life after Windows....

The vast majority of PCs can't do what I want to do. It makes no difference if they run Windows, BEOS, or have front panel switches to install whatever code you like. You cite illogical emotionally charged factoids like that one in every post you make. I use Linux because it will do what I want done. You buy Windows and claim whatever it does is "right". It's bull****. I have linux available for dual-boot on most of my computers because there are things it does better than Windows. My son has it on his PC, because one of his favorite games is tux-racer. But just because I use it for certain functions and just because you use it for certain functions, doesn't change the fact that for the general population it is too user unfriendly and too limited for it to be a good OS choice. Would I set up a server running Windows? Not if I could help it. Would I set up a desktop computer runing Linux for someone who is not computer savvy? Again not likely. Each OS has it's strengths and weaknesses, and as much as the Linux gang disagrees, Linux has a weakness when it comes to providing a user friendly desktop environment. It is ok on the desktop if it is only needed for a set range of tasks (eg a business doing wordprocessing or spreadsheeting), but fails badly if it is to be used for the diverse range of functions that a typical home computer would be subjected to. -- Have you ever noticed that all legal documents need to be completed in black or blue pen, but we vote in pencil? |
