    Come on...if you're using Linux, what's the big deal about command line installation? Yeah, I know - make it appealing to the masses, blah, blah, blah.

    ha ha ha, welcome to Why Linux isn't Used on the Desktop 101.

    This reminds me of point 3 on this excellent Linux Zealot putdown on the other site

    and to counter your reasons:

    1. windows has never cost me a cent, and it was worth every penny. Fuck microsoft, windows is freeware as far as most people ESPECIALLY students are concerned.

    2. FUCK Microsoft and FUCK there eula, I never paid for anything, thus I am not subject to their bullshit. (see warez makes sence with windows!)

    I think what it really boils down to it is that it you don't want to run windows to run the windows games then your not really a gamer and companies won't care about you anyway. IE you are too casual a gamer. You are not a market. YOU SUCK ;-)
