LindowsOS Softens Microsoft-Compatibility Claim
jukal writes: "As seen originally at newsforge: On Friday we reported the appearance of Microtel PCs with LindowsOS pre-installed at Walmart.com. Then, Walmart.com and Lindows were claiming that LindowsOS 'delivers the stability of UNIX with the ease of Windows and the ability to run most Microsoft programs.' Today, that last phrase has gone missing and there is no more talk of running any programs designed for Windows, let alone Microsoft products"
I justlooked at the Wal Mart page and the phrase in question was still there. Therefore this story is bollocks.
That was classic intercourse!
Having HTML spill accidentally into comments is one thing, but into the story itself? I believe this is a new never-before-seen low on slashdot.

When you can run Lycoris or Slackware or even Windows XP?
Stability of Linux.
Ease of Windows.
Big software library, easy to get and they'll all install and work fine.
Hey! They made a graphical installer and GUI apt front end for Debian!
The masses are the crack whores of religion.
First things first... being gay is wrong. Period. Keep it out of my face and on the same level as normal people and I don't care about it though... wave it in my face and demand special attention and protections for your perversion and I thank god for AIDS. Next topic... :)
Secondly, women are attracted to the Alpha male type. This has a strong ego, confidence (false or not), and generally has looks and money. They are looking for someone to father a good child at a genetic level, as well as someone who can protect them while they have that child in their life. The less educated and dumb the woman, the more likely they are attracked to the 'get me a beer and fix me a sandwich on the way out baby' assholes that seem to populate the US and most of Europe.
Oddly enough, men who are not rather attractive, but overtly confident and well to do also fit in this group... so do abusive or combative men as their abusive actions can be construed as a strenght that is desirable in a mate (territorialism also plays into it).
Always remember this... mens dicks are linked to their eyes first. Womens 'coochies' are linked to their brain, then eyes, then the bank. It is a rare woman who falls outside this norm.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Much more insightful.
Yes woman are instintictivly attracted to the alpha male.
In high school I was that "alpha male". I partied, beat people up, and had plenty of chicks. Not a different piece every night, but enough to make my ego swell even more.
This even carried on to my first couple years in college, till I met that special girl.... The one that got knocked up.
So then I became a family man, working for a living. Eventually I get back to college and finish up as a software engineer.
Geek factor starts setting in, and after sitting on my ass programming for a few years I put on a good 30 pounds. At that point I'm not even attracting the office secretaries.
So its back to the gym and riding a bike to work.
With the testosterone flowing, after a couple months I'm back to my old tricks. Roughing up the other geeks in the office and being kind of a loud-mouth wisecracking asshole.
Suprise! the chicks are eating it up. The love the dominant male.
Is it wrong? I don't care, and I'll probably at least get a couple of blow jobs out of it as long as I keep working out.
I cannot find a way to download the OS from the site without signing up for the $99 membership.
They are selling GPL software, are they not compelled to have a free download available?
