FOUR new reasons why I am switching to Fedora Code Linux from October - December 2004.

Do your part: apply direct pressure to the gouge to reduce excessive internal bleeding.

I did my part.

I have already 50% moved over to Linux. I am still having trouble finding a program like photoshop but that should change soon. When I am in WinXP I use Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird anyway...IE is blocked by my firewall, WMP is blocked by my firewall, Outlook is blocked...suckers!

I'll give em hell if they think they can push me around to upgrade. Why the heck should I upgrade if I dont want to - they sold me a product and they bloody well support it - its not like Win2K was free (I have XP but thats another issue

)

I think MS (just as Sony did) is shooting itself with a gun stuck up the back door

I hope they go down in a BIG way. Then hardware manufacturers will have no choice but to make their designs also open - this will only allow widespread compatibility and they will not have to pay MS to register their drivers (WHQL crap!

)

Oh I hate these bastards so much
