A Hurrah for Microsoft!

[Scorpiоn]

How's about a round for Microsoft?  Microsoft lovers are far and few inbetween, but I am a proud Microsoft lover.  Everything from Windows Media to Flight Simulator.

And for all you boycotters, I refuse to use Apple!  Ha! I only have Quicktime installed because for some crazy reason people actually use the .mov format.  I wish I could nuke iTunes out of the installation process.

PS: Have never slandered Microsoft with the dollar sign, and never plan to do so!

einTunes = Love.

I am a DJ, and as far as personal listening, to doing gigs iTunes is by far my #1 choice. Its just an amazing media player.

As far as Mac goes, I hate and respect it. 3D rendering, video and photo editing, and music production you cant beat the Mac. But then again it was created for the Scientific and Acedemic worlds where M$ created Windows for busness apps.

So for music Mac all the way. Movies M$, and OS M$. The program that needs to shove it is Real Player. By far the worst piece of s*** I have ever used. Even Active player is better.

Yep! Who the hell saves videos as .ram?! Every audio file should be .mp3 and every video file .avi. Simple. No more silly .wmas and .movs. Pointless really.

i also hate and repect apple for different reaons. i am a rebel, and OSX is lockdown at school because of network admin 5. I havent been able to crack past anything. also the schhol computers constantly crash, mostly because of the network admin program...

i don't have troubles with my computer at home or the A+ comp repair computers, and i havent used Ctrl+alt+del for quitting reasons since august of last year.

I use 3 programs for my music, but only one for basic listening, Windows media player.
I use itunes for my Ipod
and i ues sony connect for it's Atrac format.

I say we should switch to Atrac, it's a better Compression than MP3. 500 songs on a CD disc!!! (Compact Disc disc!!!) Beats an MP3's 200. downside is it only plays on sony equipment (for the time)

I hate quicktime, just becuase, and real media i won't even go into.

music should be MP3, wma or Atrac
movies in mpg  or avi.

NO CODECS!!!

That's quite a downside.

I had long since thought RealMedia was all but dead.  I was downloading aircraft videos the other day and to my shock, I found a retched .ram!  RealAlternative does the trick though.

I actually prefer WMA over MP3, as I can get seamless song transitions in WMP.

I agree with y'all.  No more silly formats.  Just MP3 and WMA, and MPG and AVI.

Amen to that!

I'm sick of quicktime and the real player formats

The Itunes format is also annoying. My brother has an iPod and we buy songs over Itunes, but to get the music in a normal format, I have to transfer the music from my brother's computer, burn it to an audio cd using Itunes, and then rip it into wav format

3D RENDERING ON A MAC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just refuse to become part of the mass army that is iPod. So I just bought a 1GB mp3 player. All I need.

I did my best to dissuade my sister, but it was hopeless.  She had the nerve to proudly display it to me, then she was asking for help on how to use iTunes!  Ha!

I used to be one of the biggest anti einPos people in the world, but then I got a 60GB einPos Video for x-Mas. As for sound goes, well lets just say it lacs, however as a extirnal HDD the thing works amazingly. And because all my friends have einPos' its easy to transfer files between all of our computers. The other thing that is nice is that I have a problem with breaking all of my portable electronics so Apple care is a huge help in this. But I dont know what it is, because I was a huge fan of iTunes waay before I ever got an einPos. Its muchly because I like the library system much better than that of anything else (and yes I did try the sony connect).
