Changed my mind after reading what other lies you posted.

I especially love the part about it rolling back all my work

and create your own new ones.)

A rollback doesn't touch your documents at all. That is yet another
blatant lie.

Hi Shadow,

What is with the name calling? Be a gentleman. If you want
me to go into detail, just ask. I will give you a hint: I
said nothing about documents being rolled back because
I wasn't talking about documents. Think r-e-g-e-s-t-r-y.
I was configuring things. Those configurations go into
the registry.


Did you miss the articles on W7 where M$ admitted they did
not read testers comments?

By all means, provide a link to a single one and make sure to quote the
explanation as to _why_ they didn't.

Look through Info Worlds archives,


W7, when compared to Linux or Apple, is a toad. The only reason
people use it is the lack of applications on other platforms.

Another shameless lie. Mac OS X is by far the _slowest_ operating system
I've ever used. On 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 is excellent. On 4GB of RAM, OS
X is slow as molasses. I get superior performance on a Core i3 with 4GB
RAM with Windows 7 running on NTFS than I could ever get on a Core i5
with 4GB RAM running OS X. Every single time I have to fix my parents'
Mac Mini Core i5, I am ASTOUNDED by how slow it is.

Again with the name calling.

I do not see a lot of macs, but I do see them. Their use of
solid state hard drive means they kick butt speed wise over
mechanical drive systems of any type. OSx is basically
Posix UNIX with an (extremely) proprietary GUI on top of it.

What you describe sounds like something is wrong. Do you
have an Apple Store near by that you can take it to?


I have Linux server that run without a reboot for YEARS.

A SERVER? Who the **** cares about your stupid server's uptime? Linux
idiots have long boasted about how long they can go without restarting
their computer as if everyone on the planet needed for their computer to
run 24/7/365. It's such a ridiculous thing to consider when just about
everyone CHOOSES to shut down every day even though they don't have to.

I used the example of a server because that is where you would
be expected to see the longest run time between reboots.

Actually, about 50% of my customers have to be told. It would
be interesting what Char's customers do as she deals with
a lot of them too. They way I tell my customers is "It is
like a car tire. The longer you use it, the quicker it wears
out"

I have to set up nightly reboot on Windows servers their
quality is so bad.

My brother-in-law handles Windows servers and he never restarts them.
You're lying yet again.

Did your mother ever teach you any manners?

And ask him. I commonly have mine restart at 2:00 in the
morning automatically.

When I come across a Windows machine
that is acting weird, the first thing I ask is when was
the last time you rebooted? Then I tell them they should
shutdown at night so as to get their daily required reboot.
There is zero need for that in Apple or Linux.

Complete bull****. My parents' Mac Mini, under my own recommendation,
was never shut down. I believed bull**** like yours for so long that I
actually thought OS X could perform well for weeks or months without
shutting down. Meanwhile, it becomes disgusting pig on day 2. Before
that, I had a G5 iMac, G4 Powerbook and G3 iBook also slowed to a crawl
if not shut down every day. My Windows 8 laptop is never shut down and
meanwhile remains fast at all times. It's not because I'm a magician
either.

Sounds to me like there is something wrong with it. Any Apple
stores near by?

Frankenstein (w8) is really bad on the reboot issue as
it doesn't shutdown when it says shutdown (it suspends),
so you do get a real reboot every night. I can't
tell you how many Frankenstein computers I have fixed
by pulling the power plug (then configuring it to
actually shutdown). W7 is better for this because
it actually shuts down.

That was true for Windows 8. A shutdown option was indeed available but
you needed to configure it in. However, everyone is running 8.1 since a
while now and your statement is no longer correct. Like everything else
you said, it's complete bull****.

I have to configure it in 8.1 too. And sometimes the updates
set it back. Anyone else see this?


Just an aside, did you know that W7 and XP get broke into
at a statistical dead heat? W7 is no more "secure" than
W7, despite what M$'s marketing weasels say:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonke...k-to-viruses-t


Every Windows OS can be infected if stupid users are at the helm. Which
is more impacted and which is less is inconsequential.

That was not the point. The point was that M$ marketing department
has stated that W7 is far more secure than XP and that is one
of the best reasons to upgrade. The statement is false.

And you are correct. The weakest security link is the user.
