The Support Group for People Used by Microsoft

Membership

Contents
Requirements
Just about everyone is eligible for joining the Support Group.

Benefits
What benefits do you get from joining the Support Group? Well, not much, really.

Application
Fill out a short form to become a member.

Current Members
A list of people used by Microsoft along with their comments.

Join the Support Group
Have you been used by Microsoft? Do you want to vent your frustrations to the world? Do you want to help put an end to Microsoft's dominance? Do you need support to help achieve a Microsoft-free existence?

Join the Support Group for People Used by Microsoft.

Requirements

The requirements for joining are pretty straightforward:

  1. You must have used a Microsoft product sometime in the past. This requirement should be no problem for just about everyone on the planet.
  2. A Microsoft program must have crashed your system at lease once in the past. If you meet the first requirement, this one should be automatic.
  3. You can not be an employee of Microsoft. Former, disgruntled employees, however, are welcome.
  4. You must not own Microsoft stock. (If you own a mutual fund that happens to invest in Microsoft, don't worry about it.)
  5. You must not maintain a webpage with "Enhanced for Microsoft Internet Explorer" on it.

What are the benefits of membership?

  1. Good karma.
  2. If you choose, you can have your name, homepage, and comments shown below.
  3. Support in following the 12 Step Program.
  4. Bragging rights. "I'm a member of the Support Group for People Used by Microsoft and you're not!"

Alright, it's not much. The Support Group is really just a website, so "membership" is pretty meaningless. You get your name listed below (or you can be anonymous) and that's about it. Sorry, but there's no newsletters, fancy member ID cards, discounts on non-Microsoft software (that would be nice, though!), etc.

Application for Membership

If you meet the requirements, then fill out this form to become an official Support Group member.

Name: (don't hit return)
(You don't have to use your real name)

Email address:
(Email address not required. But what good is a support group if nobody can contact you?)

If you have a homepage or Anti-MS page, enter the URL here:

Do you want to remain anonymous?

Select which operating systems or platforms you currently use:

Which web browser(s) do you use?

How many times has a Microsoft program crashed in the last week?

Enter any other comments you may have:
(these will be published along with your name unless you say otherwise)

If for some strange reason this form doesn't work, then you can apply for membership by emailing me.

Current Members

These are all of the current Support Group members (except those who wanted to remain anonymous). A total of over 340 Microsoft discontents are members of the Support Group.

Comments: "My pet peeves, after 30+ years in computing, are that our technology is still widely misunderstood and hoi polli's expectations are often unrealistic.

I find that most of all my resources are tring to make Windoz 9X and client 32 work properly with its own Office 97. I seldom have any problems with Warp(client) and Novell(server)."

Comments: I never understood how truly terrible Microsoft was until I took Computers at skule. There, we are forced to use Windows '95 (which is FAR worse than Windows 3.something-or-other which we use at home) and the teacher drilled us on what to do WHEN the "blue screen" appears. Does anyone else see something wrong with that picture?"

Comments: "This site is cute, but it is time to stop being cute. Microsoft purveys an inferior operating system, and the computing world must get serious about switching to commercial alternatives. Today Bill Gates dominates through default of his competition. Cleverness and fun are all fine, but what we need is real help. Where is the page that lists the applications that can run under OS2/Warp? Where is the page that lists X-Windows compatible word processors? Where is the list of URLs for companies developing Unix based applications to compete with MS junk. These links would be useful and go far toward combatting Gates's monopoly. Folks, this is guerilla warfare and it is time to use real ammo."

They are poorly written slow uselss pieces of junk, why do people gamble their company on such rubbish? And the worst part is, we are all forced in some way to follow this trend, Unreal currently is getting voted to be ported to Linux. Why can't they just think ahead and release one for Linux and forget Windows? I am sure alot of gamers would give up Windows and go straight to the Unix/BSD scene, and notice the difference. I vent my anger at Microsoft with pride and wish to see this parasite fall down and be crushed by all computer users, keep the software FREE!!"

I'm not using my real sign-ons, due to a number of past confrontations with U staff that are dependent on micro-scum(sic) related funds and training to keep their 'jobs' and who believe that they 'own' the state resources they administer, for us 'taxpayers' (i.e. 'serfs')."

All of them have a BUGGY version of Word 97 (the File menu appears about NINE times in the menu bar). And all of them always have some FAILURE in their hard disks, so they must always run the damned SCANDISK utility at startup. I WONDER if they wouldn't have so much TROUBLES if they used Macs, just like ME?"

  2. I constantly lose important data because MS programs crash and thereby corrupt my files
  3. The file system sucks (does anyone know a solution for a non-dos bootable partition?)
  4. If I could get my hands on another OS which could run MS application *error free*, I would very much like that

I tried the installation CD, and, of course, it didn't work: the explorer got stuck complaining about some files ... The guy at the shop, of course couldn't tell me how to solve the problem, and the only thing he actually did is he copied the damn OS from some other disk. In Romania, it's just fair to call the company: 'MICRO S-O F...' (which means MICRO F... HER). Pity too many programmers are caught by Bill for his company."

And after they have that program running I find that the configuration changes that were made screw up other programs in my computer so I have to call them back. It's a vicious circle! I can't believe that they continue to sell high volumes of product which doesn't work well. What other company in the world doesn't have to replace it's faulty products, but rather comes out with upgrades that are supposed to "take care of the glitches found in the previous version" at the expense of the consumers! And we feel compelled to buy them in hopes to SAVE FACE over our initial investments (large ones) in their products. I COULD GO ON FOREVER!!!"

Give you the option to chose another operating system you'll be forced to chose another software developer. Bill Gates and Microsoft has commited crimes against society. Courts can't too much touch him. We must take it upon ourselves to make sure he pay for his crimes or be subject to all the hell that comes with not giving enough of a damn to get up off of our asses and do something about it.

All this from a company with bottomless pockets, an unlimited R&D budget and the ability to hire the brightest and best for any amount of money, yet they still can't deliver an OS that you plug things into and have them work, (I didn't say detect I said *work*).

My only computer is a Mac, but because of a greater amount of software for Windoze I finally bought Virtual PC. I got it second-hand, so Billyboy doesn't get my money. I don't know anyone who loves Mac as much as I do. I try to make all school projects advertise Apple. If Bill Gates died and Mac was dominant again, the world would be much better.

As of now I am trying to find a good and cheap/free version of Linux w/GUI. I would really appreciate help on finding one. Does anyone know where I can easily download Linux Mandrake for free?"

Comments: "I am being used by Microsoft.
I feel better admitting that now.

Actually, I've known for some time the garbage that is Windoze. I have been using Macs for ten years, but over the past five our school district has been eliminating all Macs from its computer labs and classrooms, switching to peecees running a combination of Win95 and WinNT Terminal Server. The f&*^! things crash so often, it's not even funny. I've even lost count of how many times our WinNT server has been "shut down for maintenance."

I work with our school's yearbook which is, of course, forced to use the same PCs (pieces of crap) as the rest of the school. It is amazing how many times we have lost data or had machines (not just one or two machines, mind you, but HALF OF OUR LAB at times) not working! Our district IS staff are so overworked that, once during the year, I had to take almost an entire day to set up one of our graphics workstations from scratch when it started making trouble. Not only did I have to miss most of the day's classes but, according to union rules, both my teacher and I could have been in serious trouble! (Fortunately, I think the union gives some leeway in these matters, with the IS staff being so overworked with the problems of Murkysoft WindBlows.)

And now, I understand, our school's IS manager is worried about Y2K. Well, he should be! As far as M$ is concerned, you want compliance, upgrade to Win2K (which may not even be OUT until first quarter 2000!) I doubt if the school district can even AFFORD it! I'm not worried: I got an iMac in January 1999 (the first Mac that I ever owned for myself) and have never looked back. Cheers!

Long Live the Mac!

GORDOOM

p.s. Does anyone have a copy of PageMaker/Illustrator/Photoshop that I could borrow, so I can wean myself totally off of Windows? Right now, yearbook work is the only thing I do on Windows, and I want to stop! (Hey, it's a *support* group, isn't it?)

(fyi: At home, I use an iMac running Mac OS 8.6, which rarely crashes or makes trouble. I want to set up a dual-boot with LinuxPPC someday, to play around a bit with it. At school, I am forced to use Intel-based PCs running Windows 95 on a Windows NT server. We also have several Internet terminals running Windows NT Terminal Server. All of these machines use Netscape Communicator 4.6. (I am amazed Micro$oft hasn't revoked the school's licenses for doing so!))"

I must use Billy Gates products because all of the computer labs at school that I have access to use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. Within the past year I have used Microsoft Office enough that I could either praise or downplay the product, whichever that I may choose. Unlike most consumers who use Microsoft products, I have a good understanding about Monopolistic Markets because Economics is one of my main studies in school. I have used Microsoft Products enough and seen how Microsoft decided to charge higher prices than was needed. I work at an industrial business that has to meet stringent quality control standards for its customers because there is proven technological standards in the field, something that the software industry has not yet faced. All I have to say is that what Bill Gates is doing now is exactly what Steve Jobs was trying to do almost twenty years ago, and look were Apple is now."

This is what running Win 9x for 2 1/2 years can do to you! Drive you nuts! How dare these p! eople push this crap on me without telling me! If they would have told me it was bad and warned me, that would be one thing but they lied! I'm furious! I'm sorry fpr this tirade but running M$ products is very stressful...and I did some reading on the Net and found out how much the media lied about M$.

I went back to OS/2 and LINUX where I have been computing lo these many years, happy and content and untroubled by the military (General P. Fault). I have had four non-hardware OS/2 failures in 9 years and after four years LINUX has yet to fail (though I did get X to crash once after loading every possible loadable module in FVWM - I gather you're not supposed to do that). I compute on secure in the knowledge that LINUX will achieve World Domination, and OS/2 will still be driving OS/390 console and message systems long after parents are taking their kids to museums to show them what the dreaded (and now extinct) windoz looked like."

My company thought they were doing me a favor and bought me a shiny new PC w/ Windows 98 and MSOffice. I still do all my graphing, data capture, and number crunching on my portable and very carefully transfer files via disk. My laptop has 1 'rebuild desktop' per week (too much PC exposure), but no crashes in the last 3 months. My brand new Pentium III crashes ~ twice daily, and sometimes forgets it has a netcard installed. Nightly, I use my computer at home just to calm myself and to reinforce the fact that all computer systems are not bad, just the ones that have the taint of Bill Gates. I am upgrading my home desktop to a G3 or iMac in the next few months, and will be sure to give (YES GIVE) my older system to some poor bastard in school fighting a PC. I will never succumb to Bill Gates's technological cul-de-sac. I sometimes save 8 or 10 hours of work so that I can do it in two hours at home. I have never had a virus (knock serious wood) on my Mac, and have had only positive experiences with simple things like memory upgrades, installing new printers or partitioning a hard drive. PC users cannot say that. I've used UNIX in school, but haven't had the opportunity to try Linux. But I'm all for an open system that eats away at Microsoft's endeavors in any way. Save yourselves, buy a Mac, even an old Mac. PS. Does anyone actually know why Windows 98 is better than 95? Oh, and the default settings that reoccur after every Win98 crash are only slightly more annoying than the stupid paperclip helper. "
