Microsoft is a bad company because everything that they make, with the exception of their wireless intellimouses is utter crap. Self destructing OS, self screen cracking zunes, self destructing software like Word and Power point. A great way to put it is in two words, Internet Explorer.cowsgoquack101 wrote:So, can someone please explain to me why Microsoft is a bad company?
I mean if you think they're greedy, yeah they are. But who isn't, Apple? Hell, if they aren't.
Well, maybe I've had a lot better luck than you. Besides IE isn't that bad. I only use it at school when I had to, but firefox isn't that great either...XPCportables wrote:Microsoft is a bad company because everything that they make, with the exception of their wireless intellimouses is utter crap.

Is your computer surrounded by Tesla coils or something?XPCportables wrote:Microsoft is a bad company because everything that they make, with the exception of their wireless intellimouses is utter crap.

IE really is utter crap. It's only good for Active Server Pages and downloading another browser.
My computer is suicidal. Windows has actually destroyed it's self for no aparent reason at least twice. In those two times I didn't even have the thing hooked up to the internet. Tons of Dlls have gotten corrupted causing multiple programs not to work properly. My latest reformat seems to be doing fine, but I am one of the most careful managers of their PC around.bicostp wrote:Is your computer surrounded by Tesla coils or something?XPCportables wrote:Microsoft is a bad company because everything that they make, with the exception of their wireless intellimouses is utter crap.

Self-destructing OS: I've never seen Windows commit suicide. Windows doesn't kill Windows, people kill Windows.
Self-screen-cracking Zunes: You're right in that the Zune is crap, but you can't blame Microsoft if the screen cracks. (All they do is supply the software and slap their logo on it, just like all the rest of their hardware.) The blame usually lies with the user, or more rarely the assembly plant or the company that manufactured the LCD.
self destructing software like Word and Power point: Again I've never seen Word or Powerpoint kill themselves. Every time I've seen that happen it's because dumb kids installed crapware on the computer (this is at college and in high school, by the way), which messes everything up.
Internet Explorer: Uh... You got me there.
I'm not a Microsoft fanboy but honestly they aren't as bad as people say they are.
no you don't understand. I did not do this to my computer. I seriously only install the necessities, that being, open office, firefox, daemon tools, Nero, Riva Tuner, Half-Life + expansions and half life 2. other than that, maybe a few games like CoD2 and Quake 4 have made their way onto my computer. No crapware, only trustworthy stuff. I use 7zip to keep all of my archives nice and tidy and reformant when needed.

Sound like you have the computer from Hell. This is how you fix it. Take it into a dark alley. Hit it a few times with a baseball bat. Then get a bunch of fireworksand stick them in the tower to reprogram it. Light the fireworks the begin the reprograming. And to top it off put a few bullets through the CPU to make sure it's fixed.XPCportables wrote:no you don't understand. I did not do this to my computer.

EDIT: My hard drive is part of my woes, it crashes a lot. I got it used and well, It isn't the greatest. But my computer is not the only suicidal computer I have ever run into. they're everywhere, you just have to look for them.
