[plug] Windoze

[Paul Dean]

Hya All,

Well "Windoze" mmm know any OS that NEEDS to be rebooted every 49 days?
Oh Oh Oh pick me, Yes the Young man in the back corner...
Winblows, cause there is a bug (feature M$ defintion) in da kernel...
Thank you sir.

Ok, What OS can you use to right a Virus (worm) that then attacks itself
because of poor security?

aahheemmm, Winduz, 'cuz it like itself and trusts itself sooo much.
Yes that's true.
(note not all viruses are written on M$ platforms, just about 95% of
them)

Last but not least, Which OS has its maker recommend "rebooting" as the
best way to fix a problem?

Anyone...anyone please it's real easy, ok then it's Windoze, because of
poor memory management it fills all available memory(physical and swap)
and demands that CPU still process its jobs.

Windoze does have it's place for those users that wish to type a
document and print it out and nothing else. But as a solid OS it fails
time and time again to meet the expectations of hardened well developed
computer users whether workstation or server.

I personally don't know of any other OS that basically says to the user
"You are dumb I will setup and configure and manage and reconfigure and
find and move and copy and update and and and...oh flip I run outta
memory". Even MAC lets the user handle this sorta stuff.

Anyway just my 0.02c

Thanks...
