in the OS and software. Oneday I found the website http://eeggs.com/ and went nuts.
    One of my favorites was the I Hate Jello one
    (in Microsoft Windows ME, if you open up HID.DLL in notepad or any other unicode editor, you'll notice that it says "I Hate Jello" on line 7) Src.
    What are your favorites?

    The Microsucks thing is getting old, especially considering you use their products.

    Wow, Microsucks is still going? I remember seeing those eggs a few years ago, it was 'funny' to see programmer humour in action.

    I have no choice. I cant risk losing my files by upgrading to Linux.

    Then back them up. Duh.

    I bet you can't even formulate a good argument against Microsoft and Windows. You are just playing for the crowd.

    I'm afraid, but ok. What distro do you use?
    Yeah. It is slow, crappy, and expensive.

    PS. Does Microsoft make Visual Studio for Linux?

    Good one.

    I said good argument.

    Find a distro you like. There are plenty of programming IDEs.

    I can't even begin to note the irony in you looking for a Microsoft app to run under Linux.


    But its slow, crappy, and expensive!

    LMAO


    Poor argument with no technical foundation behind it! If slow and crappy then is that not down to user and hardware used? likely your using XP which many favour and rate as a quick OS.

    Expensive, ok I may give you that one at a push, but then divide the cost by the weeks or years you use it and per week the cost ratio is not too bad for the user experience and freedom your getting at present. Yes I would like it to be cheaper and with multi PC licences, one thing I have tried to like many others giving Microsoft active and constructive feedback is in trying to achieve this for the next OS ( was limited in Vista but their was a multi licence at reduced cost for a short while, which was sucessful ).

    If want cheap and think Microsoft suck, then there are alternatives, go Apple.. oh wait dont its more expensive... that leaves the *nix's as majority are free, then comes the pitfall in setting them up and time spend finding equivalent applications to "microsuck" compatible ones, so add up the time taken to setup Linux out of box using an average wage per hour and its likely to be more expensive to own and run, not to mention the frustration for users who are not technically adept to run Linux as its not for everyone, even though many harp on about dumping Windows for Linux.... return remark for that is "put up or shutup".

    I know many here run both or plain Linux as its their main choice, but majority of them if not all have very good reasons for doing so and have taken the leap over following the flock in the age old comments "I hate Microsoft and it sucks, but I will do nothing about it as all I like to do is moan for the fun of it" brigade. Its the ones with constructive issues in running Microsoft software and why they dont run it I will always listen too and in many cases agree with their rationale in whats wrong with Windows as its not perfect.....BUT are you actively doing anything to change how Microsoft design Windows... NO, are you migrating to Linux... NO.

    So whats your point to all this, help me and others understand or are you just trolling?

    Actually, as soon as I get my flash drive I am going to switch to linux.
    Unless,
    Would mac work on my Computer? It's a dell Dimension 3000. Integrated Video and Audio, pentium 4, dvd and cd, er, idk the rest but if you want to find the specs on Dell.com, by Serivce tag is bnvw761
    If it does, I have a friend who can get me a free legit copy of Mac.

    There is nothing legit about running OS X on a non Apple computer.

    Why do you need a flash drive for Linux?

    I think hitting my hand with a hammer would be better.

    When I stop it hurts less than trying to figure out his posts.
