Even when it's the other software's bugs, Microsoft gets the blame.
Surely you jest. Either you are a major stockholder in Microcrap or you're a neophyte Windows user. Windows has notoriously always been crap since back in the Win3.1 days. The only reason why the company is as large as it is bc most people are not inclined to use something that does not have the pretty/idiot-proof GUI that Windows does.

| Unfortunatly, Apple had the right idea. Standard commands that every program should follow. Standard quit, save, load commands. Harmony reigns.
MS shows what can happen when newer OS systems meet older software. I work for a travel agency and have to load remote software on some people's systems so they work as outside agents. Problem was that the software up until last year was DOS based! No one could use the software if they had a Winmodem which came with every new system (who wanted to pay more for a controller based modem?) Finally went to a Windows based system. This after Win95 has been dead and replaced 3 times over.
Anyone remember the Win98 demo that blew up in front of reporters? Truely classic.
Problem is MS came out with XP and tried to make everyone update their software to work with theirs. Either that or be forced to use MS crap.
Event eh company I work at now won;t use any OS by MS unless it has had at least one major service release. We are still on NT 4.0 |

Some of us have absolutely no problems with Windows XP. I know it's hard for some to believe, but sometimes reality doesn't always offer us truths to our liking.

Why is it when someone defends MS, they are automatically labeled a stock holder or employee? I am neither and I can tell you that I have installed drivers, that said they were for XP, that completely messed up my machine. Is this the OS's fault? I think not. Surely you jest by thinking that other programmer's can't make mistakes or release buggy software. You sir must work for Red Hat since you are so anti-MS.

Sorry, just blindly blaming does not make you right. This (yes we are talking about something in particular here) error is not MS's fault.
But please do keep mindlessly bashing, you might hit a nail every once in a while.

Blindly blaming. That's really interesting coming from an inexperienced Windows user such as you must obviously be. You walk the walk but can you talk the talk? Tell me why it is -in your experienced professional opinion of course- that you think Microsoft, specifically, the Windows operating system is such a superior product? Aside from the obvious advantage to the user friendly GUI, that is. Do you even know what GUI stands for? Look, I don't know why you've got such a hard on for Microcrap but I would probably get that looked at if I were you.
Windows has always been and will continue to be full of bugs & security breaches ad infinitum. If you doubt that then all you need do is pull your head out of your a$$ and take a look at the countless security patches that have to be downloaded & installed into any Windows system at any given time. But I won't hold my breath waiting for you to educate yourself on that matter before you spout off about a topic you know absolutely nothing about. You can continue to blindly worship Microcrap but I'm not going to continue replying to you.

You know what? You might try reading a post before you reply to it. Just a thought.
All I have said is that THIS error is not caused by MS/XP (go back and read again if you doubt me). I have made no other comments about Windows. (none)
I'm sure you won't reply to this because you and I both know that you 1)Don't know what you are blathering about and 2)Haven't the capacity to formulate a relevant response to any posts that I have made. (your previous posts demonstrate these two points quite nicely)
(You should know that your continued thrashing has become most amusing.)

Awwwww, did you get your wittle fweelings hwurt?
I notice that your dainty wittle fingertips continue to bruise themselves with each poison memo you type and you otherwise keep blowing hot air, but any intelligent feedback about the wonderful Windows o/s is conspicuously missing. But don't worry, I won't press you for an answer, I wouldn't want to publicly humiliate you by exposing your ignorance.

Topic: Err 678 in WinXP
You: WinXP has more errors than all of baseball
Me: Why do people insist that all errors encountered in Windows are caused by Windows?
You: You and Bill Gates have sex together
Me: This error isn't caused by Windows
You: If you are so smart define how Windows is better than sliced white bread!
Me: Wow, thats fairly irrel...
You: HAHAHAHA!!! You are really pissed now!
Me: Not really, since we don't seem to be talking about the same thing...
(I await your next "clever comment" that you aren't making.)

Re: XP Has Bugs just a quick message. Apple did have the right idea. their system does has certain advantages. backward compatibility is NOT one of them. I'm not gonna go into details and argue, just ask any DTP (desktop publishers) or graphic designers or typesetters. They will veryoften use macs, love macs, and tell you how often they get mined. |
