  1. What's the point? by neflon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Lunix users: Don't want Windows users (who they deem to be mentally inferior) switching to their precious little 'pet OS', since that would remove the elitist stigma from Lunix and destroy what's left of their self-inflated, self-interested egos.

    Windows users: Aren't exactly going to switch to a completely foreign OS just to do... the exact same fucking things they were doing on Windows, but with more hassle now.

    So straight away you have both of the two groups involved that don't really need this project. It's like these geeks would rather waste their fucking time reverse-engineering the Windows APIs just to play Counter-Strike when their 'talents' (or 'mad skillz' as Lunix users refer to them) would be better used to either a) write quality native apps for Lunix, or b) give in and shell out for a licensed copy of Win*.
