An "XP machine" needn't contain a video card that can "change the
orientation of the computer screen image" to be considered an ""XP
machine".

Has *anyone* disagreed with this?

You did... you clearly and incorrectly stated that the screen
orientation feature "is part of the experience of using an XP machine".

I wrote:

"It's entirely a function of whether or not there is a particular type
of video card present... a situation that has nothing to do with the OS."

Your reply:

"As I note above, Steve, it is part of the experience of using an XP
machine".

You are clearly wrong as it's only "part of the experience of using an
XP machine" if your "XP machine" has video circuitry that supports the
feature. You have now had two posters who have the feature tell you that
the keyboard sequence you claim activates it in XP doesn't work on their
"XP machines". You have also had two people tell you that it doesn't
work at all via Parallels... this is a pretty good indicator that it's a
function of the video circuitry. You've had me tell you that it doesn't
work with my Gateway tower "XP machine". Your thread's title is
erroneous, your argument is erroneous. Of course, you'll do what you
always do... piss and moan about how you are "hated" or whatever...
anything to avoid admitting you stepped on your *** again;)


Anyone at all? Before you lie and claim
I have, Steve, let me remind you that I have not.

Uh... via google... I just proved that you did.

So, Steve, why do you spew such obvious BS, other than the simple facts
that:

A) You had no real comment in relation to my point about how a
non-admin user in XP can screw with other users.

So what? You "can screw with other users" on a Mac, too. Got a point
yet, Mr. "Mac advocate"?

B) You *want* to show of how consumed by your hatred you are.

Grow up and dump that bull*** argument, Snit... it's not working for
you here.

The feature you described is not "part of the experience of using an XP
machine" unless that machine has video circuitry which supports that
feature via a keyboard command, therefore, your title is incorrect (as
is your argument)... this is not a "Cool feature" of XP. The same
feature would likely be available in Vista or any other OS on that same
machine as long as it allows access via a keyboard command.

Ah, so you just wanted to nit pick, miss the point, and show off your
irrational and all consuming hatred. OK. Thanks for sharing.

No, I'm pointing out that your thread's title is erroneous... as is your
argument here... made in the name of 'Mac advocacy'.


Next time, Steve, why don't you try to contribute something of value to
CSMA. Please.

One of the things I am doing here is pointing out what kind of a Mac
advocate you are. You may not... but I consider that of value to csma. I
don't feel that your thread here was of much value... other than to
prove you can make *** up in a feeble effort to make competing OSes
look bad... not much value there as I see it.

Here: I will give you another change.

I don't need "another change"... your first erroneous argument is
plenty...and... you have yet to acknowledge that fact.

Do you have any thoughts on the fact
that, at least in the case I described, a non-Admin user can alter settings
for other users?


As can they alter settings on a Mac. Big f*cking deal.
