Supreme Cmdr Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Pretty interesting read. First time I've even heard of it. Thank God, at least I know I'm not that old.

Marvin Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Can you imagine a world where Gates' OS is used in automobiles, cell phones, and microwave ovens? Forget the crashes. What about the constant defragging? Could your cell phone catch a virus if you were called by a hacker? A nightmare. But some people's nightmare is probably Bill Gates' dream.

Even if it was used I beleive that most devices would receieve a rudimentary version and would probly not be very similar to the Windows we all know and hate.
Guest Grayfox Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 the last thing i want to see is the blue screen of death when im microwaving my frozen bean and cheese burrito. "a fatal exception has occured in microwave 92783645241. press any key to continue or ctrl alt del to restart your computer" the last thing they want to get between is me and my burritos... on topic that was a very interesting read.
Hades Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 It's all a conspiracy. Bill Gates wants your cheese and beans burritos. Did anyone else see Robin Williams: Live on Broadway? He did this really hilarious bit on Bill Gates and Microsoft, but I can't remember all of it.

Hahahah, they probably have been using it that's why the last few mars probes crashed. BSOD!!! Blue screen of death not enough time for a reboot while on decent to mars....

Kevin Trotter Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 I sleep better knowing that the U.S govt. labeled TRON an unfair advantage and protects me from the clutches of free software and makes the world safe the Silicon Pirate to assrape us for two hundred bucks to get a new buggy version of Windows every few years. Capitalism triumphs again!

It's not bad enough that politicians suck up to Bill Gates and let him monopolize the commercial computer industry. Now they give him control of military applications too? And his influence is expanding even further? All this just for a buck? Must be ... there really isn't any other excuse. And what's next, Mister Gates? NORAD maybe ... where the BSOD materializes thanks to a memory overload as 600 ICBMs launched from ... ahhh, who knows? The computer crashed before we could find out.
