You are dumber that a toddler if you have problems with Vista

Microsoft is currently running an ad campaign with a toddler performing
complex editing tasks on Vista. The message is you are dumber than a three
year old if you cannot get Vista to work properly.
This ad is an insult to all levels of Vista users that reflects the
hostility and contempt Microsoft's current regime has toward its customers.
I don't think Bill Gates at his worst was that hostile to customers, just
business competitors, which is an entirely different mindset.
It must be Balmer. He is going to run Microsoft right into the ground.
It hardly matters.
If the future is in the clouds, and it likely is, then the OS is irrelevant
anyway and it is just a matter of time before Google swallows Microsoft.
I think Google would do a better job of running Microsoft than its current
regime which seems to have the mentality of General Motors in the 1970s:
they'll buy what we make regardless of quality or reliability.

You are dumber than a BRICK.

You can't figure out Vista because a 3 year old can run rings around your
sorry ass. What you need is to power down your computer and go outside,
pick up trash along the highway, never to return again.

Just FYI

You have a problem young fella!

That's been their policy since the beginning. MS holds their paying
customers in utter disdain and laugh about it all the way to the bank.

Change your moniker to "poopoo". It fits better.

Of course it is. I provide a service. How many people that install
Windows for people are MS employees or had anything to do with
developing the OS?

I never have said that I have a problem with MS making money. I do think
that they trick people into buying Windows more times than they need to
with their scurvy activation/become genuine crap. I personally plan to
spend money on Windows 7 because, after installing the BETA, it looks good.

We're sorry you don't understand. Maybe if you smoke some pot you will
understand and maybe you'll chill out at the same time.

I have had clients that don't know how to make a new folder, what a
degrag is or a chckdsk. You need to get out more. I have one client that
even though he watches me install XP, he insists on my doing it and
paying me.

Unless they have an IT department that does that.

No, they go to Windows Update and WGA gives them a false positive and
they erroneously think they have a pirated version and go out and buy a
new copy of Windows.

They didn't create this forum because WGA never fails.

No wonder you love Micro$lut so much; you both have the same disdain for
people who aren't computer savvy.
