Linux had it bad kernels but still I prefer to update 20 Linux boxes then 5 windows boxes. Point is ms doesn’t care for it’s users, they only care for money. finally more companies switch to Linux because there fed up with crashing systems, fucked up systems because people installed illegal or other software.

The current depression is terrible for everybody but the further we go, the more company there are who use open source software. Other people will follow, the more the better.

Concerning whatever 7: you can’t make a new house by cleaning up an older one. Our clients didn’t switch to vista because they already knew the quality of vista from there home pc. Some even paid to use xp while other are happy Linux users at home… and on there work!!!

Take for example Windows Vista. If memory serves me right Windows Vista was built from a Windows Server 2003 baseline. Windows Server 2003 32-bit version supports way more that 4GB of memory space. But Vista stops at 4GB. And about 300MB to 500MB of that is taken by system devices. Why? Wasn’t Vista supposed to be an improvement?

“The VAR Guy applauded Microsoft again and again for freeing companies from expensive, proprietary Unix hardware and software.”

Errmmm … Okay. So they gave us crap expensive proprietary Microsoft software instead??? And remember it was IBM that invented the affordable desktop PC and their need for an OS that gave Microsoft it’s big break.

The worst bunch of you act like it’s some kind of music event where the idols get up on stage and try to put on the best performance to please the crowds. Well, that’s what you are – a crowd.

FOSS is created by engineers for engineers. That’s really what it boils down to and don’t even me convince you of anything else.

Why do we want software to be free(as in freedom)? So we can use it and more importantly, build with it the way we want to. I have no qualms about shelling out cash for a watch. I do think the idea of paying to use friction is a bit stupid though. That’s what some software licenses amount to. When anyone understands how to program, like understanding the physics behind the watch, they are more likely to resent paying for logic especially when often it’s flawed logic. To pay for functioning watch that keeps time for years, is great pleasure. You feel proud of handy work of a great watch maker. You resent paying money for some piece of #### watch. As human beings become more intelligent and more people learn logic, the more we will resent paying for someone else’s bad programming.

EM, no thanks. I have had enough with them evil bastards.

Last time I checked, Microsoft won’t let you look at the windows source code. Last time I checked, Microsoft controls what you do whether your going through the headache inducing process of registering windows, or encountering DRM in windows media player. And last time I checked, you have to pay for a copy of windows. Linux is free.

Even if windows 7 were technically superior to gnu/linux, I still wouldn’t buy it. I want to feel like I own my computer. I want to have the ability to fix it when things go wrong, and know how it works. Long live FOSS.
