Microsoft Ineptitude?

rant

Right, as a tech user of a fair number of years I have _finally_ had enough of people who insist on blaming Microsoft for all the world's ills. Believe me, I am no Microsoft fan, but in the same way that I would never drive a Scoda.

OK, kids, clean out those ears and listen...

Microsoft sells products for people to use. These products will invariably break, just as if you drive a car at 9000rpm everywhere then in first gear then that will break. If you bend the tongs on a fork, then it ceases to become a fork. If you want to hack Windows, then hack. It was _never_ sold to be unbreakable or guarenteed to be completely secure.

GET THE FUCK OVER IT, PEOPLE.

Operating Systems, in whatever flavour, are tools to do a job. That's it. Sometimes they are fallible, sometimes not. Programs, again in whatever flavour or guise, are tools to do a job. If you don't like them, or find them unfit-for-purpose, then use something else.

It's still a free country, last time I checked. At least for the moment...

Right, I'm going to get drunk now. Had a lousy day.....

Women....can't live with them, can't shoot them.
