What a load of crock... "I don't trust 3rd party software". Big Grin Big Grin

Let me guess BrokeClaw.. you run Microsoft Windows. Lets hope your not running Windows XP. Hopefully you didn't get a packaged deal on you PC and have stuff pre-loaded.

I trust 3rd party software makers more then I trust Microsoft. I seen the stunts that Microsoft has pulled and the times they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.


Lets.. there was the time that Microsoft purposely put code in their operating system so that Windows could not run on DR-DOS.. Microsoft's excuse when they were caught.. "Oh.. we forgot that we had that in there.. it was only for testing purposes". Of course this was on the released version of Windows. Lets move ahead in time. Like when everytime that Microsoft comes out with a new version of Office.. seems they always break the RTF and have to put out a patch. Lets look at the release of WinXP. Microsoft called it their most secured OS ever. Oops.. they fogot to mention it had a bigger security hole then previous versions of Windows hence.. SP1. Or how about the time they put out a fix for Internet Explorer and broke Visual Studios. Microsoft reply.. wait for the next version of Visual Studio.. the fix will be in the next version of Visual Studios.

Hmm.. lets not forget, that Microsoft had to admit after they were caught sending customer information to another server. Microsoft's repsonse to being caught... "Oops.. we forget we were doing that."

I spent 4 hours on the phone, long distance on my dime with Microsoft to have them finally tell me that the bug that I found in Win95, Win98, Win98SE, WinNT 4.0 and Win2k will not be fixed after admitting it was their bug. And going by what I have been seeing, the bug is in WinXP. Let just hope you never have to partition your hard drive. Hell.. the morons at Microsoft tried to blame the bug on the IPX protocol. Did they ever feel stupid after we proved the problem existed just using Microsoft's own TCPIP protocol.

So saying that you don't trust 3rd party software is foolish. Microsoft doesn't have software for everything. The other thing you have to remember, is that Microsoft buys out other software companies just to cut the competition.. but guess what.. its still 3rd party software. Anything you have to install besides the OS is 3rd party software rather you like it or not. Take a look at some of the software Microsoft is using... you'd be surprise at how much Microsoft is using of 3rd party because of copyright and patent laws.

So I guess you'll have to get rid of Renegade since its 3rd party software... hell you might as well just throw your pc out if has anything on it besides the OS.
