I have a healthy respect for people who do not use the same software

i did NOT disrespect you. i do say that majority of Windows users do
not possess any Common-Sense when it comes to even understanding how
to use an OS effectively according to one's daily needs.

[/OT]

Tell you what. You go ahead and insult the majority of computer users.
While you are busy insulting them, I'll sell them software.

We shall see how you measure success.

Oh, and those products that are not "technically good..." run on about
90%
of all personal computers worldwide.

99% of Indians also say that "General Dwyer", killed thousands of men,
women and children in Jaliawala Bagh" in Amritsar, India.

do you believe them ?

um... yes. General Dwyer admitted doing it. They pulled bodies out of the
well, for goodness sake. It was mass murder.



95% of Indians and at least 70% of this world believe in ghosts and
most of these people have seen ghosts.

do you believe them ?

I have no reason not to.

But
I don't believe in technical purity for its own sake. BTW: IMHO: Apple
is
better at brand development than Microsoft is.

[OT]
i do not agree with that. Even if today, Microsoft launches
Motorcycles with "leak-able petrol tanks" and "worn-out spark-plugs",
Microsoft will sell them.

that is not a result of branding. You clearly have no understanding of how
marketing works. Not that I'm surprised.



The only word in brackets is the name of my employer. Do you believe
that
it is not inflammatory to refer to my employer as a "devil" when you have
demonstrated, proudly, a lack of knowledge or understanding of what it
means
to work there? This is another example of intentionally casting insults.
There is no room for this kind of name-calling in a civilized
conversation.

[OT]

i do not want to work for Bill Gates like i do not want to work for SS

Your comparison is unwarranted, inflammatory, and foolish.

[1]

yes, you are right. i am not impressed with your employer's business
practices, for he is obstructing human-development with his business
practices, not sure for what reason.

I disagree. He is far better than most other businessmen, and his business
practices do not harm common men and women(although many would say that
Microsoft has harmed other corporations... they are still paying for that).
So what does Mr. Gates do with all that money? Expensive vacations?
Extravagant birthday parties? No. He tries to vaccinate children, and
educate poor people, and fund the construction of basic educational
infrastructure. I guess that means he's obstructing human development in
your eyes. I wonder what you say about other high-tech business leaders,
most of whom do none of those things.

[/OT]

This is the last I will say on the topic of your clear and demonstrable
prejudice against one of the leading software and programming tools
companies.

[OT]
what you *think* or *see* as prejudice, is simply Common-Sense, what
90% of this world never understands. i have a simple philosophy:
"Observe the masses and think the opposite".

You must think that the world is flat. After all, the masses believe it is
round.

Choosing the opposite of popular thinking is not wisdom.
It demonstrates the same lack of thoughtfulness as simply agreeing with the
masses.



People still think we Indians, ourselves, with our own effort, removed
the British Rule from India.

The Indians had some help from the Brits themselves, but for the most part,
those people are right... the Indians did remove British rule from India.

i do not agree with such lies. among
those, who speak *that* truth, are those who throw Acids on girl's
faces just because they wear Jeans.

Odd comparison. You don't spend much time actually thinking, do you? I can
see why your grades were so poor and why you consider "hacking" to be an art
form.



Have you ever tried to think what SS and Jaliawala Bagh and high-tech
India have in common with ghosts and Jeans

they are twisted together in a mass conspiracy in your deranged mind?

....think hard,

............after some days, try my BLOG

I did. David Koresh used to write like you do. So did Jim Jones.
