Wondoes is not bad at all if you appreciate what it was made for. The main purposes are "make big business bigger" and "allow the US government to eavesdrop on everyone in the whole wide world" So from a technical perspective it truly is revolutionary. Every non US government gave their cyberspace to Microsoft! I mentioned how upsetting this was in 1995 The response talked mostly about a nice green start button. And how I should support the mainstream consensus of ubertruth. You know the theorem: If you are 10 steps ahead of the crowd you are a lunatic. I must say it took very long for people to figure it out. Even today most minions love using M$ and I'm using it to! Because there is no good alternative left alive. Honestly, Commodore was godly compared to this crap. Take for example the Chinese with the black screen. I thought it was hilarious! Even the Chinese are to stupid to write their own operating system. Would much rather use the US military application. Of course long before that lots and lots of smaller businesses went bankrupt thanx to micro$oft. You just got to give them credit for that. A 10 cent CD that costs hundreds of Euro's !! What to do with the money? Lets go and use it to kill kids in Africa and call it a fax- ination program. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4204425.stm "The foundation run by Microsoft magnate Bill Gates has announced it is dedicating $750m (£400m) to a worldwide infant vaccination programme. Mr Gates said the donation would help save millions of children's lives." Ohh I thought people around the world needed drinking water and food stuffs? You ever try to eat a vaccine? "ohh, I'm hungry please give my shots!"; who believes that? But of course, the windoes crowd loves all Billo rhetorics universally! Here, this is the real work. http://www.ryanswell.ca/ Put your hands on the screen!
