Let's see how the ABMers spin this...
NonZealot | 11/24/04

Face it, buddy. There are no "ABMers" here.
Linux_Developer | 11/24/04
|
Oops, you didn't look close enough
NonZealot | 11/24/04
|
|
"ABM"? Just like you're "NBM".
Linux_Developer | 11/24/04
|
|
An NBMers with a Samba server next to him?
NonZealot | 11/25/04
|
|
And yet you still (N)ever (B)lame (M)icrosoft.
Linux_Developer | 11/25/04
|
|
You aren't an ABMer then
NonZealot | 11/26/04
|
|
Of course not. I'm just a common Linux user.
Linux_Developer | 11/27/04
|
|
I'm just a common COMPUTER user
NonZealot | 11/29/04
|
|
We now have Bill_Gates_Is_Satan posting
NonZealot | 11/25/04
|
|
HA! Try calling him an ABMer!
Linux_Developer | 11/25/04
|
|
Did I just get caught by a reverse troll?
NonZealot | 11/26/04

George Mitchell | 11/25/04
|
|
Oops! It was No_Ax's post. He's the one who is off topic.
George Mitchell | 11/25/04

d_jedi | 11/24/04
|
|
I'm just curious. What constitutes an "ABMer"?
Linux_Developer | 11/24/04
|
|
ABM, defined..
d_jedi | 11/25/04
|
|
That works too
NonZealot | 11/25/04
|
|
Where did you find that?
Patrick Jones | 11/25/04

Hmm..

AmusedAtItAll | 11/26/04

Agreed. But that wasn't quite my point.
Linux_Developer | 11/27/04

|
Quite easy to define what an ABMer is
John Zern | 11/28/04

Click-throughs, perhaps...
Martin Marvinski | 11/28/04

Why bother there are better alternatives...
LazLong | 11/24/04
|
|
What would Really be good is if they offer a refund!!
LazLong | 11/24/04
|
|
that will never happen
JasonL31 | 11/25/04
|
|
Why should they?
George Mitchell | 11/25/04
|
|
What fraud?....other than the one MS has perpetrated
LazLong | 11/26/04

|
No conspiracy
rapson | 11/26/04

ms forcing OEMs to sell windows is wrong
JasonL31 | 11/27/04
|
|
Again several points.....
LazLong | 11/27/04
|
|
Um, get the refund from the person that sold it.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 11/27/04
|
|
Who's responsibility would that be, Retailer, OEM, MS?
LazLong | 11/27/04

Actually, four parties
AbsolutelyNot | 11/26/04

True, but I wouldn't consider that a "party".
