XP activation woes (none / 0) (#3)
by Anonymous User on Sat Feb 26, 2005 at 02:54:25 AM PDT

What I do not understand is why cry babies like the author CONTINUES TO USE WINDOWS? Why don't people who are feed up with the outrageous greed and dangerous products produced of and by Microsoft learn to use a different operating system? Are they lazy or JUST PLAIN STUPID? I have not used any Microsoft product in my personally owned business for over three years now. We use Linux and Apple products and get along just fine without any Microsoft product at all. And we don't have to worry about constant security patches, viruses, spyware, computer freeze ups, product over pricing, dealing with ridiculous licensing procedures, or software activation. None of these problems exist outside of the "Microsoft World". I say to all you cry babies out there feed up with Microsoft - pull your head out of your behinds and move to another operating system. And to the smart-ass that will surely reply to this saying that the problems that I named above do exist with non-microsoft products - I say: No, they do not, you are so wrong! If any of the above problems do occur using Linux or Apple products it is on an insignificant scale. And not because these products are used by less people, but because these products are designed for REAL PRODUCTIVITY and not as advertising platforms, toys, and monopoly enablers.
