Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (16 Viewers)

[Eddy]

It is stable but the service packs hardly make any difference. Then again XP is an operating system that has been in the market for the past 6 fucking years, the least it can be is become stable.

Wow, you must really hate Microsoft.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Hate Microsoft? No not really, I don't care about them, I am sure that their products are a failure.

 

[Marko]

Love it or not, they have some amazing products.

 

[JCK]

I never used any of their amazing products.

 

[Marko]

Never ever?

I'm a Windows user turned Linux lover since about 2 years ago, and I can honestly say that I've never been amazed by any Microsoft product. I'm somewhat surprised when they work properly and don't crash, but to call that amazement is a bit of an overstatement.

Like what, Solitaire?

 

[Marko]

Like Internet Explorer 6! I'm joking of course. Like XP, Office, Servers (not web), SQL Server, Visual Studio,...

You think Office is "amazing"? In what way?

I suppose I could consider it amazing for the amazing amount of frustration, anger and disgust I've poured over it, but otherwise I don't see how.

Maybe it's not amazing, but it's best office suite (and you know it, you M$ hater ).

 

[Kosta]

The Pinball is great though.

 

[Marko]

Yea, and Tour Windows XP Bubble too!

 

[JCK]

Maybe their mice and keyboards are goo, but that's about it really.

Servers? Give me a break

This is some rare good stuff that came up from M$.

So what you're saying is that it's the least bad office suite. The least painful to use. The least annoying. The least broken. Why, what a strong endorsement.

Yes, it's the best office suite. That doesn't mean office suites are a good thing to begin with. In fact, the reason why Office is such a humongous pain to use is because office suites are fundamentally wrong. Just like a golf club is fundamentally wrong for baseball.

Come on Martin, don't get nervous, I'm not working for M$.

personally, since I converted to Ubuntu I haven't find any thing to bother me except that i stopped playing PC games (and i'm getting around that lately .. forza Wine) .. and when i need to correct something on word or excel in my college .. it's just a pain in the ass to convert from .odt to .doc .. needs a lot of reformatting the essay or whatever ..

 

[Martin]

What happened? Did you run out of reasons why Office is "amazing"?

Yeah, it sucks. And OpenOffice is even worse. It's like a bad copy of MsOffice. God I hate office suites.

too bad we need it to do many things .. Sad is the fact that I might even fail many courses if I don't use them ..
