I think WindowsXP looks lame

When Win95 came out me and my bro used to go into computer stores and hide all the boxes for win95 and put OS/2 in it's place. LOL

Man, I loved Warp.

 

But it was so amazing to sit there and watch IBM miss the deal of the century, when Win95 missed it's release date by a big margin, and IBM had a golden window of opportunity to really push the ad campaign for Warp 3.0, which was out the door it seems like a good six months prior to Win95. People were tired of waiting for Win95, and here was Warp, ready to be installed. So what did IBM do? Ran an ad campaign featuring cute Italian nuns and no clue whatsoever what the product was they were trying to sell.

 

That's at least the third great opportunity missed by IBM's underestimation of Bill Gates' ability to maneuver: The belief that personal computers would be a niche market at best; allowing Microsoft to keep ownership of DOS; and pushawing Gate's design ideas for OS/2 (coded by Microsoft), which did in fact become Windows.

 

At the same time, they spent millions on obscure advertising; laid off thousand of productive workers while keeping an extremely topheavy management; and paying unGawdly amounts in salary and bonuses to top-level chiefs including the CEO (who had the stupidity to treat Gates as 'one of the little guys').

 

Damn, SHS, Joker, now you got me going again.

This is just funny now. Nice little hehe. I try to act like a human and you take it as me backing down. You really are 12 and, if you teach I feel sorry for the students and the biased opinion they get from someone like you. It's no wonder most of the kids that come out of school nowadays, have been brainwashed by someone they believe has real knowledge. Oh ya and I taught as well so there goes your 1337 status, to be honest you sound like the a$$hole I used to work with. So I'll be leaving now thanks for your useless FAQ, and your biased opinions. I'll make sure I don't recommend this site to any of my colleagues.


-----edit-----

You can begin to call me a 'lamer' again as I wont be here to defend myself.
