"And I see the same issues on Windows 7 machines all the time."

No you don't. Now off you go little troll ...

"Outting the operations of the NSA against other nations, which is legal AND THEIR JOB"

If it was all on the up and up, they wouldn't care if it was leaked. I hate to break it to you, but the NSA was not just "doing their job" overseas. This explains why you mistakenly think he is a traitor though; you have no idea what you are talking about.

Not always.

I'm a US Citizen. I can assure you that Snowden did the exact opposite of acting as a traitor. I'm assuming you are also a US Citizen. You, however, have shown yourself incapable of determining the difference between treason and patriotism.

Bullshit. I have worked on countless XP machines when the very kind of people we are talking about bring them to me because they are slow as shit. I hear the same story over and over. We re-install XP every six months to a year. If we don't it slows to a crawl over time. XP Doesn't "just work" and it certainly doesn't work better than a real/contemporary OS.

" If you're going to go all paranoid delusional on me ..."

You could get away with saying that in 2012. Alas, it is 2014, and not considering the very distinct possibility that they are lying is the insanity in 2014.

I'll add that to the clearly growing list of things about which you are clueless.

You're assuming he's referring to an actual human being; for his purposes the useage was correct ;-)

What does that have to do with software written by Microsoft?

Which doesn't change a thing.

"This is about software not wearing out. If the hardware breaks then buy a new PC with new software. Until that happens, the software will continue to do the same job it did when it was installed, as well as when it was installed."

I can only assume you have never used a Microsoft product.

FreeDOS is a bit for bit copy of DOS 6.11? I didn't know that!

Are you trying to sound stupid?
