-i want a GUI
-notepad is good for text editing, or Microsoft word.
-what if i don't want to hose a server?
-file management in windows is fine for what i want
-i don't use IRC
-why would you even want the command line for web browsing? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me
-i like the menus, they work don't they?
-why can't you just use the find in windows?
-whoa! Colours! I’m so sorry
-yes but edit is a better name than vim
-no I’ve never seen it, nor do i want to
-that file linking sounds good
-copy is supposed to copy! I usually copy to make a backup or whatever; i don't want both to change! That’s absolutely stupid
-but i don't want to do it in bash! I don't want bash!
-service pack 2 allows you to choose a non default web browser etc
-those programs sound/look dodgy, I’ve seen gaim and it's completely inferior to msn messenger
-POLLUTED by icons??? No i want it to be polluted, i love it polluted, and if I wanted eye candy I’d open a picture, or get a screensaver
-change your background picture then
-whoa! Default! (sarcastic)
-how can you even compare win 95 to xp pro?
-ohh gosh! Of course i have to use Linux now! Those popup will surly be the end of me. But the first popup is to introduce new users t the system, and you can disable hiding inactive icons
-the registry works doesn't it? and if you're not using a firewall you deserve to get spyware, don't give me that, spyware isn't a problem, just don't download shifty programs and use a good firewall like zonealarm pro.
-well i don't know what else to say, just use a firewall, and you'll be ok, so long as you aren't promiscuous you don't need a virus scanner.
but hey whatever, i like windows, but I’ve got no objection to you using Linux, it's just beginning to give me a headache whenever you talk about it or something relating to it.
Also firefox is close to be being uninstalled and I’m considering going back it internet explorer, and now without multiple monitor support it's verging on the limits of my patience.

don't misunderstand, i typed all that (except the colour bit!) with a smile on my face, i'm not angry or anything, i'm just providing an argument for windows [img]smile.gif[/img]
