Dumb.

M$ can't make PCs run and blames their troubles on "third party applications," yet somehow their software is robust enough to be in a car. Not!

Note to Bill: Pull your head out, you're suffocating from your own exhaust. Wait - nevermind, you're the solution to your own problem.

Dumbasses.

Holy cripes. Look at the size of that thing. You can't even see out
the back of that Hummer! I thought this was supposed to fit
under the backseat, not entirely replace it! ; )

Sorry, Bill....

I don't need Windows (or Windoze) in my computers, my cell
phones, my watches, my TV's, my refridgerators, and definitely
not in my car. There are more than enough alternative sources
for the services of interest to have to involve M$. And I feel a lot
more secure when the M$ label isn't on the core products I use.

So if Detroit gets hooked into M$ based electronic systems,
there is only one thing I need,,,,, UNISTALL !!!!!!!!!!!

To all the morons and haters!!!

1. None of the Windows systems proposed have ANYTHING to do with actually running the car. The car will still drive safely.

2. When was the last time you got a blue screen of death??? Are you runnin Win98 or NT??? If you are shame on you. If you're not, I'd like to see what kind of POS computer you're running XP or 2000 on because in the 5 years I've ran 2000 I've never experienced that. In the 3 years I've run XP I've never experienced that.

3. If you'd suggest a Java run system, let me say this, JAVA IS FUGGIN UGLY. OMG have you ever seen good user interfaces built on JAVA......NEVER. If they are pleasant to see, they usually are the most clumsily written apps. Linux, still ugly but getting better.

Bashing MS
by mburson October 24, 2004 7:21 PM PDT
Whether it's this forum or, any of thousands of others, they all have the same group of small minded idiots who presume their thoughts are worth sharing. I've always felt that their shrill words might be made productive by somehow recycling them into toilet paper. You, me, MS, Apple, etc., all share one trait and that is we will make mistakes, unless of course, we sit on our butt and do nothing. The creativity and productivity of Microsoft (and Apple as well) have made a tremendous positive impact on society. They have changed the world for the better. Criticism can be productive but the petty, jealous and small minded tone of so many of the MS detractors is absurd, discouraging and disgusting.

They are clueless, anyway...

What we got here is someone using an OS that isn't really an OS in an H2 which isn't really a Hummer. Further evidence of someone with a lot of money but not a clue as to how to best put it to use.

Stop Being Haters!
by bestman330 January 2, 2005 12:09 PM PST
You Haters trip me out because you all just hate anything & everything that is successfull just because you decided to be one of those sideline doormats watching us creators create & while you pains of the world just hate on everyone just because you don't know how to make anything.

Look if you do not like Microsoft then simply stop crying like a *unk & use some other system, but I love Microsoft-Linux & Mac OS X & I appreciate them all & what they contribute. & I agree with the other pusitive reply guy (or) Gal, you all are probably those people still running windows 95,98 or me & expect the world,look take your cheap AS*es & buy XP & then come tell us about error because I have not gotten a blue screen of death in years,so get with it & get a life & try not to hate so much because all I love is to watch technology comeout no matter who puts it out, I kust love technology & I may be a Tech/Computer geek, but I am a cool one.

Look all you Haters! I am a PC Troubleshooter & my customers come to me with there broken computers all the time & you know what? If just they have read the help files they would not have a broken computer. READ-READ-READ, or do google searches,***NEWS FLASH*** life is not easy-get over it already you cry babies. I get so tired of these people that are technology challenged that are scared of there own shadows, that say computers are so hard, well if you lames just take the time like the rest of us & use your brain & eyes to read a help file aka(Instructions) or to do a google search for what ever problem your having ,then you would probably be allot more content, but you all probably just watch life pass you haters by, well you go ahead & rot while the rest of us enjoy lifes tech world. I have a MS XP Box,Linux Box & a MAC OS X Box & I love them all & they all have pluses & Minuses, but what does'nt in this life, nothing is perfect remember that, that is what makes life so cool rather you no it or not! Lighten up a little bit people.
