SUXX! - On matters pisyushnym situation was with the software. Contacting Liberation Front from Microsoft.

           SUXX!!!


(C) MR.JOHN / JS



            HELLO!


  With you again not bezizvestny
some of the characters Mr.John;)
Now I want to tell you something ... But first remove the
from the screen all the ardent PiSishnikov,
or else what good smash
your monitor to pieces. :) And I want to
I tell you about the "beloved komputore" MS. Or rather not on
himself and his deeds situation was
with pisyushnym software. And then some, when trying to prove 
about superiority of MS over other

platforms (i mean of course AMIGO-rulez!) after they convince 
us that AMIGO on iron PiSyuka no worse (and by

I think better) begin to prove that the software for the PC to
more and is better Amiga (although some of this software is not
seen). I'm not going to treat you right now about what
AMIGA-rulez. I just give
some facts about MS software, I collected and found in some 
publications (PiSishnyh!) and also something of a personal 
experience. 


  Very often pisishniki as "slope" pisishnogo software 
(licensed) lead these arguments: 

1.Nalichie Company documentation
2.Podderzhka firms Developer

  (The firm does not bind brooms:)
3.Vozmozhnost acquisition of an
  Grady and new versions of the prog
  grammes at a discount. (Tom Craft

  "Mahal" in my face a bunch of

  papers on which each

  the space was metochka

  "Small software and hard to me

  stated that he now has

  All licensing and almost

  Bill Gates himself must know

  his face). :)


  Well, it'll start things apart
in fad:



   1.Firmennaya documentation.


  Sure is good to have a whole bunch of beautiful papers and be 
proud of this over all null

this. Indeed, the documentation takes the bulk and
weight in the delivery of software. But whether
She ... The volume of documentation is almost always too large,
more likely it is to raise prices. Naturally this is
more difficult to use
it. Real-life example: A man bought licensed software:
Borland C + + 4.5 CD ("izventilyayus" where where "obshibsya). 
So Now, in a package he had counted more than twenty books to 
one another column, from which practical

significance was not more than five of the
They ... Yes! More software products are usually in their 
composition or electronic documentation, which repeats the same 
paper, but only issued in the form of hypertext. Recently we 
have begun to produce a normal computer literature. And it is 
often written more understandable language and covers the 
subject of much better than the original documentation. So 
bumazhechki applied to the software is only suitable for use in 
toilet ... (Or better to pass it in mukalaturu and the proceeds

money to buy AMIG'u-rulez:)


       2.Podderzhka firm.


  In Russia it is the same
myth as the idea of ​​constructing
Communism ... Easier, faster and
safer to ask for advice from friends or throw in a question for 
FIDO, than to learn something from the company-developer, or 
their affiliates. Send you there is likely to butterflies

Farm to catch ...


   3.Apgreydy and new versions.


  Talking about it is simply not serious. Striving ahead 
konkuretov (rather developers do not care, if only money

users to download) software
firms produce at the market sufficiently tested and debugged 
software (especially those famous for Microsoft and its 
Windows) course seen bloopers at times (with time) are 
eliminated and the corrected version sent promptly 
regestrirovannym nick. But it's there, they ... We live

in Russia, and if you contact someone with the claims, the
the answer might hear: "And you
can also machine for closing
lips ... "


  That's all about these
paragraphs ... Let's go on! Of course someone will object: "But 
at the AMIGO obstayat did things better? "

I think so, but I know
that can offer AMIGO
quality software and for reasonable
money, but on the PC only to
purchase Microsoft BASIC
Professinal Development System
version 7.1 (license) must be
put no less than 570 bucks (and
the fuck me for that kind of money BASIC?? Yes, more so from
Microsoft. I can imagine what
this glitch walking ... Microsoft -
SUXX!!! Better stop, and then
mate will begin to write.)

________________________________

According to the magazine "PC Magazine"
in BASIC works more
users than in all other languages ​​combined.
Even the president of Microsoft (must
die, approx. Mr.John), signing
official documents do not forget to add your title
"BASIC-programmer".

a compilation and Tetris can be
four sidyuka stuff and it is necessary that the memory you had 
not less than 128 megs, and the processor is not

less than 200 MHz! "Window shutters"
probably written in BASIC,
than in C + +:)

      "The new king ...."


  Bill Gates: MS Windows 95 - the most
revolutionary product in the entire
history of the computer industry.
Windows 95 - 32-bit operating system, which allows you to do 
what was previously impossible. Its enhanced

tools include long file names
files, advanced management pamatyu and true multitasking. And 
besides, ... tra-la-la, tra-la-la ... 


  Exclamation used the crowd: But all this
was available for a long time in the operating system OS / 2 
(and saw Do you WorkBench on Amiga? -

prim.Maxwell 'a). A Windows 95 does not
is a full 32-bit system and it has serious
problem when all of the 16 - and 32-bit
programs. And more ...


  Vozmuschenie crowds at exclamation:
Quiet! The king can hear you ...

  ... In Moscow visited President
Microsoft's Bill Gates. On that occasion he asked why
program of his company's so expensive and so badly run
(Especially Windows'95)? Alas, the head of Microsoft not only me
comfort, but even more upset:


  - Firstly, - he said -
Microsoft, not in Russia, telephone "hot line" for advice: give 
money for a box with the program - on your difficulties. As a 
result, many problems that users

blamed on inadequate
program, in fact, stem from their computer literacy (Ish a 
literate turn up ... - Approx. Mr.John).

Run this line in Russia
foreseeable future date Microsoft has not
going to (A FIG! Money itself was evacuated, a villa built, 
it's time and retire! And to round with

that Microsoft ... - Approx.
Mr.John).


  -Secondly, in future the cost of new versions of software
products will grow
their complexity (Aga! Difficulty
Microsoft's prog, like water
in the desert. The more glitches,
the more expensive it is ... Two kilograms of glitches for 200 
bucks!). Well but about the quality of growth, Bill Gates

so do not say. (Today
will go ...).


  I managed to understand in a press conference to
Gates's visit to Russia
was "skim the cream" on the market
corporate clients - signed a treaty with the Central and
Savings Bank (now too-it just
Our "denyuzhku" bye-bye ... Now
when the account will disappear all of your
"Money" around would be to blame
BG and grobanuty "petty
software. "And Boris Grebenshchikov here
to do with it). Now the whole of the small Russian
Mission of Microsoft (1940
people) will be used to
maintenance of these two "honorary" customers. "In an odd" 
probably will satisfy the other users. Quality such services 
can easily imagine present. For example, being two years 
registered user firms Microsoft, I have not received any

news from the company or in writing or by telephone (you need 
them like a fish umbrella) ...

 Conjugate OCVOBOZHDENIYA

          FROM MICROSOFT


  Microsoft has kontroliryet keyword software, Product 
Management prakticheski on each PC, including computers 
Macintosh. Recently I yznal that separation Microsoft, engaged 
in programs for the Macintosh - the seventh sofgaernaya largest 
company in the world.



  Ladies and gentlemen, you can stick to that effect drygogo
opinions, but this situation
reflected on you, and not lychshim way.
Microsoft has become a dangerous monopoly Too bad, than a phone 
spryt AT'T. In addition, with age and

with the growth of its mogyschestva it
becoming more aggressive. Today Microsoft is committed to
to gospodstvy over the entire computer indystriey she 
belligerently and is always ready to go on

Conflicts resolution.


  Microsoft has grown like
Cancer opyholi and dyshit all
vokryg itself. In turn pervyyu
suffer from small independent
firm based talent
programmers do not have any
the slightest chance of realization
their innovative ideas. Krypnye
Computer companies are also
vynyzhdeny obey diktaty
monopolist. Increasingly yzkim
is a choice offered
user apparatyry and programs. This situation serves neither the 
interests of the computer community, or the interests of the 
public. I've always like saying that y

oschestvennyh institytov no morality, y they have interests. 
Keep vidy in what is good for

Microsoft, not necessarily
polzy bring you.


  In contrast rasprostranennomy opinion, Microsoft did not
is a source of advanced
technologies. All of which brought the company slavy software 
prodykty had it at one time or kypleny

stolen! When eventually
Microsoft undertook the modification of
programs, they quickly lost their traits, giving them yspeh and
instead acquired a diffuse interface and sloppy execution.


  <Vklyuchay and pray> (plug-andpray) - corporate approach
Microsoft. As a reward for consumers vynyzhdeny take what they
yield. Look for new versions
Word and Excel. Do not have a word processor and spreadsheet 
zlektronnye take on the hard drive on More than 30 megabytes.



  Obviously, the company that bore those hungry disk
space, it is not yvazhaet their clients. In vidimomy, Microsoft 
sincerely believed himself as the owner of your computers. Sad, 
but y You do not drygogo choice but

as tolerated. I'm sick of the latter-day Big Brother. Yes
tell them someone finally
I do not hochy <Tips of the Day>?
I do not hochy that every time you Set Up a Word or Excel on
My hard drive appeared ODP
mysora OLE. I do not need you in the fact
to spreadsheets reported naskolko still have enough battery in 
my kompyutere. 


  Do not carry nyzhno razdyvshyyusya Windows on a Macintosh. 
And do not I like when it comes to

pokypat Winchester emkosti more if you want to just make
Excel on the machine <Wintel>. I
annoying when the program tells me that I did not smogy <link 
objects>. And I do not nyzhno unilateral compression of the 
data, leave ytility professionals this case.



  <Hippo> - this comparison,
coming to ym, when you see how tearing veins
PowerMacintosh (100 MHz), trying to just zapystit Microsoft's 
prodykty. So why, then I think that this is not slychaynost.



  I suspect that the highest
tehnicheskoe achieve Microsoft
is to make ymenii
Software prodykty run
on PowerMac slower than the
Pentium-machines. Do not have nyzhno
ychenyyu degree to understand
danger created sityatsii.
Developers of software and hardware to create vynyzhdeny 
prodykty adapted to work in the Microsoft.

Microsoft is free to decide whom
dopyskat and whom to remove from
ychastiya in the game. And they polzyyutsya
this right. Their behavior with regard to Apple confirmed -
they are not even granted Apple
beta version of Windows 95 *.


  In sityatsii when the operating
System Microsoft ystanoalena on
Most of the world's PCs,
a serious bug in Windows
or DOS can threaten the country incalculable financial losses. 
So who's to blame the triumph of mediocrity? (The record 
company like Microsoft yzh is not responsible for their own 
yspeha, poskolky never has not been seen in the technical

excellence and innovations). Here
four possible answers:

 a) IBM,
 b) Apple,
 c) The programmers and users,
 d) vce together.


  The correct answer - d. Company
IBM has chydovische. Gates only
replicated disk with recorded
they DOS, and the rest of IBM has made herself. She let the 
name become synonymous with Microsoft IBM and did nothing to

prevent etomy. IBM was unable to
time to understand that the main thing
PC - software and
do not iron. IBM believes that y
It has no worthy rivals.
Everyone called her PC name. And now the real owner of the 
platform Windows / Intel - a company

Microsoft. IBM gave them your
computer.

________________________________


................................


  Apple wine is that it
too long rested on its laurels
technical excellence, while
While it should vigorously
act, attracting developers and users to the platform Macintosh. 
Apple was unable to to form the correct image of their

machine. , 
and other <TehnoPravda> so
has served Macintosh kak product
yzkoy for a niche market. Recently
vedyschy a television broadcast, not a bit flushed
advised the audience not pokypat
By weight, unless they spetsializiryyutsya on computer 
graphics. Apple has provided for This transfer of your computer.

Vedyschy it is not even included.


  Finally, we are guilty (you and
I). It is our duty - to stop
pokypat prodykty Microsoft.
Special cars (per glypost)
zaslyzhivayut wt computer owners who continue to
use the word processor Microsoft Word. There is no
razymnyh reasons justifying
use Word. MacWrite,
WordPerfect, ClarisWorks,
WriteNow - I ypominayu only some fine word processor. Throw MS 
Word. 


  I mogy understand those who work with Excel. He has no 
alternative. But users of Excel sledyet send a letter to the 
company Apple with a reminder that

would be nice to have a choice. Else be the default email 
sledyet send to Microsoft, yvedomiv them that the latest 
version Excel - razdytaya letargicheskaya

program, because you
daily wasting time and
money.


  We should be addressed to the Department of Justice USA 
requirements continue the investigation against Microsoft. In 
accordance the antitrust laws, no company has not drygaya 
zaslyzhivaet be divided into more than Microsoft.



  I appeal to businesses with
request again overestimate the OS / 2
Operating System and Macintosh. You work with
PC  long has finally arrived
time. Many of them ystareli finally arrived and it's time to 
replace. Give Microsoft know that you are able to think 
independently. Version of OS / 2 Warp looks very attractive. 
Computers with PowerPC processor for poslyzhat

You springboard novyyu, mnogoobeschayuschyyu vychislitelnyyu 
arhitektypy. Is related to a sluggish Windows, you are 
depriving yourself Flexibility in bydyschem. Strive to acquire 
your company policy prodykty worked on different

platforms. If the program works tolko with Windows, it's worth
Is it your money?


  I hope you podymaete,
before becoming a client
, When Microsoft will be in the arena of Online Service.
Community Internet, you want to
Do you think that the owner of your
network has become Microsoft? Do
you have to CompuServe, America
Online, GEnie and drygie yshli of
business?


  When Microsoft just make
Windows on the prefix to vashemy
televizory and TV vyrybitsya the most interesting part of your 
favorite program, remember that you predyprezhdali. Microsoft

- A fragment of the era, and IBM today
when IBM poshatnylas came
time ykrotit and Microsoft.


  I sincerely hope that the Ministry of Justice will bring begun
to the end. I hope that
Officials finally poymyt that
sydba very important information
depends on the poorly drawn
programs of one company.
