Oh no - not another repack

.
Hmmmm Bah Humbug....

As THE actual inventor of the term "Crapware" - about Microsoft Products of course...

THE best thing I ever did was migrate across to Linux.....

I think Microsoft is like buying a lemon car with a great (?) paint job........

I mean I can't just drive it, Nooooooooooooo I have to spend hours under the hood every day, day in and day out, just "looking after it" so it will keep on running....

The MS operating systems that require "going for a drive" not only with a boot load of spares, but also a tow truck and a van full of service technicians..... "OH yay! MS rocks ----- NOT.

And MS's security (anything) is not worth 2 dogs rooting in a blizzard....

I am now so thrilled with MS's offerings, or is that droppings, I think I have to get off line for a while and cry lest I feel overwhelmed with the urge to make a necklace of bricks and go swimming off a bridge......

Microsoft makes me feel suicidal...... Corporate Moron Bullshit to the Max.

Thankyou everyone who ever contributed in anyway towards making LINUX and all it's offerings so good.....

Thankyou that I don't ever have to go back to Microsoft EVER again.....

Microsoft Orifice 07? AFTER having tried it hard for a few days ??? - I wouldn't use it if I had a FREE version of it with hassle free upgrades for the rest of my life...... In fact if I was given a pirated version it would go in the bin......

All I can say is "I am SO grateful that there is Linux - Ubuntu Linux, and Open Office etc....

I am SOOOO pleased that I can escape from the cash cow for idiots by idiots.....

I am looking forward to the release of Windoze 07, as much as I am for dog terds to be made into corn flakes....

Microsoft software and operating systems?

PASS.
