You don't like Windows, so go for what you want, the rest of us will use windows without some smarty pants trying to confuse the innocent.

You're worse than margeretR and her stupid panic mongering ideas!

I am having a 'dig' so perhaps you should get used to it as well? we share the same freedoms, you call windows I call your attitude to the fact that others want to use windows.

Why not start a Linux appreciation Society then those that want to use it and praise that system can?

Oh, I forgot, you had a site like that for a couple of months, the novelty ran out and it now sits there neglected and full of spam. (Tsk', how could spammers beat such a secure site?).

You have a look through and tell me where I said you had a dig?

I think you are wonderful for wanting to help people with windows, however I think you are annoying when you can't volunteer such help without plugging an operating system that isn't as useful to the 'ordinary', P.C. user as you claim, all you manage to do is confuse the already confused, unlike you or I, most people don't want to go to geeksville to collect their emails and chat, they don't want a degree in I'm a clever little soul because I don't follow the main stream, they just want to use what they are used to with assistance when needed, not to be told every time it is volunteered, (not asked for), that they are stupid not to upgrade to your obsession.

whatever a site created back in teh mists of time has to do with this other than you trying yet again to somehow attack me passes me by but if you search that deep and dark place you call your mind you will recall that the software running that site can't have the password reset and as it was forgotten there is no way back in, I emailed the owner of the sites who you and I both know who that is and I was told it couldn't be recovered, yes its a shame but life moves on there are bigger and better things for me to worry about than that and if that is all you can come up with against me then I think I'm doing alright.

Yes we know the owner, but surely the Administrative password & the security of a site are the responsibility of the Administrator?
If the password for a 'we think linux is wonderful site', is lost it doesn't say much for any other security criticism's about windows security does it?

As for knocking Windows I will continue to offer an alternative, as the point of this thread was that even Microsoft themselves felt a need for a FIX IT piece of software then it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in their product

I have no problem with you offering an alternative to windows, I admire you for the fact that you are bothered about windows and it's problems, but if you want to talk about linux, why not start a thread about linux?

Don't just pretend to help with a windows problem as an excuse to get on your soap box to praise a still relatively obscure and difficult operating system for the man in the street to use.

If folk wanted linux they would ask for it, they do want to use windows though and when they ask for help, they don't want to be left feeling they are dummies because they are using the system of choice for casual users.

WikiAnswers - What percentage of computer users use windows mac etc operating systems

The above link claims that only 1% of P.C.'s use linux, this may be a shame, but not using linux doesn't make people stupid because they go for the ease of using the convenience of windows.
