OMG!!!1 I will run Windows now and forever! JK, I have to use Windows at work, and it's freaking painful to do. How do you guys do it every day?
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to use windows fairly productively. The trick is to be paranoid, whenever you're firewall asks you a question always deny access a few times. If u dont notice any reduced functionality then keep denying. Also, scan all downloads twice with an AV for good luck. And finally try to understand what it's like to be a Microsoft product, and you may find Windows better than you did before. Or not.
Oh, it's not just the security I was referring to. I was talking about it's slowness, the horrible way it handles memory and multi-tasking, and the fact that it randomly locks up and generally needs to be rebooted pretty often.
don't forget how it randomly just refuses to load and then you run around screaming for a windows install disk/key yeah i just came from a lan.
I'd just run Firefox in full-screen and visit lots of Linux or anti-MS websites... does help. And then the sweet vengeance when WebNonSense says "access forbidden: Category - Tasteless" with many anti-MS websites, and I just use Google Cache or Google Translation service to access same content... I even made a quick-search-key for that in FF. :ff:
