Massive generalisation, many people here are also it's strongest critics as they use it, rather than simply 'bashing' it.
Um, turkeyboy (or whatever), who you're defending said it ran flawlessly, I disputed that claim, take it up with him, not me.
Maybe you should actually read what I wrote. I didn't dispute or say otherwise in regards to the above statement, I mentioned an instance with a Linux distro my friend is using.
Good for you, relevance to your argument = 0 though. If you're having issues, which you admit you are, then it isn't flawless, as you are defending, despite arguing no OS is flawless. For goodness sake, pick a side to argue for and stick to it.
Um, I didn't ever suggest that I agreed with the OP or that the OP was right. Learn to read. I disputed the accuracy of his (turkeywhatever) statement. I don't actually agree with the OP's sentiment at all based on what little they have actually contributed to the argument of W7 being a complete failure, nor did I ever allude to agreeing.
So basically, get off that high horse of yours and read before you reply.
First of all, I did completely read your post.
I agree that being a critic is different than bashing it. What the OP is doing is completely bashing it, which is useless to everyone, and therefore, this whole thread should be deleted. turkeymaster was simply saying that he has not encountered a problem yet. You took his words and turned it around to saying that there are absolutely no problems with Windows 7. Of course, this is not true, and that is not what turkeymaster meant. He simply meant that he has not encountered any problems so far with the Beta.
Also, the thing about Linux never having to restart. What relevance does it have to this thread if you didn't want me to talk about it. You suggest that a flawless OS is one that never needs restarting. Well... all OS's need restarting at some point. I sometimes have to restart OSX because I cannot get my dock to work at all. Window's sometimes needs restarting for updates. When I used to run Linux, I would have to restart because it wouldn't let me open anything.
Apparently this argument doesn't have two sides. The OP's argument is that Windows 7 is 'Owned,' meaning that Windows 7 is a useless POS that no one should ever use. Others are saying that Windows 7 has produced no problems for them. My side is that Windows 7 is not perfect, but is certainly a good upgrade from XP or Vista. I have encountered some problems, but that is to be expected from a beta. The OP suggests that this is the real retail product being released today that has a problem with one program, and therefore is useless.
I believe turkeymaster could have used different terminology to make it less confusing to those that read word-for-word and use the basic definition of each word as a basis for their statement. He meant he has had no flaws in operation since he has used it. This can be true.
I'm not bashing you Theophany, I'm just pointing that your original post to turkeymaster's post is unjustified. turkeymaster said "im using windows 7 and it works flawlessly." From this, I read, "I, turkeymaster, have not had any problems with Windows 7 yet."
