quaintly: Saving Face

  • Jay · 3 years ago
    I see no point in this. It's just stupid. A few months ago, Microsoft allowed all illegal copy to become "legal," as in, they were going to turn the other way. So, that means, if anyone who installed windows from that point on is in deep shit. One may ask, why is Microsoft doing this, is it for the money? Fuck no! They have enough money from windows and office. The windows and office depts are making a shit load of money. If you were to get one of those new Intel Macs, you need to back a new copy of windows, no other way works. So, they are still selling out the Windows XP editions. Microsoft is hurting in the gaming and media center areas. The Xbox and Xbox 360 are money eaters. They lose a shit load. The gaming division has been in the red before we even sold a system. And with media center, if you wanted a media center type computer, most people would turn to a Apple computer or a Linux computer as they are better and Linux is open source. So, why is Microsoft doing this? The same reason why Windows 95, 98, and ME are no longer supported. With Vista's launch around the corner, they need to create a fear, a need for a "safer and more secure" Operating System. Many geeks would scream out that OS X is safer and more secure, however because Windows, no matter how shitty the OS is, is still the choice for the normal man. Remember when I said "Fuck no!" for the money question? I take that back. They want more money, because the gaming and media center dept. blow. And Vista is prolly gonna blow too, but hey, miracles can happen right?

    I never update my Windows too. NEVER. Not that arsed to do so.i nstantly click [X] everytime i see that notification. And dear, who doesn't fear of embarassment? We all have ego bigger than our asses therefore it's acceptable that your dad actually spent that kinda moolah on his golf set. tell me abt it man. I thought I was the only one out there having a problem understanding fathers who buy stuff just for the sake of buying. Real expensive antiques, chinese embroidery framed pictures, carvings, GOLF CLUBS, and oh, bonsais too. Yeah, highly ridiculous and not acceptable prices for bonsais.

    A friend of my dad who is a gemologist offered him a precious stone ring for 32K. and he did buy it eventually. And why? because businessman collects rare gem stones and for the sake of investment or passion, it's worth all that shit. Said the gemologist. I say? Bullshit.
