hello! God Bless you Tristan.. I guess you’re too carried away coz Microsoft Certified you! MS!!? The company “that gave you the modern computer and the Internet”!!
Give me a break.. First go and find out what all in Windows is true innovation and not stolen from somewhere else.. (by the M$ definition of stealing software, of course) Wish you all the best.. If you do your homework well, i think you’re going to be deeply disappointed.

where would the world have been without M$..?
may be in a much better position as far as computing is concerned.
cheers!

P.S. I particularly liked the point that you installed Bonsai Buddy… lmfao thats excellent.

Much as we OSS folks like to think MS people are completely technically ignorant, let’s look at this. Let’s even assume that Tristan is ignorant, just as we assume that Borat (played by a somewhat religious Jew) is really anti-semitic. Tristan tries to find a copy of Linux in 2006. He finds RH 3. Where? He would have either used google or perhaps a computer store, and neither one would have RH 3 available. I believe that 5.x was from the later 1990’s, though I’m too lazy to check.

I suspect the BSD is a part of Linux and comes on tapes was simply added sarcasm. However, we’ll let that one pass–to an MS-centric person, they might think BSD is another type of Linux.

The first really obvious clue–Bonzi Buddy and Comet Cursor. The guy says that he was an admin. No admin wants Bonzi Buddy. Even the most clueless users, back in the Win9x days call the admin to say, “My friend sent me this really cute thing, but it’s becoming a pain–how do I take it off?”

If he couldn’t make it any more obvious, he mentions DRM. (Blaring horns and Monty Python Spanish Inquisition Voice)

NOBODY likes DRM. Even on a patriotic site, DRM is a perfect example of how a few people in power manage to bribe or otherwise coerce people in power to subject the average citizen to something which benefits no one but a few people who already have more money than they can spend. Basically against all the principles of the US. How the heck the RIAA has managed to get away with it so long is a mystery, though there are indications that the tide is changing.

So, for those who read this article,I think we can be pretty certain that it is satire. As for Tristan, if you see this comment, as Ali G would say, “Respect.” I think the man is brilliant. And like the humor of Ali G’s creator, the most interesting part is seeing how many people don’t see the joke.

I recommend you look on YouTube for the terms XGL, AIGLX and/or Beryl. You will definately be impressed by what you see. I’m not entirely sure if Windows’ graphics layer is capable enough to run this sort of thing (Vista would probably require a 9GHz Pentium 7 to successfully come close).

I am seriously looking forward to switching to Linux and dual-booting between Linux, XP, Win98 and Vista when required. My current XP system on my 2GHz P4/512MB system runs so slowly that someone once said that it was more like a 500Mhz P3/128MB! Often, there are so little resources available that programs (such as the taskbar and desktop) simply crash! And I have no viruses!

I must admit, though, Windows 95b would be the best version of Windows ever released. On my several-years-old 656MHz laptop it opens Explorer windows faster than I can blink my eye, Web browsing is great, and I have over 200 programs installed on the system. However, any PC with a “Designed for Windows XP” logo on it will not work with Windows 95, so 98 would have to be substituted, and you’ll have to forget that there are USB ports on the computer you install on because Win95 is more or less unreliable with USB.
