one more reason microsoft sucks

i never used an apple computer for more than word processing and i never used a linux computer at all... the only computer os i've used other than microsoft windows is atari and commodore and both were better than windows, but that was the 80s... so i have no idea if mac or linux is really better, faster, less problem prone, less vulnerable, and so on the way most people who use it and most experts out there say... but i am sure, after using every windows operating system for more than twenty years that microsoft sucks...

the biggest reason for the suckage at the most influential corporation in the world is the obnoxious refusal of microsoft to simplify it's os so it will run faster and require less system resources... the more memory and power and speed computer manufacturers build into systems, the more microsoft sucks them dry and makes the hardware seem inadequate... it makes no sense, except from the perspective of profit margin and maintaining a microsoft monopoly, which just makes microsoft suck all the more...

the latest reason for microsoft sucking is the ruining of the netbook... there are almost as many refurbished netbooks available for purchase as there are new netbooks... the main reason is that microsoft prevents the netbook from performing well enough for seasoned computer users to want to keep them... those who keep them a more likely opposed to returning anything or new computer users or people who use the netbook minimally, if at all... simply, microsoft is no longer supporting windows xp and yet, it is the only microsoft os that can work decently (not well) on a netbook because a netbook does not have enough memory or speed to run the vista or windows 7 os... the final suckage is that microsoft lies and continues to take the stand that windows 7 can run on a netbook... even the stripped down and relatively useless windows 7 starter edition (most windows 7 features are disabled, so why bother?) runs slower on a netbook in every test than windows xp...

why am i ranting?... simple... i want a netbook... i want an ultra-light portable computer that is bigger than a palm pilot... the netbook, at under 3 pounds (sometimes 2 pounds) is the ideal carry around computer for me and yet, every time i psyche myself up to buy one i go to the store and play with several for half an hour, an hour even, and i come away without buying one because the microsoft windows operating system (yes, even xp) sucks... and they want to charge more for xp even though they are no longer supporting the product... can any other manufacturer get away with that?...

would you pay more for a car that you can no longer get parts for, not to mention that it crashes randomly and breaks your other stuff?... would you pay more for a discontinued model of a television that only gets three stations and randomly shuts down in the middle of a program?... how about a refrigerator?.. would you pay more for a discontinued model that randomly stops working, spoiling your food?... yet how many of us pay for this microsoft product that routinely crashes, spoils files and and fun and work, and is simply, regularly, unreliable... and we ignore the routine frustration, stress, anger, and spoilage... we accept the unreliability, like a bicycle that regularly throws us to the ground, if only emotionally and mentally injuring us, and we just climb back on and continue trying to ride...

maybe it's time to realize the microsoft bicycle has square wheels...
