If ya know, that Bill Gates is "thinking" about a "Will my Windows 1.x start already? "

For Slovak/Czech visitors (we are now separated), you can laugh about a "PC in Czechoslovakia" here:

http://www.blisty.cz/2004/5/14/art18120.html

The communism's sayings are soo funny How they expect a PC in year 1985?

(translation:"The EGA screen will guarantee a perfectly beautiful images" or
"Why is the pointing device in outland called 'mouse' ? The mouse is a sponger to any agricultural plant !" or
"The firm Microsoft, translated in Slovak as a 'Short-peaced corporation' (or how to translate that word MICROSOFT) should join the obligation group. Just like in USSR." or
"To start Windows, you must type WIN! (They thinked as a "WIN a prize")" or
"We can not write in Azbuka or Czechoslovak character set in program "Write". This is a reason, why computers cannot be good in any work"
or Bill Gates is called as a "Villiam The Gate" )

Well, for interest, a Windows 1.01 boot screen:

And thus you jeopardize the whole forum, because the forum admin can be sued for links to illegal downloads offered in his forums.

Mods, please delete that link...

How does copyright expiration work with companies in the US? For people it's 70 years after their death, but I don't see a company legally dying.

for personal copyrights, its 70 years after the persons death -- but most people create a company to hold there copyrights:

for companies, its a set number of years after the subjects creation (something like 115 years, iirc -- but i think that was the 1978 number -- i think its been changed since then), regardless of the status of the company

Bill looks stoned in that pic but at least it's a real pic, I'd guess the other two are photoshopped(or gimped given the OSes involved).

Poor bill

In any sense, I generally find it funny...

I know the others are Gimped, But it's an effective way to share BSD eh?

GIMP can run on Windows too. This words maybe hurts you, because you don't like Windows.

Oooh 'sorry'. I did not know, that some OS programmers are too serious

And thus you jeopardize the whole forum

I don't know anyone who sells Windows 1.01 in year 2006, though.

I was talking about the content of the pictures, Not the GIMP application inflater, I couldn't give a rats a** if GIMP runs on Windows or not.

Posting links to such things like classic Windows is more appropriate for a Warez forum.

We're not offended by Windows. In a similar vein to Satanists also being required to believe in God (up to a level - if there's no god, how can there be a satan), the only people that actually dislike Windows are people linearly averse to it. We're not directly averse to it (we're not depending on its downfall), we just dislike it.

We're as serious as the laws require us to be. Even though it's a pointless exercise, it's illegal software. We as a forum / community do not publically use illegal software so the link should not be there. There are countries in which the entire forum can be taken offline because some person put the link up, and I expect the host of this forum to be in one of those countries.

And thus you jeopardize the whole forum

The point isn't that you can't buy it. Nobody's requiring people to sell you something. If you can't buy something, stealing it isn't accepted. You might feel like you have a "right" to get the product, but you don't. You could know where plutonium is sold, but you still can't buy it.
