Re: Forget the OS: Mac, Linux, Windows, ?,,, It's the Desktop Search stupid!

Wow. Reread his post again.

With all of the grammar and spelling mistakes, the post makes absolutely no sense. The paragraphs have nothing to do with one another...

Uhh, would you care to rewrite it?

Narue, you're a cruel and harsh person. How dare you suggest that it takes him practice to be dumb?!! He obviously possesses this natural ability of being dumb, as demonstrated in these threads:

For the average user, yes. Most people want an OS that "just works"
Not just the average user. As a poweruser too I don't want the OS to get in my way.
I do want the ability to tweak and tune it, but I want it to get out my hair so I can get on with the business of doing my thing.

So it should be transparent unless and until I decide I want to see what it's doing, it shouldn't force me (like Linux does way too much) to care about every nitty gritty detail of its operation almost all the time.

So you don't mind if I replace your OS with one that I choose as long as you can install a glorified video search tool?

Forget the OS: Mac, Linux, Windows, ?,,, It's the Desktop Search stupid!

The next most important apps are: (2) My Video Camera Software & My VB5.0 Search compiler,
(3) Net Browser, (4) Paint & NotePad, (5) Operating Systems, (6) PrintKey 2000, (7) games,,,
-----------------

Individual preferences may change the above order. The OS will seldom be in #1st place.

With a good backup of their data and this Search; even the most non-technical user
can be in complete control of their PC data. Just like I am.

The entry level computer users, will have better access to their Video, Music, Pictures
and Text, than the Know-It-Alls, at this MicroSoft Web-Site:

http://channel9.msdn.com/showuserthr...x?userid=31672

With this Search and a few short video demos. You'll be well on your way to carefree
fun with your computer.

Those Operating Systems; can do This and That and a lot lot more obscure functions,
that are only of interest, to the Geekiest. For Me: I want to know as little as is
humanly possible, about the OS.

Small wonder these OS Giants; love the never-ending drivel on the Net, about which OS
is Best. (Mac vs Windows), (Linux vs Windows), (Mac vs Linux) .... When in reality;
they are ALL quite insignificant. Buy buy the latest and greatest OS.

SELL your Operating System Company shares FAST!

This Spectate Swamp Search is THE program, that all of Us can make good use of.

Translation:

Forget your OS's, the desktop search (which surely requires an OS?) *presumably is the most important*.
The next most important apps are:
(2) My Video Camera Software & My VB5.0 Search compiler
(3) Net Browser
(4) Paint & NotePad
(5) Operating Systems
(6) PrintKey 2000
(7) games (Specific eh?)

Individual preferences may change the above order. The OS will seldom be in #1st place. (Well without it, you won't get to far in that list). Operating Systems can do this and that and a lot lot more obscure functions that may only be of interest to the geekiest . For Me: I want to know as little as is humanly possible about the OS.

Small wonder these OS Giants love the never-ending drivel on the Net, about which OS is best. (Mac vs Windows), (Linux vs Windows), (Mac vs Linux) .... When in reality they are ALL quite insignificant. Buy buy the latest and greatest OS. (advertise the OS after trashing it?) SELL your Operating System Company shares FAST! (after being told to by an OS???)

This Spectate Swamp Search is THE program, that all of us can make good use of. With a good backup of their data and this search, even the most non-technical user can be in complete control of their PC data. Just like I am. (possibly, but i'm not clicking it)

http://www.topshareware.com/Spectate...load-42932.htm

With this search and a few short video demos to help you start. You'll be well on your way to carefree fun with your computer. (carefree fun? Whatever next!)

The average user will have better access to their documents than a person who is computer literate, by using this MicroSoft Web-Site:

hope that helps, at least in organisation. btw i do not endorse anything i typed above, other than my bracket comments

Re: Forget the OS: Mac, Linux, Windows, ?,,, It's the Desktop Search stupid!

haha.. nice translation..

All I have to say is, closed-source OS manufacturers will be around for a long time.. as long as there are newbie tech people who want nothing to do with computers except performing simple, trivial tasks with as little effort as possible, linux will NOT take over. And btw, Microsoft's stock is not falling anytime soon.. and Apple's will not stop rising for a while (As much as I hate to say it).
