Who cares?

I, like 99 percent of the people out there look at the end result and

could care less where it comes from.

If a driver exists for Windows and not for Linux, then Linux sucks.

That's the way of the world.

Do you care who made the hoses for your washing machine?

I don't as long as they work.

 

The problem with Linux is that the community is always whining and

placing blame every place it can but at the same time ignoring the fact

that Linux is free and Windows is not.

So where is Linux?

It's free for goodness sakes.

Maybe the real truth is that people have tried Linux and decided that it

sucks.

Ever consider that option?

It's the most logical one AFAIK.

Well it doesn't sound that logical to me, as millions have tried Linux, love

it and are using it. (estimated at around 29 million users now). So other

than the few whiners like you, who for some reason are unable to wrap their

heads around using Linux, I'd think that you are not being logical, AFAIK.

 

Cheers.

The most logical one is actually that you know nothing about that of

which you speak. :)

Re: linux is crap.. but vista is....

 

Well, I've started using Linux for real, and while it has it's strong points

it can also be VERY frustrating, like taking six hours (most spent studying

mangpages written by an illiterate Klingon) to get time synchronization

working, which would take me 30sec on a Windows box.

 

I mostly use legacy Windows versions, and will probably continue to do so

for the forseeable future.. But, if the choice was between Linux and Vista, I

know which I'd choose.

It's not logical and it's not likely. What is likely is that you know very

little about Linux and have no desire to learn. That's ok, many people are

not willing to take the time to learn anything new.

Botnets of millions of windows machines.... great result!

So, if a driver exists for Linux, but not for Vista, then Vista sucks, eh?

Yes. They'll need replacing when they start leaking.

Yeah, Windows is subsidised by Linux users who buy machines with Windows

preinstalled... and then wipe it from the machines.

On all my machines.

Free as in freedom. You are free to modify and view the code. There are many

commercial Linux distributions.

I'm sure there are a few.

I think perhaps the the correct statement would be that people will take

the path of least resistance. While there is Windows available, they

don't have to spend the time to "learn" something else. They plug their

computer in and use it, they aren't looking for an adventure.

Re: linux is crap.. but vista is....

 

And yet if you google "time synchronization" and windows, there seem to be

thousands of people who can't do it on windows. But once they've done it on

windows, it only takes 30 seconds to do it again. Do you think it would take

you six hours to do it a second time ;-)

I use both Linux and Windows. The Linux box will run non-stop for

months and has top-notch security (great for proxy servers), unlike

any Windows O/S I've tried. The Windows O/S is required for some

applications I need. However, it's unlikely I'd spend over $75 for

any home operating system. I know Vista is here to stay, get over

it, but it still sucks.

Re: linux is crap.. but vista is....

 

is there a sane reason you choose to ignore the subject of this group and

continue to post your Linux crap?? obviously Linux users are self centered

and arrogant.

Take your Linux garbage to your particular area, we don't want it here.
