So yeah, slag Bill Gates off, but don't come complaining to some of us when your stuck using Linux/Unix or some shit like that.

What the fuck is wrong with Linux, huh?

No, that's just because Microsoft has control over the market.
(98,5% of the world's DESKTOP computers use Windows (1.0 to XP (Longhorn too...)))

Just make sure not to run into any of that pesky natural sunlight in the process...
|
I go outside on a regular basis to play with my dog and run around with him/walk him. Also my small cat, because she's so tiny. So don't give me any shit about walking into natural sunlight.
I'm not saying they should have found every bug, and I like progress, but it just seems wierd that they have a new security update every month. It is extremely annoying, it seems like they should have taken more time to look for security holes and such. ActiveX still sucks though, well not sucks, just not good, it's very insecure. And SP2 Screws up alot of stuff, but it fixes alot of stuff, It's good and it's bad at the same time. And the 98 and 95 coms at my school last year, every single one of them would either lock up or give you the blue screen every 1/2 hour while using Photoshop, doing stuff in Visual C++, or other things, I'm not joking. We switched to XP this year and they're fine most of the time, now and then there's a problem but it doesn't happen too often, there's this one that doesn't even know XP is installed after we installed, so we had to re-install it again, and then it gives us an error and says it needs SP1, so the computer teacher orders the SP1 CD from microsoft and recieves it 2 weeks late and then installs SP1 on the box, and it doesn't even remember is was supposed to conenct to a network and show the old bootup screen to enter a username/password, and we can't log on to that computer as admin, that computer is F*cked.
To all you that don't like Linux/Unix Why do you not like it? It's extremely secure and open source, most of it is free. It's great for just about anything except for games, but that's changing, Savage is installable on Linux, UT 2004 I heard has a Linux version. There's always wine for alot of games, but then again there's always stuff wine won't work with.

I personally have very little experiance with linux. or should i say Dos with colors.
J/k i know its not Dos with colors.
But what i do like is that when you delete something, it doesnt say "But a program is using that dll" Its just fucking gone.

You people make it sound like the Queen is drawing names out of a hat.
Bill Gates deserved that award. Not only did he start off with nothing, but he went to having billions and later simply donated millions and millions.

Don't defend Microsoft, asshatimus.

Aren't we all? Every single person on this board HAS used/purchased windows. Its not proted to linux or another OS so therefor you are defending/supporting them aswell.
Oh and by the way, slap yourself for me. What a retarded comment. Like others have already said. Bill Gates started with nothing and built himself up. You go against him because he thinks about was hes doing and doesn't run his mouth like a retard :rolleyes:
By the way. Bill Gates didn't just donate a plot of money one time. Hes donating millions of dollars a year to charities.

Since I calmed down a tad bit and noticed that insulting you endlessly would give me little to no satisfaction in the long run.
How about you actually tell us HOW it doesn't compare to Windows, so that we can correct your opinions and tell you what a moron you are? I mean really...
---
As far as Bill Gates goes, I don't blame the bastard, I mean he slanders off every other system, speaks about windows as if it was immune to every threat in the world and generally has monopolized the market totally so that any new attempt at an OS gets assimalated.

Used? Yes. Purchased? Not fucking likely.

I get games to work just fine on Debian and RedHat (redhat more so than Debian, have both installed) so I don't see the problem people have with Linux and Games, it's not fucking impossible to get them to work right like it is with a Mac.
Now I will admit that Linux will never be the dominant system, used all over the planet and all such, why? It's not user friendly enough, meaning that every dumbass can't pick up a copy, stick his thumb up his butt and still be able to make his merry way to surf porn sites.
That's why Windows is at the top, it's an idiot friendly system.
While Windows is the most widely used and sold, Linux is a much more complicated and reliable system.
I'll quickly point out some of the advantages of Linux.
1. Reliability/Stability - I used to have two rigs, one with linux and one with windows, nearly side by side used on a daily basis for an year, in that year, my Linux rig crashed a grand total of 3 times, you know how many times Windows crashed? 63 times.
2. Preformance - Comparing preformances between WinXP and just about any Linux distribution (for me Redhat and Debian) I get 30%-40% preformance increase with Linux.
3. Unix - "Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away."
4. Security - There are a number of cases where security exploits have been fixed WITHIN HOURS of their discovery where as with closed-source systems it took them months.
5. Open Source - I'm just going to come right out and say it, Open Source=Freedom, why? Think about an OS and how it's being constantly built like a country, a country with freedom and creativity will rise to the top quickly, become the most advanced and secure. Where as a dictatorship will oppress the people in to submission under one path and no other path... Which country do you think will end up being the better? Yeah, now just think Open Source.
6. Software Development - Even with my meager knowledge on the subject, I can clearly see how much more programmer friendly Linux is, I think the open source bit kind of explains this too.
Okay, this got a tad bit long...<_<...but hell, you insulted something I hold dear to me.
Oh and before I listen to anymore silliness from people who claim to knwo what they're talking about when talking about Linux, would everyone who uses Linux on a regular basis please raise their hand.
*raises hand*
Right, I think I've made my ridiculously long point.

The only real beef that I have with Linux: It won't support 1280x1024 resolution, and with my flat panel LCD, everything looks fucked in anything less.
whoa.
