Membership
|
|
The requirements for joining are pretty straightforward:
What are the benefits of membership?
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.
If you meet the requirements, then fill out this form to become an official Support Group member.
If for some strange reason this form doesn't work, then you can apply for membership by emailing me.
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.

Neither are their anti-competitive big bully tactics."

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?"

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."

"I spend most of my time trying to get my Microsoft products to perform
correctly. I have long distance bills of major proportions from spending so
much time talking to thier tech support ( their help programs and manuals are
only self serving brag pages of what the product can do, very little info on
how). 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

"Don't just read my message. Do something for the cause. Tell the
companies you have brought software from.(say games) And tell them that you love
their products but hates the operating system that is required to run their
product. 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. For the cause."

"Why do people love the Mac so? It works. Plug it in, it works. Add a
hard drive, it works. Add a Zip drive, it works. Add a scanner, it works. Set up
a network, plug it in, it works. All since 1984. That is something to this day,
Microsoft has yet to get right, and in all likelihood never will. 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*). They *still* can't even get HotMail to run on NT servers, is
this a huge clue for People?"
