What ever happened to computers ?
neo_x500:
What happens when we DON'T agree with the terms of use when we plug our boxes in for the first time. Anyway we could get microsoft to refund our purchase?? We need an oem that has the balls to put linux on their boxes and say NO to the "tip" from microsoft to install windows. Those bastards are going to buy everybody out.

Hey, I thought you kicked ass in the Matrix Reloaded by the way. Here's hoping you figure out a way to stop humanity being destroyed in the next movie.
Good luck.

Next you're going to say I'm part man and part Mac?

Many PC gamers don't think this way. Alot if it has to do with not trusting consoles, being brought up on PCs, and feeling you get alot of advantages with PCs over consoles. There is also a "just because it's what I've chosen" factor too. You do get alot of advantages with PCs over consoles, but you also get alot of disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage of them all is Microsoft, who has turned a valid and interesting gaming rivalry into a losing battle for the PC(well not to the consumer, they don't know what is going on).

What happened to computers was people. There weren't a whole slew of script kiddies and what not writing code in the mid 80's. Most people had yet to hear of the net, or even touch a computer.

It was the people to some extent. BUT, it was Microsoft that made far too many of the wrong people show up.
Script kiddies don't write code.
So it was a combination of the wrong people, plus Microsoft's OSes in general.

Oh and we don't have "superfast computers." My University has superfast computers, compared to them desktops suck. And what runs these computers? Certainly not Windows! In fact their latest Beowulf cluster runs Linux.
And Fett how could he call security? It's not like informing people is a crime no matter how much some people want it to be. (Unless you live in China or North Korea etcetera...) And why would I want a job ripping the customer off? That's just not right.
