Can anyone recommend a group for help with windows crashes?
I have been having infrequent crashes, and would like to find a newsgroup for
assistance on analysing the minidump report data to figure out what's causing this. Any suggestions? |

Assumimng that you mean Windows (as in computer issues), I would suggest
joining the free news://news.annexcafe.com newsgroup service, and then go to the newsgroup there called -- annexcafe.general.user2user -- which is all about computer and software realted questions and answers.

The newsserver "msnews.microsoft.com" has maybe a thousand newsgroups related to microsoft products. The one I find most useful is microsoft.public.windowsxp.general Several Microsoft developers participate in the group - though as volunteers, not as official MS respondents. |

Not all are intensely active, of course, but it takes that many to service over a billion users. Of course you're using a Mac (accounting for about 7% of the installed computer customer base). Still, the Mac is more popular than various versions of Linux which, at less than 1% of the market, no one will use if even if it was given to them. I suspect the main reason for the Mac's popularity not being down in the Linux range is the fact that Microsoft wrote a substantial part of the Mac's software. |

I asked Dell if I could get it with Ubuntu, but they would not sell that particular model with Ubuntu. This weekend I'll be wiping Vista and installing Linux. But Microsoft got paid, and Microsoft will forever count my computer as a Vista computer. That often cited 1% market share figure is 100% bogus. no one will use if even if it was given to them. People are lazy, or perhaps just busy. Most are willing to use whatever comes on the computer. I've used Microsoft for years, and I've also used Linux for years. It is not a close comparison, Linux is better. -- Tony Sivori Due to spam, I'm filtering all Google Groups posters. |

The percentage of desktop machine running Linux may not be precise, but it is accurate. As of April 2nd, Linux market share was reported to be 0.90% by the Market Share report of Net Applications. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/repo...qpcustom=Linux "Estimates for the desktop market share of Linux range from less than one percent to almost two percent..." (with references) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#M...are_and_uptake As to your claim that your new machine will always count as a Vista machine, that's not how Net Applications tabulates current usage. While Microsoft is grateful for your purchase, Net Applications monitors net traffic and counts which OS is the current traffic generator. If you like Linux, go for it. For me, having to choose between Linux and having a girlfriend is a no-brainer. |

I agree with everything you wrote except that last bit. Assuming we're talking about the Mac OS, Micro$oft wrote *none* of that. So far as application software is concerned, well, yeah, a lot of MS software runs on the Mac, but there's also a ton of non-MS stuff. Personally, I still think of Mac users as kind of a cult; nothing really intrinsically better about the system, apart from the Unix core (which a lot of Mac users don't even know or care about) and the superior prettiness of the Mac desktop--big deal. -- Made From Pears: Pretty good chance that the product is at least mostly pears.

Balmer was right about one thing. Linux is a cancer to Microsoft, and is Microsoft's number one peril. It is going to eat them, but it will be a slow process. Every couple of years I devote a few days to trying the latest version of Linux. The last attempt was Ubuntu. I had a few problems and was told, no try Kubuntu. In fact, I was told to try about five different distros. Well, I don't have time to work through that. XP works fine, and I've installed W7 on one machine and even in beta that works fine. I get the feeling that all Linux distros are in permanent beta. Unlike Linux groupies, software being free isn't the most important thing for me. Part of that, I suppose, is because I'm a programmer and I like to get paid. Some free software is really good, but most Linux programs are flakey, because they appear to get about 98% done before the kids get tired of trying to finish it, I'm told to use the last version. Or the next version. Or some completely different program that does the same thing with an entirely different learning curve. I'm keeping an eye on the Mono project though. Being able to run DotNet apps on different Linux flavors will be fun to play with. |

I found my answer there. Glad to help you get help. There is one poster on that group, "Alias" by name, who uses every request for help as a opportunity to pitch Ubangi. A simple question such as: "What's a good, free, virus checker" results in "Install Ubuntu and you won't have to worry about viruses." Some respond to THAT nonsense by retorting "Yeah, and if you date a blow-up doll instead of the real thing..." Those of us who stand up to the assault may, someday, have something said about us similar to: In the 100 years since the Victoria Cross was created for valour & extreme courage beyond that normally expected of a British soldier in the face of the enemy..... only one thousand three hundred & forty four have been awarded..... eleven of those were won by defenders of the mission station at Roarke's Drift, Natal. January 22nd to 23rd 1879......... ... *James Henry Reynolds, Surgeon Major, Army Hospital Corp. *Conville Bromhead, Lieutenant, B Company 2nd Battalion 24th Regiment of Foot, South Wales Borderers *John Rouse Elliot Chard, Lieutenant, Royal Engineers, Officer Commanding....
