Also in Fortune see this story about the MicroTards threatening freetards with their patents. I love this. It's like seeing a fight break out at the Special Olympics. The two crappiest software development groups in the world are duking it out over who wrote this rat's nest of code that nobody in their right mind should want to use anyway. Folks, if you want a really hardcore crash-proof Unix-based (not "Unix-like") operating system, with a beautiful user interface, smooth integration with peripherals, and so forth -- it already exists. Little hint on how to find it. Go to your local mall. Look for the store with the big white apple in the window. As for you freetards and MicroTards: Please keep fighting and confusing customers and scaring the shit out of everyone. Please please please.

hehehe.... I have to agree... only a total geektard would waste their time running Linux on their desktops! Then there's windows, which only gametards would run, simply out of desperation because they are obsessive about the latest FPS!
God forbid Microsoft should do something to earn money like putting out a great product. Or even a good product. Or even a mediocre product.
No, keep pumping out the crap and suing the bollocks off anything that moves. Or doesn't move.
Pathetic.
"The Linux graphical user interfaces - essentially, the way design elements like menus and toolbars are set up runs afoul of 65 [microsoft patents].
Wow, that is some serious chutzpah.
Perhaps we can get Computer Associates to weigh in with their expertise...
As if Apple doesn't infringe 235 Microsoft patents as well (and Windows infringes 235 Apple patents, etc. etc.) That's just the way patents are--it's impossible to do anything without infringing dozens of them. Patents should be abolished.
Apple already has a license to most if not all of the questionable patents, thanks to a genius cross-licensing agreement it entered into with Microsoft almost 10 years ago. So, technically, neither are violating each others' 235 patents.
Gametards? That's a new one. Guess you're right too, I know a few of them without Macs … all spent out after buying another generation console trio and getting bled dry with those MMO subs. It's gruesome to watch, but sickly intriguing.
Meanwhile there's the real base. People who don't play games if they aren't called Solitaire and who aren't quite sure what their operating system's called because it seems as inane as knowing the platform their cell handset is based on.
Win them and win the game. Steve knows. It's falling together don't you think?
"The Linux graphical user interfaces - essentially, the way design elements like menus and toolbars are set up - run afoul of another 65, he claims."
Look and feel all over again
Lawyers rejoicing
EFF rejoicing
Champagne a'poppin'
Microsoft will not exist in twenty years
I will shed no tear
In my champagne
not to rain on everyone's parade, fsj, but uh... what other major OS runs on something that is technically FSF-OS-ware... from berkeley, i think... and would infringe on a lot of the similar OS-core patents ... hmmmm... what's the name of it... it's coming to me... give me a sec...
(and before i get blasted by the 'tards, i'm not talking about "look and feel," that is what is covered under the decade-old cross-licensing agreement; but the core of OS X was developed well after that cross-licensing agreement and a lot of what is in the core of BSD would not be covered)
The linux graphical user interface - well, let's just say, spaces has already been done, and when windows does that, tell me.
Interesting you equate M$ vs. Linux to a "fight at the special olympics". How much you wanna bet, that given your current disposition in life, that you either have a special member in your family or will in the future. Now, how funny would that be if your son/daughter is the one in that fight you mentioned and everyone in the audience is laughing, better yet, thousands of readers of a blog are laughing as well. How funny would that be.. to you?
I would say that when you reach that level of fame u are not much in control of what thousands of people think. As long as they think you are cool enough to give you their money. And if these people are mesmerized enough to give you more money later, then you may want to listen to these people first. Please do not start counting them because if you want to keep on making them happy they need you to go back to work. And by the way, i charge an arm and a leg for consulting if you need more help :-> That includes free everything for 10 generations at any apple store in the world. Think...
1. beautiful user interface:
try to copy files from your digital camera to usb-drive using mac
mac is counter intuitive and makes this simple file operation virtually impossible
2. smooth integration with peripherals: check out what happens when you unplug the usb-drive
on windows unplug is ok, mac makes you belive you just corrupted the hardware
exmacfun - or is it fan? Taking photos from a camera in apple is easy as pie. Same in linux. Plugging a USB drive into windows takes 5 minutes just to recognize it. 5 minutes! Oh, wait, I think you should check that autorun toolbox that just popped up when you inserted the thumbdrive. What do you want to do? Nothing? Use the frigtarded wizard? Open it in windows explorer? You have a long time to choose, because your computer froze up. Virtual memory running low. 1 gig of ram just cant do it.
microtard.
wow.. it's true. mac users are dumb as shit. just for a second lets take a look at a few things. hum. apple tv or media center. yeah.. watching u-tube on apple tv in low rez on an hdtv sounds like alot of fun if your 12 years old. also, where's the tv in apple tv? just what i want ANOTHER box in my living room. i phone or ppc? lets spend more money on the iphone, and then have no software to run on it. and lets not forget the xbox 360, anyone know of a higher quality media renderer? oh yeah, there isn't one. apple tv is a joke in comparison to a media center pc /w a 360. and then theres office, which is only the basis for all corporate communications, you know.. the places you work. that pay your rent and feed your dumb ass's. don't forget the apple os ui.. wow it sucks. compleatly unintuitive, and obviously designed only for the apple groupie market. that less then 3% of the world. if you dumb shit's are having an issue with you windows machines. heres a briliant idea. BUY DECENT HARDWARE. you pay for what you get. ofcourse a 3k mac book pro is going to be more stable then a 300 dollar dell. i have a good machine, you know how often it crashes? NEVER!!.. wana know how long my media center's been running? 8months of serving up hd content to both my living room and bedroom. the war is over. it never realy began. apple is a joke and the whole world is laughing.
Man, this is really just a disturbed Mac-fag we're dealing with.
Yeah he is a macfag, he's jealous of the greatest machine ever built. I'm running os 10.1.5 on an imac 333mhz I bought in 1999!! (thx Steve) even in quebec. AhAh I'll rig tiger in a month. So ,Anonymus how many PC towers (from gateshit) did you scrap in the: let's say 10 years?
Irest my case. Mac is the best.;-)
Though of course the Kernel Mac uses is junk.
Pardon the language, but I think you're frigging idiots! there is no OS-war!
Let me get this straight, the Free and Open source- OS's are not "competitors" in your imaginary "war." They have no "customers" that provide them money for software development, Microsoft and Apple develop software with money, FOSS, develops software from the community. I'm not saying Mac's suck (hell no!). I use OS X, Windows and Linux also in my life you know. I just want some toning down with your language.
And calling Windows users microtards, and us FOSS users freetards is very childish.
ps: in the words of Linus Torvalds himself, "I'd
like to be able to just "ignore the bait", but ... Time for some
serious flamefesting!"
