Windows Vista - What a piece of crap

R

Richard Sainz

I spent $2M on a brand new computer with Vista on it and nothing works. I
sent 72 problem reports and e-mails to Microsoft and never got a response. If
you are even thinking of getting Vista-DON'T, you will be wasting your money.
Now I have to spend even more money to get Windows XP which works perfectly
on my old 30 year old computer and a video card so I can download videos to
my new computer.

Yo, Richard...dude...I would love to sell you your next PC. It won't have
that Vista stuff on it...I'll throw in a copy of XP Pro. And for a limited
time I'll sell it to you for the low, low price of $1.5M. Yes, that's
right...a full $500,000 less than you paid for that other pile of junk and
*way* better than that PC you bought in 1977 (which you've managed to mod to
get it to run XP...impressive). So act now...my operator is standing by.

Obviously none of you clowns graduated from high school or have ever worked
in the financial community. The "M" stands for "Thousand" in finance not
"Million".

The computer was 30 years old not the xp operating system. That was put on
when XP first came out. You really are the dumbest bunch of people. lol

Don't know what M stands for. However, please explain how you can get a 30
year old computer (predates the 8086 by several years) to run XP.

I think that it would take at least 2 Million dollars to get a 30 year old
computer to run Windows Vista. I hate to admit it but I had a computer 30
years ago and it wouldn't even run DOS.

Yeah, one could even say the year is MMVII. Don't pay attention to the
MS kiddies whose only purpose here is to make fun of the messenger while

What really happened.......

So you got Windows XP working on your computer dated 1977? Incredible! You
must be some kind of genius to get XP working on an Apple II, or your
Comodore PET, probably under your CP-M emulator !!

I think you need to tone down the drugs in your system. You NEVER had XP
working on your 30 year old computer. What really happened was someone took
a screen shot of XP, printed it out on paper, then taped the page to your
monitor.

HA HA - Drug rehab works wonders. You might even get a dose of reality in
the near future.

You graduated from HS, work in the financial community, and spent $2000 on a
computer that can't run Vista. This explains some things!

You forgot the part about the 30 year old computer that has been running
XP for 20 years!

Wow! Do you realize that the first IBM PC was released in 1981? That means
that our friend has found a way to make Windows run on a Commodore PET,
Apple II or TRS-80. (These were the three "powerhouse" computers released
in 1977, so anything else available would have been of a lesser hardware
specification.)

I don't know about you but I must bow in genuine reverence to anyone who can
accomplish that feat.

Mail me a Check

If you mail me a check for $4.5M, I will put any OS on any PC you wish

Don't guarantee that it will work, but I will put it on for you.

By the way, how is drug rehab going? :)
