"And, it's "Schadenfreude", by the way. It means the way we feel about the poor suckers who insist on sticking with Internet Exploder and Outschnook"

I'd be much more worried about the open source nuts, who define themselves by how much anti-Microsoft hate they can generate on any given day.
Now that is what I call really sick.

"So, how do you check whether your current firefox version is update-to-date? "


Never used Firefox in my life.
Never will.
Sorry.
I think you probably directed the question to the wrong guy.

Just couldn't resist getting the Firefox evangelists' backs up.

You can't do it anyway. It was a Firefox fan who posted it originally.

IE DOES own the Internet.

yea Apache is near 70% of the web servers out there and BSD runs the DNS system (hint w/out DNS the internet wont work). So without windows the internet would still exist fine, without BSD we would be using very big host files...

Fact is that the Fortune 500 companies that do use IE do not generally use them in a mission critical fashion. what site do you use for online banking? I use wellsfargo.com, they are solaris/apache. For fun I looked at citibank.com's login site (solaris/apache).

The sites that use windows as a base are usually proxies for back end UNIX servers.

It does.

Read that line again. You are the one receiving the attacks--not IE, not MS.

Ever stop to wonder why?

Microsoft IIS runs more commercial sites than any other web server out there.
That is where the real money is made.

"Fact is that the Fortune 500 companies that do use IE do not generally use them in a mission critical fashion"

They do.
Go to DELL.COM, which does more business online than any other web site on the planet.
What do they use? Microsoft IIS and Windows Servers.

..while Free software runs every site on the planet. No site, commerical or otherwise, would be able to run without it.

Ummm.. read what I wrote again, will you?

I never even mentioned IE in that post.


"Ever stop to wonder why?"

Because open source nuts are even worse than DUmmy nuts?:)

Nah--it's because we require logical thinking in our arguments and opponents. You seem to lack it.

But it is pretty entertaining.

If by free software you mean Microsoft Internet Explorer, then you may have a point there. Because IE is free.
But then of course there are lots of sites that that don't use free software either.

Are you the brother of a moderator? Or are you kin to the people who created this site? Or are you the Father, Son and Holy Ghost?

How you have managed to hang on here without being zapped is beyond me. Oh well, life goes on.

I must say, you and the people you are debating(fighting)with seem to know what's what when it comes to computers.

An open source nut with "logical thinking"?
What is that?
That's an Oxymoron isn't it?
You guys simply don't do logical thinking.

No, that not what I mean. This is a prime example of logical thinking missing in action. I said runs every site--not accesses every site.

Learn to read for comprehension. It may someday reward you with a little respect from others.

Ok, ok.

"I said runs every site--not accesses every site"

BTW, that has nothing to do with "logical thinking".
Its got everything to do with misreading.
