Are you implying that we should all surrender since Germany uses KDE (didn't we try that before)? Sorry. I prefer Gnome. Can I keep using it or do I have to roll over France-style now?

And Windows won. Get over it.

It is about choice. It has always been about choice, and will always be about choice.

KDE hasn't won anything. That is like the little kid that takes of running. He gets to the end of the block and starts shouting "I WON, I WON" and no one else knew he was racing them.

I use linux, bsd, gnome, and kde. Depends on what I feel like. Choice.

If I wanted to follow suit with a winning technology that has the most support globally, I would stick with windows.
Windows already won by ACNiel · 2003-01-31 07:45 · Score: 1, Troll

If there was a race, then Windows won. Why is it all about winning and losing. It is about choice. Freedom to choose, or doesn't anyone get it. It isn't a troll, it is a wakeup call. How can you call coming in a distant, questionable second, winning. The XP desktop is really sweet, if you like that sort of thing, and is more widely used. What race was won? The race for second? Discuss. I challenge a flippant post, and I get modded as a troll.
