"For those of you who have used all of them, I'm sorry."
What kind of an immature way is that to end an article. Just because it's Microsoft, we have to bash them? Please, grow up..
I'm obviously posting anon, because I know how these moderator nazis are going to mod me down within minutes..
In the end, when you leftist, anti-war hippies face hypocricy.. you'll realize you're not as peaceful and noble as you think you're made out to be..
You people are SLASH BOTS. I realize bill gates is a monopolizing bastard, and very dominating of this industry, but you don't even take the time to realize, that because, and ONLY BECAUSE MS has so much money, they invest that money into designing what is a superior product. Yes, Windows has a lot of problems- guess what, Linux has more. Maybe the internals of Linux are much cleaner, but until I can assemble a completely random machine, have an install as easy as Windows, and NOT have to recompile a kernal each time I change something, Windows is going to stay maintstream. Windows isn't popular because its a fad, it really is easier, and in today's world, easier is better. It seems that some of you have so much fun hating microsoft that you forget that there is more than one reason they are so damn sucessful. Yes, part of it is a monopoly, but part of it is a superior product.
You're obviously a troll, but I'm bored so I'll have a go.
"Maybe the internals of Linux are much cleaner, but until I can assemble a completely random machine, have an install as easy as Windows"
Well I have installed Mandrake 9 on a brand new Dell that came pre-loaded with XP, no trouble at all. All the hardware auto-detected, everything worked, and only one reboot. Later, I installed the same OS on a P133 with 48MB of Ram and some old, ISA network card, again with no need to do anything but put the CD in and wait. How is this more complicated than installing Windows?
"and NOT have to recompile a kernal each time I change something"
Now you're just babbling.
"Windows isn't popular because its a fad"
I don't imagine anyone of sound mind would ever suggest that.
"part of it is a superior product"
Well it's easy to _say_ that. It really all depends on how you measure it.
Oh wait, maybe you're right. Thank goodness there are well informed, open minded people like you with balanced opinions to make up for all these Linux zealots.
I tried the last three versions of redhat, the last two of mandrake... none of them supported my sound card, and I'm too stupid to know how to install a driver! Oh, and RedHat doesn't seem to like to recognize both of my video cards, and once again, I'm SURE it is one trillion percent possible, but I don't know how, and there are thousands of pages to read before I could find the answer.
As usuall the slashdot effect hit the server. Here are the screenshots of Windows1.0 and here is Windows 2.0 and 3.0 is here.Enjoy and thanks.
