@JustGoodOldMe no, we need to stop them and Apple or something else will take it's place and the world will be much better off. THe only reason Microsoft Monopoly is allowed to exist is because it's an AMERICAN monopoly, if it was Chinese, or Russian etc, we'd boycott them and overthrow it.
And now its Apple's turn to monopolize on their Mac software not making it available to anyone who havent bought a brand new PC from them, at 3 times normal component price (yes mac is also a pc, whatever apple tells you). Oh, bought your songs from iTunes? Well I hope you got an iPod, or a MAC computer with iTunes, or you wont be playing them. And they make it sound like they are world saviours, and idiots believe them.
Songs bought from iTunes are no longer locked to the iPod or iPhone. They're all DRM free now, you can play them on anything you like.
If anything Microsoft has still got a monopoly with Windows. Can I go into a store and and buy a PC without Windows? No, they all come with Windows. I might not even be interested in Windows. So I wipe out Windows and install an alternative OS.
I've still paid a fee to Microsoft included in the price of the PC, and yet I'm not using their OS.
then you, like an idiot, went to a store and got a package deal. If you know enough to use linux etc then youre smart enough to build youre own computer and choose your OS. And how can you complain about windows following your computer when apple OSX follows every Mac? Windows is available to any computer, Apple OSX is locked up like hell. Microsoft doesent force you to buy their software, Apple does by not allowing you to chose theirs.
I don't want to build my own desktop PC. I want to buy a laptop without Windows. Is this a possibility? Every store around here sells laptops with Windows.
FYI I did buy an Acer netbook last year, this came with XP. Wiped out the XP and installed Ubuntu on it. Everything works, netbook performs better than when it was running Windows.
BTW it's not difficult to install OS X on a PC, Apple just don't like people doing it, IANAL it's not illegal.
it is illegal to install OSX on anything but a mac as they want it restricted to macs only, unless you go for the shit earlier versions. You can crack as much as you want but Id still like the legal version. And yes, you can buy notebooks without windows, you just say 'i dont fucken want windows'.
The EULA says that OS X can only be installed on an Apple labelled computer. It's only a EULA it's not the law.
So it's perfectly legal to install OS X on a Dell or something, provided I go to the Apple store and bought a copy of OS X. In fact I get one of those Apple stickers which come with Ipods and stick it on the Dell and now it's an Apple labelled computer. Can Apple stop me doing this? NO.
'i dont fucken want windows' can't do that with the stores, because Windows is pre-installed.
Then tell them to uninstall it and that you dont want the license! Jesus christ. And yea, you can install OSX on an APPLE LABELLED COMPUTER. Youre not reading what yourself is writing. Good luck trying to install it on a Dell, then call me and tell me how that goes. Jesus....
I've already installed OS X 10.5.5 and 10.5.6 on a Dell XPS and a MSI Wind. On the Dell the card readers didn't work, no big loss, and on the MSI everything works
BTW Psystar has been selling 'Hackintoshes' in the States for a couple of years now, can Apple do anything about it? Not so far they haven't.
Yes you can buy notebooks without windows, it is just you can't if you are one of the millions of people who require software (Photoshop, Games, Dreamweaver, Office, etc) that is only available on Windows because it's market share creates a catch22 situation that means it is not profitable to develop software the remainng 7% of the market.
Microsoft like to keep it secret, but if you reject their licencing terms and write to the vendor of your PC you can get a refund (You get about £70 back in the UK).
I went to newegg and i did a search on "Operating Systems" and they're not selling a single Operating System that's not made by Micro$oft. If that's not a Monopoly, then I don't know what is.
well you have xbox live right and pay subscription annually for around 60 dollars while alternatives like wii and psn are FREE with dedicated servers that are actually worth paying some money for. Also why would you buy Microsoft vista its quite useless and paying $320 for it is really something foolish. If that's not a ripping you off, then I don't know what is.
Have you ever played WII online? Most of the games lag even on a good connection. What theres only 5 games that you can play online with the wii. PSN is the same as the xbox but PSN only has 2 good games. 360 has 22 good games that you can play online that are good. With my shitting internet connection I never lag. Its $50 not $60. U are only playing $.13 a day I get my money worth. WOW is like $15/mo. Vista Ultimate 64-bit is $180. Get your facts straight, and stop being a ps3 fanboy
don't change the subject Microsoft is the evil one so don't steer away the blame they deserve. there the monopoly trying to demolish competition like trying to sue a os that had the name Lindows.
the thing i said was right not you. XBL is $50 WTF. You can buy a game for that much. Also did you know Microsoft makes virtually 99.9% of that money as profit and hat because they haven't got dedicated servers.
And yeha i do know what a monopoly is what Microsoft is doing. I got windows on my computer and that only because my internet connection and preferred apps can only support that os and i think many other people would...
...buy windows for this reason. Also people dont even know the other alternatives.
And PSN has good games to play on-line which can support 60 people on-line can the XBL support that much no I didn't think so because it is cheap even though you pay a great deal of money for it.
lol dumass. The game is supporting the 62 players not PSN. Just because 360 doesnt do it doesn't mean it cant. If u knew anything about game design then you would understand all of this. M$ is losing money even tho they charge. XBL updates there servers 3 times a year, they did it 4 times in 07 and 08. Most company do it 2 times a year and sony does it once a year. M$ has new downloads every week, and they have to pay people to keep every up and running. Of course sony does this 2 not as well.
Microsoft wont and cant you mean because they would have already done it then. Yes they making money because playstation gets updates once in two mouths thats 6 times a year. 6 is more then 3 yeah so dont lie or make your facts solid before bragging. And yes sony does allow downloads too please research before you post.
Many companies like Apple,IBM, Netscape,Oracle, and Silicon Graphics try to resist this monopoly like 10 yrs ago when MS tried to publicise ASF. They all backed mp4 instead.
yes i know all that i have a ps3 u know. I didnt have the room so i didnt say that sony doesnt have downloads. 360 has more downloads then the ps3, it also faster then the ps3. Your wrong 360 has a game that supports 100 players. There was a game in 1997 that supported 160 players. Most games that support 64 players servers usely have about 32 players in a server.
