i feel sorry for people who actually do this,

and even sorryr (word??) for the people who get in big trouble for it, cause they are so dumb that they didn't know they were doing anything wrong.

I had a friend in college, kept on scolding windows for not running any 3D games, was having S3 virge, oldest 3D accelerators.

Dumbbbbbbb

I was a bit liek that at college, well too busy having as much sex as possible to really get to rips with 3D gaming :D

I put Win Xp on my sisiters PC few months before it was launched anywhere. She phoned me a few days later telling me it can't be win XP, because the helpline for broadband said its not released yet.

Argh, they did give us manual setting to set it up after that......

I wouldn't mind but she has a degree in computer science, god knows what they teach em....

What really amazes me is how everyone automatically asumes this person is a noob or whatever you call a 'new' person, anyhow, who said he wasn't doing this to see how stupid Microsoft representatives are? He could have done it purposely as a joke. Sheesh.

It was you wasnt it!! :yes: :rofl:

a mate of mine rang MS about windows XP when he had the leaked version before XP was even released, but the woman on the end of the line still heped him out with it...now that is even dumber IMHO

Not really - it is possible (from Microsoft's viewpoint) that he obtained it through a legal channel, eg MSDN, beta tester, volume licensing, etc.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By sphbecker · Posted

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
