Why Does Everybody Hate Windows?

[gingermagicman]

Seriously, can I have a god opinion why everybody hates Windows?
If you hate Windows please answer these questions:
1. Is Windows always crashing on you?
2. If you answered yes to the question above, it was always, wasn't it?
3. Why do you hate Windows?

[TheTrooper5]

That's a very blatant overstatement assuming everybody does...

I don't really have any major concerns with it

God's opinion on WIndows is that it rocks the socks off everything. Ever. Also, Jesus says, "Windows is the bomb. I know you're not supposed to have false idols, but if you did, worship this."

I'm sure the 80% of the world's computer users all hate Windows.

[Crink]

because windows isn't linux

1. Is Windows always crashing on you?

NO (well,that was ez...)

yep...

not until we bought a pc vista and the guy who sold it to us said they had most of the problems worked out...
(it even crashed when copying files back then...)

3. Why do you hate Windows?

because of incompatability, macs are way faster, macs look awesome, windows blocks openoffice so they make more money

Yeah! But I like Windows nevertheless!

[hdxmike]

It fucking depends. XP is Pretty shite Vista is horse shite and Windows 7 isnt too bad

Mac OSX is immune to PC viruses and it looks better and runs faster and has the best hardware and support to back it up.

[robin1232]

tell you what, if windows wouldnt support games all of sudden, microsoft would go bankrupt

Speed is based around hardware, not operating system. Windows doesn't block openoffice, of course they don't, who told you that? Macs have more incompatibility, most programs and games are built for windows, not macs.

hell no it isnt, just as internet speed is not only based on your connection but also on your browser

Windows doesn't block openoffice, of course they don't, who told you that?

have you tried using openoffice since the vista service pack 2 update? doesnt work anymore does it?

uh, yes it is. of course some speed is down to your operating system, but if you're running on suitable hardware you'll notice no speed problems. I've been running windows vista and windows 7 from this computer for a while now and it's super fast.

I haven't, but that's most likely a software problem, not microsoft pro-actively blocking it. It runs on windows 7 fine.

Because not everyone wants to use condoms, but they have to.

That's actually incorrect and I'd expect you to know better. :/

Maximum potential is based on hardware, but an operating system can do a lot to make a computer slower to the end user, even just in its scheduling of the CPU. That said, the only and biggest weakness that I know of for Windows in that department is the way files are stored on the disk. Their method leads to fragmentation, which means that you are more likely to miss the block you need when the CPU goes to main memory to look for information, which means waiting longer and longer on your hard drive to retrieve the information.

[TheStonePilot]

I do hate Windows. But it's better then Macs.

Also, parody threads are fail.

of course operating system has an effect, but the main speed is down to the hardware. My point was that he's complaining vista sucked but that wasn't because of vista as such, it was because he was running shitty hardware. Maybe I should have clarified.

[killerrob]

It has the blue screen of death, thats why I love it.

I agree, i ran vista on a 1.8 ghz processor with 1 Gb ram for 2 years and wanted to shoot Bill in the face , i tried it at a friends house with 2 gb ram and 2.4 Ghz processor and it wasn't half bad.

The OS still blows but the 'blowage' varies

[TimeSilverNightDemon]

It depends on what programs you want to use.

[iamgrimreaper]

I laugh at people who are too naive to realize that they have a shitty computer, and that's the reason windows crashes...

4GB of ram, 2GB of Vram and an intel core 2 quad 2.4 GHZ

Then you must be fucking up your computer. On my old old Desktop I've got 358 MB of ram, 1 something GHZ processor, and a shitty-ass graphics card, but when I upgraded to Vista it never crashed.

[megakill]

my pc does everything i want it to and is fairly fast, so i have no complaints.

im a pc and im 17 years old...

It was an nVidia GTX wasnt it ?

[nsc007]

Better question is, why hate Vista? I have the 64 bit version, which has even more supposed problems, and I have been able to make Vista work fine, with 1 BSOD in 2 years of operation, and only half a dozen non-compatible programs. I also got rid of that annoying cancel/allow feature.

[chainsawmurderer53]

The old ones are awkward to use, and the new ones are deigned to look good. Neither works very well, so I used a hacked OS.

WINDOWS SEVEN HAS MUTILATED MS PAINT.

Don't remember, all I know is that it's pure shit. Like an '03 model.
