Reply to Apple: Preemptive whining in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Im bogged down with forum posts on another site from rabid Mac fans not excepting that New Intel Macs use run-of-the-mill Intel chipsets. It's kinda sad that a company with such style and quality has to dip to mud throwing. Between widgets & time machine Apple sticks to its religious zealots to keep re-writing history in their favour

Reply to Is WGA the kiss of death? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

update manually , pick custom and simply untick the wga tool if youre worried(this works in the UK not sure about the States). If it returns a false poistive just phone MS and get them to sort it, if they can't phone dell ,you paid for windows in the sale price.

Reply to EU knocks Microsoft for $357 million in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Bear in mind Bebi that was a reply to a particularly crass comment by dug_98304 and not a general dig at all my american cousins. As if the EU shouldn't fine Microsoft because the US "saved our asses in WW2" I didn't realise that Microsoft has ran the USA since 1939. If any US citizen doesn't think that the EU has been repaying war time depts to the US for the last 60 years with interest they don't have a very good grasp on politics or economics.

I didnt mention "the EU saving your asses" And my Grandfather and both his brothers died at D-day so no american troops "saved their asses" eh? and quite what that has to do with an EU fine against Microsoft I'll never know 1. 1939 November 4 - In the USA, Congress amends the 1937 Neutrality Act to permit European states to buy American arms for cash if they provide the transport. 2. 1940 September 3 -

Reply to EU - tough on software companies, weak on terrorist states.. in Microsoft WinCustomize Forums

I take it that comments like "Europe is being weak on terrorist states" that the implication here is that the EU doesnt go to war over intelligence that is later proved to be wrong or have any WMD's been found ? Bear in mind all you US nuts the UK invaded Afganistan and Iraq with you and all of us in the UK are members of the EU too.........

I'm amazed at the fan boy element here, I like microsoft software and happliy defend Windows XP to customers everyday but when it comes to business practice I don't think anyone can defend them just ask BlueMountain, Sun, IBM and Netscape to name but a few.

Well Dug you should check your history books the US stayed out of WW2 and happily sold weapons,ships and planes to both sides(Allied and Nazi). Sold weapons for cash, gold and most of the British, French and Dutch global strategic military bases, so where did all that cash that rebuilt Europe come from ?? and you seem to be forgeting all the US military bases all over Europe for the last 60 years. Its a typical uninformed american opinion (we saved your asses in WW2) and funnily enough it has no

Reply to How do I get visitors to my website? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I'd say the word you're looking for is PROMOTION ! promote your web site and they will come. Stickers, bumper stickers, t-shirts (all printable cheaply with an inkjet and the right paper). Search engines need huge amounts of money thrown at them to help start local and let word of mouth start you, forwarded emails also another way but they can also foster bad feeling. In the case of your website I'd say adding some interesting content would certainly help and fonts that are kinder on

Surely the whole point of this discussion is that before Mac went Intel inside you could spend twice as much on a mac and be happy that you had a unique (and as Steve Jobs always said before "better")architecture (IBM G5 people! Motorola G4 is like P3 speed) However now that Steve and boys are shouting about how much better Intel's chips are (completely the opposite of what they were saying 12 months ago) you can now say HEY! that £1800 macbookpro

Whats with all the corporate whores ?? You're supposed to show alternative skinning options it's good business practice ! No business should be afraid of competition and the fact that Stardock are always happy to show us alternatives on a web site they run shows you why many of us will always support Stardock.
