1. Comment - AOL Marshals Troops Against MS XP Offensive

   (May 8, 2001 - 7:33 AM)

   It's always amazing how bold people are when they're not face to face... especially that know-it-all windbag who loves to listen to himself talk.
   You know, the one who's favorite line is "you sir are an idiot"...
   Everyone has an opinion, whether it's liked or not. There's nothing at all idiotic about taking an active part and voicing your opinion about what's important to you.
   
   Anyhow... I've got a few opinions/comments of my own:
   
   Everyone is complaining about corporations and their business tactics. One of those tactics being control of people and forcing them to use their product or whatever...
   all businesses do it in one way or another. It's just that some are better and bolder at it... in this case it's AOL & MS.
   We complain about such practices, but give in to them all the time.
   It's everywhere.
   We were all forced to give out specific demographic information about ourselves [bogus or not] just to be able to post opinions onthis very site we're on.
   No one HAD TO... unless they wanted speak their mind. No big deal... most of us probably didn't think much of it.
   It's a type/level of force that's become normal. A practice that's become accepted.
   
   Control is used in some form by ALL corporations.
   
   It's still simple... we all still have plenty of choices.
   
   I didn't want to, I wouldn't have given information to come here and post a comment.
   The same holds true for what run on my PC... if it doesn't suit my needs or I don't like it, I don't put it on my computer.
   
   I didn't like Windows [any version]- so I don't use it. I didn't say I hate Microsoft... just don't like Windows.
   
   Didn't care for the Mac OS- don't use it.
   
   I don't use AOL because I worked for the bas****s and know how their dirty little minds work. Yes, they have lots of nasty tactics...
   but aside from that I just don't like their product... so I don't use it.
   
   As with anything, there are plenty of choices, and believe it or not, always will be.
   
   If people cop out and don't bother to educate themselves to the choices out here... then I'm sorry, but they get what they get... and that's exactly why the giants continue to grow.
