Ask ms about getting over the "activation" & "genuine windows" ***....
the point is the "quality" of ms official support & honesty.
You are obviously a paid micro$ shill as you believe m$ is god
& cannot do anything wrong. Very typical of the ms attitude
& mentality.

Let me get this straight, you bollixed up your partitions 15 years ago,.
and STILL haven't gotten over it!?!?!?!?!? Actually you are the one that
has a problem with grammar, and it sounds like your co-worker apparently
couldn't find a menu selection if his life depended on it. This smells
like a troll rant to me, "losted" indeed!

ms word has a bad problem with grammar. One of my professors told the
class that she should go on the "warpath" & mark an "F" for the paper
for the errror in basic grammar. She was stopped only because a student
told her that it is word & one could not change it to be correct as
word will override & impose the bad grammatical error. The professor
said she learned to turn off word's grammar & spell checking.
A former co-worker once asked how he can stop word from putting
mis-spelling on his report as word won't allow any changes to correct
ms crap.
For the os, when ms was officially "supporting" their products on both
compuserve & genie in the early 1990's, I had a problem with drive
letters on both my home & work computers; they were running os/2 & nt.
Everything was working until the computers were booted up one day;
it wasn't either a virus or trojan. ms claimed that my partition
setup was wrong & sent a "white paper" showing how I should partition
the drive; I replied on compuserve that the doc shows exactly how
my drive partition were done. NO MORE replies from m$. Shortly ms
announced they wer abandoning support on compuserve & genie & do
their "support" on the usenet/internet newsgroups.
A "mvp" claimed that the newsgroups were always done by "volunteers";
I don't think many of them were ever involved with ms on either genie
or compuserve to know any better.
Regarding the drive letter errors, a long(?) time later, I got an email
from the people who do the ms backup software at that time; don't
remember the name as they have changed it but still in the ms
os releases. The email doc show how they encountered & found that the
problem was install process whereby the drive had to load into a dos
partition then reformat/reconfure into fat32 or ntfs (more likely fat32).
I tried to keep the doc, but it got "losted" during one of the ms
os crashes.......
Regarding the ms word, a couple of years ago, someone in alt.usage.english
said that there was a website that had listings of grammar & spelling
problems with word; I never checked as have decided to stay with
wordperfect mainly for the "reveal codes" where I am able to "fix" things,
hopefully.

Name one. There are some bugs; most every program of significant size has
them. However MS fixes theirs instead of blaming others. Did you ever write
an error free program?

Wed at the hips----------???? Supposing you wrote the OS. How would you
control it and/or keep your customers happy. Many companies write
programs
to run with XP (the OS) and when a problem occurs, MS is immediately
blamed. Be objective.

Look closely at all the postings in this group. You'll be
amazed that most problems are not caused by MS but by Non MS
programs, reg cleaners, and virus detect/scan protection?
programs.
That may well be true, but the major developers are wed at the hips
body and soul to the God of Microsoft because they must play ball
or risk losing their certification. But, it is certainly true that
reg cleaners in the hands of the novices will wreck an otherwise
good system and are more harm than good most of the time.
