Thought this was rather funny

That has been an all to common site for many Windows users... I wish there was a better alternative for gamers that Microsofts cruddy operating systems.

Interestingly 'nuff, IE7 had fun with that page; it blocked a popup and blocked part of the content; the part that was probably funny.

I havent bothered getting pr0n-viewer/FF on this new Vista install yet; IE7 actually contents me (but I'm not dumb/brave enough to test it with questionable sites, either). Plus, IE7 is just plain purdy in Aero.

But hey, Windows ain't bad considering what it does. 'nix and Windows, yin and yang, coke and pepsi. Linux one day I think will be a lot more of a competitor for the desktop market, but they got some learnin' still yet to do.

Internet Explorer is blocking parts of that video? Sounds like a conspiracy considering the clip shows a moment that was bad for Microsoft. Have you considered switching to Firefox?

Oh... Not many people know this but around the time the first Windows came out IBM came out with an operating system called OS2 Warp. To give you an idea in the power gap between the two, out of all the operating systems that Microsoft produced the first one to come close to OS2's power, stability, and capability was XP. If I remember right a lot of large banks, ATMs, cash registers, and the like still operate on OS2.

Unfortunately IBM prefered businesses as customers over the general public so it got passed up by Windows in market penetration pretty fast.
