Windows 7 Prices

[GommeInc]

I was relating it with him being a Microsoft fanboy.

How does that make him a fanboy? He said:

"There's something up with your computer then, vista is fine."

Where did you get the conclusion "You must love IE8 and Windows Media Centre", because there is no way you got that conclusion from that... You must be putting words into people's mouths.... And like Wootzeh said, you were changing the topic like you do when you get blasted by everyone from all corners for raging on about you and your hate for Vista :rolleyes:

Wiping the floor with me? That certainly never happened. I remember making some very good points, and then JB came in, rather cocky, and made one or two posts, then the thread got locked, without the discussion advancing. There was no "wiping the floor". And I don't remember you making any reasonable points at all tbh.

Of course you will say I didn't make any good comments, it's what you do when losing an argument... It is common sense that Windows has more available for it than OS X, yet you seemed to of denied it constantly giving half-baked comments like "You don't know what there is available" which lacks proof. The common "game" argument is one of them, which again you try to steer around saying "not everyone games" when the primary argument was "more is available FULL STOP" not "loads are available, but it depends if you use it or not".

It's like the virus argument too, which you lost - "If you get viruses it is your own fault" which revolves around the common argument "less viruses are available to Mac users than Windows users" when it is common sense and incredibly simple to avoid viruses - a dead-end argument for Mac users alike who think the lack of viruses on a Mac machine is a God send, when like you agreed, it is your fault for getting them - added security or not, even though Vista itself is pretty solid and viruses mean very little - they can be removed with ease. You fell into the trap, as Jordy said in that thread, you agreed that getting STIs is your fault, so you agreed yet for some reason, thought it wise to argue against the case when arguing for the case was pointless.

Also, how can you say Microsoft has made more mistakes when Apple have verged on bankruptcy and had to bailed out by the competition? Microsoft make small mistakes, true, but Apple make horribly bad mistakes, and bankruptcy is the main one.

Your point proves your ignorance. You say you used a Mac before, therefore implying that the experience from this ONE time which was probably a duration of 10 minutes should be satisfactory to justify your claims against Apple, then you say you couldn't delete a folder. Well, don't hate on the Operating System if you're not smart enough to use it, silly!

If you want more OSX tutorials you'll have to pay me some Apple Tax amounts of cash.

Ah yes, the assumptions. Apparently I've used Mac OS X only the once! ! I've used it dozens of times, it's not hard to learn the ins and outs of basic things, but with a Mac the most simple of tasks don't exist, like a delete key and on the Mac equivilent to a desktop, there was no right click > Move to Trash, there was simply not an option other than to drag and drop. I like how you again make a post clearly there to cause yet more irritation between you and, well, everyone by adding that little bit of sarcasm in

Seriously, you assume you know everything about me or something, and can assume what I'm going to say. All people in this thread had to do was give me a valid reason why they used Windows and didn't want to use OSX,
"I game way to much, and OSX wouldn't be compatible"
"I can't afford the Apple tax / hardware ripoff"
"I've been using Windows my entire life and I can't be bothered/don't care to switch now"
Three good reasons that one may use Windows, yet the people in this thread have been saying stuff like:
"Apple steals and has run out of features!!1"
"I've never used a Mac but windows must have more features!"
"Vista is fine!" (controversial, but I do not think Vista is fine)

Why do they need to give YOU a reason? The only reason you seem to come into these threads is to troll :/ Saying things like this:

"Anyways, these expensive prices upset me (along with the usual crappy multiple version selection)."

Seriously, everyone is aware when they see your name in a Microsoft thread that you're there to give a worn out argument about why you hate Vista and Microsoft, saying things like the above, which was the first bit of relevance to the thread :/ And even so, what usually crappy multiple version selection? Vista is still a bargain lined up next to the cost of a new Mac machine, so I don't think arguments for "£10 for Leopard when Windows 7 Home Prem is £50 more for an upgrade or £149.99" are relevant when, like you keep babbling, are both different Operating Systems - What PCs charge for the OS (which is rumoured to be released for cheap anyway), they make up for in cheap, powerful parts which make up a pretty good computer.

So you bring it on yourself to get ripped up by everyone, because you rip them up for no reason with silly little comments that can only be defined as trolling, because you make stupid arguments that are there purely to cause bigger arguments which there are no right or wrong answers too, just opinions chucked around which you seem to not understand exist, even though your opinions are just as dumb as everyone elses.

Of course I'm going to make responses to these statements, because they're not true. There are valid reasons someone may choose to use either OS. If I see valid reasons being made then I'm not going to say anything.

Most of them are opinion, if someone says "Vista is fine" then leave them for goodness sake :/ Just because you got left at the aisle by Vista doesn't mean others will be :/ And if people think because there is more available for Vista (which there is), why argue about that when all you do is rant at them causing an uncivilised argument? Give examples, not opinionated crap. You also comment on the valid reasons, which is the common sense argument that more is available to a PC than a Mac - why else do you think Apple Stores, including the online one, lack so much while places like eBuyer, PC World and so on have so much stuff for the PC? Explain that - also games which you hate having mentioned but deem it invalid (because it's the only answer you can give), programs etc etc :/

Something I've seen in this thread is people who have not actually owned or used OSX are ripping it up and Apple, because I'm ripping on Windows Vista / Windows 7 and they want to get back by insulting OSX, even though they don't have any experience with it. If I were them I'd probably do it too (I've seen you do it before too, if I'm not mistaken, with that lame "I COULDNT DELETE STUFFZ" excuse). These people may think they sound what they know what they're talking about, but it is painfully obvious they lack experience with the OS.

Maybe it's the fact you make unnecessary comments for NO reason, like the 3 different versions of Windows 7 and lack the thinkings skills of why 3 different versions exist. :rolleyes: It's not them throwing the first punch, it. is. YOU

I think that's all in check - if not, I'll come back in the morning

[Turbocom]

Refusing to say because I don't want any provincial-based insults.

Quebec or Manitoba, and if you are from Quebec split off already because (us) below you are starting to get really annoyed.

Second of all, that's a valid point GommeInc brings up. Microsoft had to bail the hell out of Apple, IE, JAVA, OFFFICE!!! Come-on Microsoft still owns a sliver of that company. Who knows maybe if that happened again - or they could go back in time. Maybe they wouldn't help.

I'm going to back out of this now, because the entire thread has changed topics.

How does that make him a fanboy? He said:

"There's something up with your computer then, vista is fine."

Where did you get the conclusion "You must love IE8 and Windows Media Centre", because there is no way you got that conclusion from that... You must be putting words into people's mouths.... And like Wootzeh said, you were changing the topic like you do when you get blasted by everyone from all corners for raging on about you and your hate for Vista :rolleyes:

You are terrible at reading into what people are saying. Vista is not fine, Vista is far from fine. When he said Vista is fine I posted saying I bet he uses IE and Media Center too meaning I bet he's in love with all of Microsoft's products. He got it, I don't know why you didn't:eusa_wall:eusa_wall:eusa_wall:eusa_wall:eus a_wall

Of course you will say I didn't make any good comments, it's what you do when losing an argument...

and of course with no referee you would say you won the argument (even though going back to that thread, you were non-existent).

It is common sense that Windows has more available for it than OS X, yet you seemed to of denied it constantly giving half-baked comments like "You don't know what there is available" which lacks proof. The common "game" argument is one of them, which again you try to steer around saying "not everyone games" when the primary argument was "more is available FULL STOP" not "loads are available, but it depends if you use it or not".

What are you on about? Are you making things up that I "said"? Or are you do you not understand what I mean? There's a difference between a Mac and OSX. My statement was, OSX has less software (obviously, there's less users so there's less developers). However, the Mac is still capable of running as much and more than Windows, because PPC is gone, and Intel is in. That's technically speaking. Obviously there's enough software to satisfy myself, and I'm not a gaming nut, so the lack of gaming doesn't really affect me (plus I have an XP machine I can game on if I want). C'mon, you used a Mac for 10 minutes in a store, you have experience!!! you should know all of this!!!!!11

It's like the virus argument too, which you lost (I didn't know it was a contest and I won)- "If you get viruses it is your own fault" which revolves around the common argument "less viruses are available to Mac users than Windows users" when it is common sense and incredibly simple to avoid viruses -

Less viruses is very convenient. Sure they're easy to avoid, but if it's SO easy, then why are people still getting viruses? Hmm :eusa_wall

a dead-end argument for Mac users alike who think the lack of viruses on a Mac machine is a God send, when like you agreed, it is your fault for getting them - added security or not, even though Vista itself is pretty solid and viruses mean very little - they can be removed with ease.

Wrong. Invalid. Untrue. Fail. Vista is not "pretty solid". There's loads of viruses out there. Antivirus is NOT god, it's pretty good but doesn't do a 100% perfect job at finding and removing all viruses from your machine.

You fell into the trap, as Jordy said in that thread, you agreed that getting STIs is your fault, so you agreed yet for some reason, thought it wise to argue against the case when arguing for the case was pointless.

My initial statement was getting an STI is your own fault, but wouldn't it be convenient not to worry about getting them at all. Of course I am going to say it's your own fault, if it was part of the expression I said in the first place. Did you even read that thread? Did you comprehend it:S

Also, how can you say Microsoft has made more mistakes when Apple have verged on bankruptcy and had to bailed out by the competition? Microsoft make small mistakes, true, but Apple make horribly bad mistakes, and bankruptcy is the main one.

I can see where you're coming from with the bailout, so all I'll say is: Microsoft has made more mistakes, but Apple's were more idiotic. Look at it this way: Apple almost went bankrupt, and Microsoft saved them. Microsoft had to save them. What was the reason Microsoft had to save them? Anyways, Jobs is back now and is doing a good job.

Ah yes, the assumptions.

That's quite contradictory of you to say, you make tons and tons of assumptions.

Apparently I've used Mac OS X only the once! ! I've used it dozens of times,

Then I feel bad for you that you couldn't even delete a folder

it's not hard to learn the ins and outs of basic things, but with a Mac the most simple of tasks don't exist, like a delete key and on the Mac equivilent to a desktop, there was no right click > Move to Trash, there was simply not an option other than to drag and drop.

You must have missed my screenshot where there was clearly a delete button ?

I like how you again make a post clearly there to cause yet more irritation between you and, well, everyone by adding that little bit of sarcasm in

Where is the sarcasm in showing you there is a trash button. Can another OSX user show this guy there is a delete button?

Why do they need to give YOU a reason? The only reason you seem to come into these threads is to troll :/ Saying things like this:

LOL. And you're not trolling now:eusa_wall:eusa_wall? And they need to "give ME a reason because they are replying and thus talking to ME."

"Anyways, these expensive prices upset me (along with the usual crappy multiple version selection)."

Once again you twist it to make me look all terrible. I also said Macs are too expensive. I'll say it again: Macs are too expensive!
MACS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE!

Seriously, everyone is aware when they see your name in a Microsoft thread that you're there to give a worn out argument about why you hate Vista

I do hate Vista, many people hate Vista. You have never replied giving me valid reasons (or any reasons) why my reasons for hating Vista are invalid. You just go off saying I said all this stuff I didn't say, actually.

and Microsoft,

I like Microsoft. They make me angry sometimes, but I had a lot of fun times with XP and 2k, and even 98.

saying things like the above, which was the first bit of relevance to the thread :/

Speaking of relevance to the thread:rolleyes:

And even so, what usually crappy multiple version selection? Vista is still a bargain lined up next to the cost of a new Mac machine, so I don't think arguments for "£10 for Leopard when Windows 7 Home Prem is £50 more for an upgrade or £149.99" are relevant when, like you keep babbling, are both different Operating Systems

Once again (like for the 8th time or something) Macs are overpriced. Their operating system is not. Funny how I can say Macs are overpriced and not get a response. But when I say precious Windows is too much it's the end of the world! It's not my fault Apple software is so cheap and awesome .

- What PCs charge for the OS (which is rumoured to be released for cheap anyway), they make up for in cheap, powerful parts which make up a pretty good computer.

Once again, I'll say something you should have seen in the other thread you like to missquote so much: PCs subtract Vista are a bargain.

So you bring it on yourself to get ripped up by everyone, because you rip them up for no reason with silly little comments that can only be defined as trolling, because you make stupid arguments that are there purely to cause bigger arguments which there are no right or wrong answers too, just opinions chucked around which you seem to not understand exist, even though your opinions are just as dumb as everyone elses.

1. You're not everyone.
2. My little silly comments beat up your littler sillier comments.
3. You're trolling a lot.
4. This thread was almost argument dry before you came to the rescue, so I think you're causing the "bigger arguments".

Most of them are opinion, if someone says "Vista is fine" then leave them for goodness sake :/ Just because you got left at the aisle by Vista doesn't mean others will be :/ And if people think because there is more available for Vista (which there is) (Link and quote, as well as posts leading up to said quote, of where I said elsewise, please?), why argue about that when all you do is rant at them causing an uncivilised argument? Give examples, not opinionated crap.

Same from you, mr. THE EASIEST THINGS ON THE MAC CANNOT BE DONE!!!11

You also comment on the valid reasons, which is the common sense argument that more is available to a PC than a Mac - why else do you think Apple Stores, including the online one, lack so much while places like eBuyer, PC World and so on have so much stuff for the PC? Explain that - also games which you hate having mentioned but deem it invalid (because it's the only answer you can give), programs etc etc :/

What is with you? This is like the 5th time you've referenced me saying there's more available for OSX. Seriously, you misquoting me and then getting mad at me because of your misquote is seriously hurting my feelings.

Maybe it's the fact you make unnecessary comments for NO reason, like the 3 different versions of Windows 7 and lack the thinkings skills of why 3 different versions exist. :rolleyes: It's not them throwing the first punch, it. is. YOU

Mmhm, and I'm the only one in the thread making unnecessary comments:eusa_wall

I think that's all in check - if not, I'll come back in the morning

I have to wait:@


Anyways, I think what's happening here is that you're miss interrupting or not remembering what's been said in another thread, and then posting it here and getting angry about it. You probably mean well, I would hope.

Quebec or Manitoba, and if you are from Quebec split off already because (us) below you are starting to get really annoyed.

Second of all, that's a valid point GommeInc brings up. Microsoft had to bail the hell out of Apple, IE, JAVA, OFFFICE!!! Come-on Microsoft still owns a sliver of that company. Who knows maybe if that happened again - or they could go back in time. Maybe they wouldn't help.

I'm going to back out of this now, because the entire thread has changed topics.

Oh heavens no, I am not in Quebec. I'd like them to separate too, actually, so we can finally stop hearing their moaning. I didn't know I was talking to another Canadian here! Can't remember if you called me the typical Canadian, but if you did and are Canadian then I'm sorry, you can call me a typical Canadian.

Holy crap, that has to be the longest post on this forum ever.

Guys, it's down to personal preference, just quit it.
