After my recent rant about how good shit Windows is, it looks like I upset somebody – oh well. If you haven’t read my post yet, click here.

This is his reply:

So did you write your lame blog entry on a PC or Mac? You have misspellings and grammar problems all over the place.

1. You’re (notice the apostrophe) an idiot. I open files all day and never get an illegal operation error. Sounds like a stupid user error.
2. If it takes 10 minutes, you must be trying to run XP on a 386SX with 4mb RAM. As for Windows screens, you have the “loading” screen and the login screen. If you’re (again, notice the apostrophe) a real lame ass that doesn’t care about security, you can do away with the login screen – your choice.
3. Not a Windows problem. If you have an app that is lingering after uninstall, then the uninstall routine for that APP is the problem, not the Windows OS.
4. Uh… what?
5. Of != Off – grammar, read about it. And this one is stupid anyway – you click start to access a menu of items – one of which happens to be the log OFF item.
6. Again – an APP issue. It’s totally within your rights as a Windows user to DITCH IE and use something that is better to your (no apostrophe needed!) liking – like Firefox!
7. Turn off UAC and STFU. Actually, UAC was made for lame users such as yourself, who “accidentally delete system files” … so leave it on.
8. Again – an APP complaint having nothing to do with the OS. And if you think Expression = Frontpage, you’re an idiot (but I guess that’s already been established).
9. Maybe all the spyware you inadvertently installed is grinding your machine to a halt. Stop trying to click the monkey to win a prize you jackass, and while you’re at it, install Anti-spyware software AND anti-virus software.
10. Again, if you really did get an error like that, you should consider yourself lucky … Windows just probably saved you from turning your computer into a toaster.
11. Stupid user error. I install printers all the time – on XP and Vista… no problems here.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m no huge MS fanboy… I just hate asshats like you that jump on the “I hate Windows” bandwagon for no good reason. You can’t even write an intelligent article.

How rude!! I was most upset by this nasty man!! So upset I stayed up to write this post. There are a few things to note about his reply:

1. He comments on the grammar and spelling – Looks like I touched a nerve about how bad Windows is.
2. He keeps mentioning security – Funny, I don’t seem to get virus’s on my Mac, for that matter how many useless Mac security apps are there? Don’t mis-quote me, i’m not saying that Mac’s can’t get virus’s.
3. He assumes that I don’t have a Firewall or Internet Security – I used the very trusty Windows Defender (great job defending me there Bill – note the sarcasm. Windows is as good at defending my PC as the US Army is at finding Weapons of Mass Destruction).
4. No I don’t have 4MB of RAM, i have 2GB of which Vista likes to take every byte, for its stupid ‘graphical’ interface!
5. I obviously wrote this on my Mac. If this was written on IE it wouldn’t be here. IE probably would have crashed three times for no reason. (on the point of crashing, what does Microsoft do when you send an error report. Fixing the problem sure isn’t the answer)!
6. He mentions the little tweaks I need to make (most of which I have done). What sort of OS needs so much user interaction to get it to work at a basic level.
7. The most obvious thing is: If i’m such an (quote) ‘asshat’ and the post is so rubbish, why the hell did he write a response, that so obviously took him a while to do?

All I can say in response is:

“If its childish banter you want, bring it on – asshat”
