Yes, Windows is riddled with errors and things which could have been done better, but let's face it, not everyone in the world is as computer-literate as we are. Windows is a easy-to-use interface for simple users who want to check their e-mail or surf the web. If they're looking for something more they can find their way to Linux but until then who's saying that Windows doesn't get the job done?

a lame insult anyway, but yeah.

quit posting on CCN? nope. I havn't been driven off yet.

"Shave and a hair-cut... 2 bits!" is the catchy little rhythm that advertises a barber's services for $0.25.

So to say that something is a 2-bit company is to mean that it's cheap and not worth much.

You could only do this back in the day because dollar coins were made of silver, which had value whether it was pressed into a coin or not.

I can't stand all the elitism surrounding Linux, i hate the fact that it's becoming more of a desktop OS, I hate the fact that you constantly get noobs who have learnt a few console commands and suddenly they think they are the uber leet hacker, i hate X11, I hate package management, I hate lazy Linux users... why couldn't they have just stuck with Windows.

meh i'm going back to FreeBSD...

ok, I am definitely a linux noob, but I like how it is becoming more windows like. To me this translates to easier to learn to use. Of course I also like free, freee, freeeeee!

the more noobs that cross over to linux, the more companies will decide to provide linux drivers for their hardware or even open their driver specs because even for linux gurus it appears writing device drivers for proprietary hardware is still a good challenge.

MS makes it too simple for me, and that's one of the reasons why I don't like their software.

Im much more frustrated now, with Windows having taken over my computer, than I was trying to figure out how to use Linux. The question is: was re-installing Windows such a good idea? Come on GRUB... PLEASE install!! >.<

Why BSD? Well it's development structure is better for one. All linux updates, patches and features have to be approved by Mr Torvalds (great open source model!?) this leads to features taking months if not years to implement. BSD on the other hand have a large group of people in charge of different departments who say what goes in and what doesn't.

Consider this quip:

BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port a Unix system to the PC. Linux is what you get when a bunch of PC hackers sit down and try to write a Unix system for the PC.

I think thats pretty self explanotary. Don't get me wrong I have been a Linux user since I was 12 (around 10 years), I have seen it evolve and change over the years, the good days and the bad. Most of the people I have known during that time, pretty much have the same sentiments.

Anyways enough ranting. Use what you want. If you like the desktop linux approach then thats great, all I ask you is that you learn C and start writing X12 or something
