Get your classic Microsoft spin here (1 Viewer)

[Martin]

MS did a campaign a bunch of years ago that was antiLinux and was called "get the facts". It was of course pure spin. Now they're back with another round.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/get-the-facts/browser-comparison.aspx

I remind the reading public that the word "fact" means "an objective truth". Among these "facts" they have included "ease of use", which is not even a measurable quality.

Needless to say, MS has given itself full score with zingers like Sure, Firefox may win in sheer number of add-ons, but many of the customizations you'd want to download for Firefox are already a part of Internet Explorer 8 – right out of the box. Yeah, so I guess that means all the customizations not already part of IE8 you just don't need. And if you thought you did you're mistaken.

I mean what idiot would fall for this?

I love it when you hate Microsoft. I love Microsoft though. Best company ever.

 

[Martin]

What's that, vlatko? Are you mad that your browser isn't being subjected to false information from MS?

I think the only reason that can make anyone to love Microsoft (specifically windows,although X360 isn't anything to be proud of too!) is that he or she hasn't used Linux or Mac before!

That's just not true.

They have the audacity to come out and say they are better than everyone, I don't expect them or any other company for that matter to come out and say " well we are good" but this is where the others do better.

They don't create the best product, its just the most convenient i guess ( coming from someone who is using MS products )

I would restate that slightly.

If I paid to have your fridge loaded with a Pepsi bottle that connects to a faucet in the wall so that you have unlimited amounts of Pepsi right in your fridge to drink whenever you want, that would be "convenient". Especially because you would not even have to pay for this (obviously I would deduct a charge on your rent for this but naturally I would not tell you).

So what I'm doing is providing "convenience" which is actually a sneaky way of making you pay for something without agreeing to it first. Now imagine every refridgerator in the store has one of those built-in Pepsi bottles and there's no way you can even buy one without it. Convenient, no?

Wait... what?

This info is available in public. If it is wrong, other companies like google and Firefox will be more than happy to sue!

 

[Martin]

So let me get this straight. You believe it's all factual?

 

[Yamen]

To a certain level, yes I do. Otherwise, why risk it and bragg about IE in public when its false. Make sense?

 

[JCK]

Yes. Have you heard of false marketing?

 

[Martin]

Because they risk nothing by doing it. Some other company can claim they are lying, but these things are hard to prove objectively and noone is going to sue them over false advertising.

Btw I understand where you're coming from, as incredible as your opinions are about Microsoft.

Great minds think alike

You picked a really bad time. I'm leaving here July 7, returning around August 7.

 

[JCK]

No, I did not pick a bad time. You see, I am really picky about calling things good and bad. It's a great time actually because my birthday is on the 11th.
