First off, why are you at Chuck E. Cheese?[/quote]
My Dad's co-worker's kid had a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. To get me out of the house, my dad forced me to go or no PC for the entire summer.

Please Bacon, even if Linux usage has been going "way-up" in use, it's never going to make a dent in pure Windows dominance.

That's what people have been saying about Apple for 20 years. It won't happen, to either of them.

Multi-touch screens that detect what's on them were invented a few years ago. In fact, I'm sure someone posted a video of such a device right here on this very forum a while back.
Ya...Its old technology...this thing has been in development for 5 years, using the technoology when it came out...OMG coz its old its therefore gay? Excuse them for trying to make it mainstream for big businesses and eventually consumers.

I'd rant more, but then I'd be turning into the kinds of people I hate. The ones that go around ranting about Microsoft or apple or whatever the F*%k else and looking like a idiot while saying it...For example basing the crappy reports around the internet about windows and MS and all that as fact...

Microsoft is just trying to make money off of someone else's ideas. That's all this is.

And wow, that is unheard of in the business industry...With like, only one company allowed to use their own technology developed solely by themselves and noone else can ever try and use it...If we were to go by your rule with only one's own ideas, we'd be nowhere at all. And everyone sueing everyone over how an idea is similar to their own. and of course, we wouldnt be able to IMPROVE upon similar technology...WHICH IS WHAT THIS FREAKIN' THING IS DOING! It is improving upon other technology and ideas and implementing their own! Sure its similar, but still improving

"Oooh omg apple is liek copying motorola and nokia's ideas by developing a phone! OMG WHAT A FUCKING COPY! AND THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF IT! THEY ARE THE DEVIL! oooh mazda build cars like ford do! THEY ARE TYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF FORD's IDEASZ! I nearly passt tha 3rd grade of school, because all kind things considered to be normal thoughts don't happen in mai brainsz!"

Obviously that is not allowed by your standards, ideas have to be completly new and not based upon something else for a company to make money off them...Or is it just microsoft considering you have what appears to be a bias against them...And bias against things really make claims more true than they are... Because I love the xbox 360, and if anyone tries to tell me otherwise they are completley wrong....GG

I agree completely...what I don't agree with is anti-competitive stuff though, like Internet Explorer having been integrated into the whole fucking OS (which I don't remember if that's still true in Vista), and having no way to remove it.

Yes.. it says market share...which means it shows the percentage of computers with those respective operating systems installed...what is the problem?

It came from Wikipedia, sure, you can say Wikipedia can easily be flawed, but those numbers are on numerous other sites, Wikipedia just had it organized in a nice table.
