I'd sure like to know what kind of business (if any) you claim to
running cause statements like the above display a total absence of any
business acumen at all. Zip, nada, tepeltal,
enginting...nothing...zero...totally baseless...I find it hard that
anyone in any successful business would believe such a naive statement.
I can only conclude that you made that statement before and now you own
it and don't have the balls to ever admit you're wrong.
What loser you are.

PLEASE!!! Do me ONE big favor!!!

Do *not* call the atrocity by the name of "Visual Basic" a programming
language!!! It's a disaster at best...designed essentially for the
hobbyist "programmer" crowd. I mean Visual Basic .Net has a friggin "My"
namespace for crying out loud!!

Sorry but you may not like it but it still is a programming language.

Doesn't change the fact that it is still a very popular programming
language.

He can't do that because they'll spot he knows
as little about Linux as he does about Vista.

Visual Basic is widely used by many of largest "blue chip"
ie. FTSE100 companies in the UK.

You had the only one in the country? Yea, right. You went to each and
every home to ask? Don't think so. I'll bet it was probably running some
flavor of Linux or Ubuntu

Get a life and a dose of reality.

Three clueless statements. VB is probably the most used language in the
world. I've used it daily for the last 12 years. Linux is still going
nowhere after 10 years, and Vista in 6 months has already sold more than
Mac OS X has sold in 6 years.

Why don't you just admit you are in over your head in this area?

Um, Ubuntu didn't exist in 84 and the Mac hadn't arrived to Venezuela
yet so there was no need to ask anyone.

Keep telling yourself that. The Ubuntu forums are full of newbies who
are ditching Vista. I have convinced many Windows users to switch and I
know for a fact that you have not convinced one single Linux user to
switch. The fact that you and others react so violently to Linux only
underscores the success it's having.

I go to various Ubuntu groups and web sites daily and I have received
expert and useful help. Most of the time I spend in those groups is
lurking and reading. That said, when I've been able to help, I have.

Your lame attempt at changing the subject by shooting the messenger is
noted. It's a common tactic on the part of Windows fanboys like you.

Thanks for proving this point:


What really gets to the Vista fanboys is they *know* they will get
_nowhere_ extolling Vista in a Linux forum and the also *know* that
Vista is irritating users BIG TIME and the time is ripe for Linux. This
explains the vile and puerile posts by those Vista Wintards that have
their buttons pushed with the mere mention of Linux. For crying out
loud, sometimes I think Frank is going to have a stroke and I worry
about him!
