How to really make an iMac PERFECT!
I admit it, the iMac is one impressive piece of hardware!
Why the heck HP, Dell, Compac, Leveno, Matel, Sony.... can't make a computer this sleek, beautiful and powerful is beyond me.
HOWEVER, as nice as this computer seems to be it has one huuugggeee flaw, THE SOFTWARE! These things come with some lame Vista rip-off OS installed! This is simply unacceptable.
MY ANSWER!
Wipe the harddrive and install Vista Ultimate, this thing should really purr with a bonafied MS OS installed! Imagine how well this thing would run Publisher, Paint, Access, the clock, Fax Viewer or Command Prompt! I felt so strongly about this that I called Jobs (the real one) himself and told him that Apple should abandon all of this "X" and "i" stuff and just make hardware like the other regular computer companies, let Microsoft worry about software, the developement savings would be tremendous!
My answer was about 30 seconds of silence (bad iPhone connection), then he said, "uh, well, ummm thanks for the suggestion Mr Ballmer, I'll take it under advisement and give it all due consideration".

You know, Jobs may not be as dumb as I thought.

Holy cow, "the clock"! I forgot all about "the clock"!!

does this not count as spam yet??

congrats on the elusive 100th post that spam bots often miss out on Mr. Ballmer.

and while there was some advice in there (good or not), you missed out the bit where you can already install Vista if you want...

oh, and could you explain to me exactly what the Vista Ultimate version has over the next best version?? isnt it just the Vista Ultimate programmes?? the hidden ones which arent actually any use?

I just don't see this as spam, to me it is satire. Why else would he tout "Publisher, Paint, Access, the clock, Fax Viewer or Command Prompt!" over any of the advanced features of Vista? The programs he mentioned purposefully pale to the goodies that ship with a Mac. If you visit his site, he is lampooning MS as much as not. The pictures that he selects of Steve Ballmer are the least flattering available and often cruelly funny. Maybe I'm just easy to amuse.

[QuantaCat]

No, it's pretty funny.

And Ultimate just has everything. Whatever that is.


Just for giggles, is it even possible to make a mac HD entirely NTFS/FAT32? Only with Leopard, I guess, if you boot from the CD, but I don't know if it is a program that is bootable from CD?

[teflon]

i dunno, I think it was satire the first time, but its the same litany every time and it just doesnt really change. Hes been saying the same things over and over and hes probably now rather red in the face with all the effort (and on the verge of starting a chant of "Vi! STA! VI! STA! VI! STA!!!"). Not to mention that theres a new thread created practically twice a week...

i could always just start ignoring these threads that he creates.

I like em. they're entertaining

[The Liberator]

Well, to tell you the truth: I think...

...There goes FSB again, on one of his crazy lampoons. In the second latest lampoon (on the Zune) I just replied with some sort of silly answer to his post. So in conclusion, I think that the threads and posts are kind of funny and entertaining, but also a bit repetitive and just silly.

I am basically half/half, (but not necessarily neutral) in this whole affair.

[Steve Ballmer]

Listen up you freak'n loser itards!

I am not Steve Ballmer pretending not to be me! So just cut out all of this crap and whining!
I have enough people trying to psychoanalyse me all over the internet everyday without having to read any opinions from a bunch of Mac-losers with massive inferority complexes!
You people should be honored to have me even post one syllable here! So just sit back, read, and be educated for once in your trailer dwelling lives!
My opinion is the only one that really matters here, because I can buy you all and your dopey little "forum" here!
For some reason you people amuse me (for now).
So enjoy it while you can and LEARN!

One question: Why are you bothering? Just go onto some sort of Valve, or general gaming, trolling forum, you'll be right at home.

You need to fix up on your grammar.

Liberator.

P.S. This was a humorous post, just to clarify.

I don't know, looks to me like the Ballster is pretty busy with the ladies:

Definately thumbs up!

On a related notice, I have a hunch that Steve B. here, is actually TBCs *other* account... *Hmmm* There are certain similarities.. Swearing, cursing, throwing chairs/BOBs, the use of extreme powers, etc. etc.

[the Battle Cat]

My *other* account is in the Nurse Nasty Role Playing forum.

[Thain Esh Kelch]

Does one need to have administrator access to see that one?

[the Battle Cat]

No, just a cover for your keyboard.
