  1. Comment - MS: Windows Cheaper than Linux, Apache

    (Apr 14, 2005 - 4:52 AM)

    Where oh where has your money gone?

    k. Here we go. This isnt do defend pride or boost my ego. LEts look at the facts.

    I get Linux for free. I set it up as it should. It runs flawlwssly with idiot proof udating from RedHat. Downtime = o% Cost for OS = .50 cents for a CD-R. Maybe I'm a lucky one. Or maybe I know what I'm doing BEFORE I do it. Yeah yeah cash is king, and some of us need downtimes for some cash. Sometimes you just get sick of your own servers going down every year or so from the next big virus or worm that affects almost every Microsoft OS before a patch or update can fix it.

    NOW lets ask our lil wintendows fan how much he pays for CD keys and Microsoft Software. What about all the Anti-virus programs you need to buy? What about the third party firewalls you need because MycrowSUCK's own lil firedink cant block a pee flake.

    Did anyone forget to think who made the annoucement that Wintendows is cheaper than Linux? I think it was Microsoft who payed VeriTest to release this information. It was Microsoft who also started this campainge to tarnish Linux.

    Nice Job. Not Falling for it. Thanks for the good laugh!

  2. Comment - 8 Fixes Prepped for MS 'Patch Tuesday'

    Hey!

    If you hate the updates in XP you'll REALLY hate Mcafee!!

    I dont know if its just me, but it seems they update just about every week. It dosent bug me at all. I'm happy that at least they care.

    BTW: I never had a single problem with running Microsoft software(Except for Windows ME; remember that one? hah.) about 75% of microsofts problems comes from some of the 'perpetual whiners' and anti-wintendows smart guys who make the malware or figure out the holes and exploits in microsoft software. The other 25% is just bad press.

    You cant get mad a microsoft if you don't keep up to date with a Virus scanner and Firewall. Its your own fault for not securing your computer. Always remember that your computer is only as smart as the user. If you really don't want the updates just disable 'automatic updates.' If you don't know how... Then I feel for you, and your ignorant computer.

    [EDIT]: OOPS! I ment to make a new post. Didnt mean to reply.
