i hate microsoft
 

I just bought a new machine and it's running xp.
no matter what I do I get microsoft popups coming from my own machine, not from the internet. I go to Yahoo finance and the browser splits on every page to sell me microsoft money.

I never used windows messenger but it just starts itself and I can't close out of it because it says the application is in use and I can't turn it off.

I just rebooted my machine and stepped away, when I got back there were popup for passport.net, veritas, and windows update.

wish I got a Mac

:thumbsup !!!

Use any *nix system. I use window$ only to play games.

I use Linux :thumbsup

hate microsoft servers

:warning

Yeah, you should have gotten a Mac but I'll be helpful anyway. That is Microsoft money and I bet it is opening crap when you visit anything even remotely related to finance. You need to start money up and then when the next pop up thing comes up there should be an option to turn it off. Something like that anyway. It was a long time ago when I had to fuck with it and it is one more reason I switched to Macs.

COmmon MS is great, take a moment to discuss the amazing tech support you get whenever you need to call them. Hate them all around.

Yeah, Abu the tech dude kicks ass.

Why would anyone run anything other than 98 or 2000?

XP is for retards who get off on big buttons and happy colors :winkwink:

Why would you ever call Microsoft? Use Google.

XP is essentially the same as 2000. :winkwink:

get linux

i like happy colors they make .... well happy

As a professional, I would never consider using MS products, way to risky and expensive. But as a ordinary home user who check mail and visit GFY, it works...

Will migrate to it as soon as my ethernet card module start to work!!

lets liberate pc's from the evil dictatorship of bill gates

I prefer getting aggrivated with the tech's one the phone, drives me to the brink of a killing spree, I feed off the idea of thinking something is going to get me more aggrivated than I have ever been. Mental issue.

We all discussed this on a thread about a week ago didn't we and many of us tried to convince you to get a mac then you know. So what happened did you even go look? You're trying to edit videos aren't you?

do you know microsoft sets a limit per year an employee can spend on software? my cousin works for them, so i hit her up before christmas and was like "yeah, i need this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this and this." she was like "i spent my allowed". i was like "fuck that, i'll use *nix then".


good deals though. go to best buy and office xp pro is $550. she could get it for me for $90 :glugglug

:glugglug

I got that compaq I was talking about because it was free and I dont have the money for a nice machine. I'm using the compaq now, nice machine, haven't edited any videos yet.

I figure this will get me what I need and when I can afford it I'll go for a powerful mac machine.

Then what's the problem? There's nothing wrong with free! Pimp that machine out and when you feel you're ready grab a mac, it's all good. You can always look for a phat used or refurbished mac to try out as well. You can pull a nice refurb eMac for about $649 these days.

I dont want a refubr tho, i dont want someone elses problrm
I did go to the store to look at macs and the mouse was round and hard to use and the keyboard was really shitty and tinny feeling and I knew I'd be having carpul tunnel outbreaks in minutes.
but i still want a mac someday because olivers and queits movies are so fucking perfect looking and i hate these microsoft popups and spams

None of the macs made in that last 2 or 3 years have a round mouse and a cheap keyboard anymore so you had to be looking at much older machines, and as far as a refurb goes, it carries the exact same warranty as a new machine and it's clearly a much better deal and has virtually the same amount of problems that a new machine does. So you're best off to buy a refurb if you find a good deal.
