Good heavens - if you had any intelligence at all, you wouldn't need to ask
that question!
Anybody with an I.Q. in double digits ought to be *very* afraid of Microsoft
- an American corporation, with immense political power, with a great deal
of influence over the most powerful country in the world, hellbent on
destroying all opposition - and that's just for starters!
Silly question.
Now tell me, why are you so afraid of Roy?

As I said, thank you for confirming your identity.
Now please can you stop blowing smoke and answer the question - Why are you

China is the most powerful country in the world!
Keep your money presses "rolling", grufftard, not long from now the US will
be in Chinese hands, to do with it whatever pleases them!
bbgruff
Tut tut tut.....
No need for all that, and actually, whether or not I have any idea who you
are is not relevant to the question.
Do please stop blowing smoke.
Just tell me, *Why* are you so afraid of Roy?
bbgruff
Perhaps so, and perhaps not.
Either way, we can perhaps agree that we have cause, or possibly will have
cause, to be afraid of China.
I find this all a little baffling though.
Our friend here is obviously afraid of Roy. Am I to understand that you
think that he thinks that Roy is as powerful as Microsoft, or China?
Surely not?
So why is he so afraid of Roy, I wonder?

Look fuckchop you seem to be quite dim because you haven't figured out that
I'm not going to boost your ego by playing your silly games. And I'm not your
friend so please stop your fantasies. Now run along like a good little boy
and go play with some intellectual property. What a fucktard!
bbgruff
You seem to be getting very upset and abusive for some reason.
What on Earth is your problem?
I'm merely asking you a very simple and straightforward question.
There is really no need to get so upset.
Do please stop blowing smoke.
All I want to know is *Why* are you so afraid of Roy?

Have you had your head buried in the sand the last decade or so? Have
you completely missed out on, oh, the whole Netscape fiasco? The SCO-vs-
Linux users bit, you know, the one largely funded by MS? MS's abuse of
patents to threaten and decimate? The endless court decisions against
them for what amounts to predatory behaviour? Their "deals" offered to
OEMs, deals which amount to "do as we say or go bankrupt"? Their
willingness to gut their prices at the drop of a hat, if it means
infiltrating a market segment they don't own - despite keeping prices
insanely high in other areas? Their campaigns of FUD against Linux,
OpenOffice and others? Their thinly-veiled attempts to kill off or
cripple, among others, Lotus 1-2-3 and DR DOS?
None of which would matter if they were doing it by producing better
products at comparable prices, or comparable products at better prices -
that is to say, competing. Instead they prefer to offer worse products
at higher prices, then use predatory tactics to either intimidate or
control the end user or the vendor, or, more generally, both.
Why are we frightened by MS? Because they're simply evil. Not just
"this is business", we don't give a damn if they want to charge for
something and make a profit, that's fine.
As to being afraid of Windows, I can give you one example from personal
experience which should be more than enough to give one pause.
We have a client, who, in turn, has umpteen "sub clients". Essentially,
we provide the main client with bandwidth and suchlike, which is divvied
up between 100-odd users.
Most of these users consume a fairly reasonable amount of bandwidth, but
every so often, one will spike. Usually this means he's fired up a
torrent or some such, no big deal.
On the other hand, it's not always a torrent. Sometimes, the traffic
starts with the one, spreads to another, then another, and soon enough 50
or more of them are hammering out the bandwidth.
Yes, you got it - they've been hit by malware. Malware which is making
use of the fact they have extremely high throughput.
So, no worries, just block the affected users, right? Nope, can't do
it. The client requires the users have functional connections - so we
can't kill 'em. Trying to rate limit them just ends up slowing their
legitimate traffic so much they may as well not have a connection.
Net result? 50 or more users with infected machines, merrily stomping
across the internet, doing whatever damages to everyone in their path...
and racking up bills of hundreds per month for a service they expect to
pay $10 or so a month for. Which means angry customers, angry clients,
and in most cases, us eating the loss on the bandwidth costs.
Since we're contractually obligated to provide a connection, we can't
just drop a bomb on them. We can't - certainly not the first time, at
least - say "look, you used the traffic, you pay for it", because most of
them _didn't_ use the traffic, not for anything the user was doing.
If Windows weren't built like a bank vault made from tissue paper, this
wouldn't happen. However, it is, meaning that thanks to Windows, our
users, our support staff, our accountants, and however many hapless
victims being attacked by these malware-ridden monsters are all unhappy.
My recommendation is simple and straightforward, and punishes the guilty:
every cent of damages or other costs which result from the piss-poor
design of Windows should be billed back to Microsoft. With worldwide
estimates from malware alone running to billions every year, maybe, just
maybe, these twits would get off their arses and fix the stupid OS.
Until then, however, users - all users, everywhere, even of non-Windows
OSen - must live in fear of Windows, for nobody knows when the next wave
of Windows-borne destruction will launch itself across the 'net, wreaking
havoc, overloading servers, crippling finance or worse, sucking up
resources and costing all of us who have to pay to clean up the mess.
Except, of course, the ones responsible; they just sell the OS and rake
in the billions. Let someone else carry the costs of the damages done.

There is no question that Roy is a polarizing individual. Most
people would take that as a bad trait, and I can understand that.
However, one has to appreciate the fact that Roy stands by his
convictions. Whether you agree with him or not, you will not get a
wishy washy answer from Roy because he has done the research and
his beliefs are his own and are sincere.
This does not mean that Roy is not willing to listen to other
sides of the debate, although I suspect people may think this is
truth.
I give you his most recent webcast where he has Thistle web as a
guest.
TW is an aggressive Linuxmint supporter and as we all know
Linuxmint includes a lot of proprietary software, mostly Codecs
and such.
Roy is very courteous, polite and engaging when it comes to TW and
his beliefs which clearly contradict Roy's POV.
The question gets asked, sell me on Linuxmint over Ubuntu and TW
does a wonderful job of doing such.
Great question BTW!
For those who hate Roy I suggest you listen to this episode to
understand what Roy is about.
Perfect?
Nope.
But willing to learn and certainly willing to see another POV when
it is backed up by reasonable facts.
I don't agree with all that Roy says, but I admire him for
sticking to what he believes in and for backing it up with what he
sees as truths.

That is total nonsense. He almost NEVER does any research and his
opinions are ALWAYS those of a pig ignorant hack who will do anything to
put his views across at the expense of those he dislikes.

He is NOT willing to do that.

He doesn't.
