i am officially strike

I am taking a Break from Beta Testing Windows Vista right now in order to Beta Test IE 7 Beta 2 on Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 R2, and Windows XP X64 Edition right now. I will resume my Windows Vista Beta Testing just as soon as a New Build is Released to MSDN Subscriber's (something newer than Build 5308 CTP).

Limux is a hobby that quickly turns into a thankless job. Chang I see

you're an MS (not M$!) hating Limux zealot. This ng is not for you. Frank

I have No Plans on Violating my MSDN Master End User Licence Agreement, just FYI.
P.S. You will have to pay MSDN $800.00 to $1000.00 in order to Beta Test Windows Vista, because I ain't giving you Jack ****, also just FYI.
P.P.S. I still have plans on Beta Testing Windows Vista (just as soon as the Next Build comes out to MSDN Subscriber's), also just FYI.

Have you ever thought about beta testing some common sense?

That was a quick strike. Was hoping for longer. :P

Please do an Alt + Enter on my message, and you will notice that I am still on Strike (I am currently using Outlook Express 6.00.3790.2663, in other words, I am currently running Windows XP X64 Edition with IE 7 Beta 2 installed).

Better yet, do a Ctrl+A then Delete. Much better results! Frank

Limux is a hobby that quickly turns into a thankless job.

I would agree with that. I've toyed around with Linux, but i see the real market strength within MS. Even though Linux/mySQL etc is picking up, MS is really bolting forward. If i had my way Id rather work on Solaris, but there are more jobs prospects in MS products.

Not exactly a zealot. WinXP's multilingual support deserves some praise. Linux is long way from WinXP in that aspect.
But for other stuffs, I wouldn't bet on your confidence.

If I knew Linux the way like you knew your M$ tools, I would have called you a M$ Zealot. I am *not* yet a linux expert. You should challenge linux people of your size. :)

No one cares if you criticize the product, that's what this ng is about.

But slamming the company MS in such a childish trash dot sort of way (M$) is not acceptable in this MS ng. Stop it or else go somewhere else, like back to trash dot. Frank

So why does referring to M$ like this bother you?

I forgot that Window$ has a lot of good games, too. Hence another term I picked up: WinTendo.
