Re: A warning to upgraders

=?Utf-8?B?QW50aXNzbg==?=

Since when Microsoft was capable to do something good in their existance,
even that game Gears of war suck since they put them self in, they cant even
correct their own creation, and they took us as dumb test for free to make
their clumsy OS finaly working at 5% .... they should pay us at least for the
work we do for them.

For the Brother , the company is dumb or lazy to produce a driver, and that
is not Microsoft responsability to provide it. that is to Brother.

Their whatever Engineer cant come up with what they told me in the phone,
when they are just 12 minutes from home in montreal.

more they get big more they get dumb, the money goes too much in the head
