Default ! Windows 7 Sucks


How much do you charging to suck my cock? Can your daughter do it
cheaply for me? Please reply soon.

IE9 sucks really bad too.

Windows 7 64-bit sucks even worse.

Don't buy it. Insist on XP or Mac!

Hope this helps.

Firefox has one big advantage. It has a *selectable* default folder

So does IE9 and IE8. Not that hard to do; don't know how easy it is for
Firefox.


Easier than for IE9. Since IE9 is pretty easy, you can tell that it isn't
hard for FF.

Without even looking at Help, it took me 30 seconds, because at first I
looked in the wrong place :-)

Like I said, I haven't used FF in forever, and didn't have installed long
enough to search for things like that. IE9, I looked up how to do it after my
first download. IE8 wasn't quite as simple, but still wasn't hard to do (as
I'm sure you know :-) ).


For me the difference is that in Firefox, the setting is where you
might expect it to be, whereas in Internet Explorer 9, it's in some
out-of-the-way place. So in FF, I found it just by looking, but in IE9
I had to find it by using Help.

It's nice to hear from someone that knows exactly what they're talkling
about on this newsgroup. It's been a long time since we've had a poster
who tells it like it is. I've test that hunk a **** windows 7 and
promply abondened it and still use windows xp pro stolen edition.

True.


No, I would say it _is_ Microsoft's, for making an OS (or OS variant)
which can't use older drivers. Why should hardware manufacturers have to
keep producing new drivers (especially for kit they no longer make -
don't know if that's the case in this case)?

This argument was beaten to death on a Linux group (very few mfrs
provide drivers for Linux).

The real issue is lack of standards. We're well past the time that
printers should be plug'n'play, and I don't mean that the OS installs a
driver when you plug in the printer. It's bizarre that one needs
different drivers for different printers made by the same manufacturer. Etc.

Why should MS (or ANY OS maker) support all old hardware ad infinitum? In
order to
advance the OS, keep it able to use the latest hardware and keep it secure,
some things
must be left behind or you'd end up with a huge, ungainly mess. If the

In the early days, an OS was screwed big time if it didn't support the
legacy factor. You can have the world's greatest OS ever seen, but it is
totally worthless if it doesn't support the past. Same is true today. If
you burn bridges as you go, you will always lose.

Since most of the old people at Microsoft has retired. The new
replacements just don't know any better. And I see Microsoft getting
into trouble because of this. Even Microsoft had to layoff people in
recent times because of this (the first time in history). And it isn't
going to get better for Microsoft until they relearn this lesson. And if
they don't... well either Linux or the Mac (or something unknown to us
today) will just take over.

"In the early days"....of what... teletypes and ASCII only
printers ?

Do today's printers even have an ASCII mode anymore whe

copy file.txt lpt1

actually prints the text file ?

Who's burning bridges here ?

The printer mfg's, not MS.

I'm sure the layoffs were just like every other company on
Earth, the economy.....

.....not anything to do with whatever you're going on about
above....or below.

I don't think Linux or Mac (or something unknown) will ever displace Microsoft in my lifetime, but I'm sure someday in
the future, it may be replaced as the top dog.

Years ago (many, many), I tried OS/2 Warp for a little while. After installing it and rebooting, I no longer had a
CD-ROM drive. No OS/2 drivers for it, and none from (IIRC) Panasonic either. The only drives that were native in OS/2
were Matsu****a and a couple of others, and even though they own Panasonic now, they either didn't then or the two
drives weren't close enough for the Matsu****a drivers to work with my drive. I tried OS/2 with Windows 3.1 (upgrade)
thinking that might solve the problem, but no joy there either.

Another bad point was that I had an IBM Big Blue thermal printer, and I couldn't get either version of OS/2 to recognize
it either. IBM OS won't print to an INM printer? What's up with that? After a couple on months of searching and using it
(it was stable and speedy. No wonder; it had no drivers taking up memory), I finally went back to Windows. I've tinkered
with other OSes over the years, but have never left Windows for good. Works fine for me. If there's something about it I
don't like (and believe me, there's plenty), I can usually figure out a workaround or find a third party app to get 'er
done.

I once worked on some software for OS/2. Someone else was the video
expert writing drivers for a few video cards; this was before the card
manufacturers provided drivers.

I suggested to an appropriate person that IBM should be supporting some
other video cards ('twas a long time ago, so I've forgotten the
details). The reply was "We're not in the business of providing drivers
for non-IBM cards". I said no more...

And OS/2 has evaporated.

BTW, I did get to see a demo of some media-like software running under
that system; IIRC, it was really beautiful.
