Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux

gewg_ writes "John C. Dvorak thinks he knows the way Redmond can kill Linux. Basing his premise on the relative dearth of device drivers available for Linux (compared to what is available for Windows), he sees an opportunity for the Borg to embrace and extinguish." From the article: "The immediate usefulness of Linux running under Windows is obvious. You can use all the Windows drivers for all the peripherals that don't run under Linux. Drivers have always been an issue with Linux as PC users have gotten spoiled with Windows driver support. Today's user wants to grab just about anything and not worry about installing it and making it work."

    They didn't remove the comment. It was just modded down. I think you can change your settings such that it will be viewed. Or just click X replies below your current threshold at the bottom of the page.

    It's a hard decision to take, but i have to leave you.

    I've shared many good moments with you, but lets face reality: you've changed. Dupes 3 times a week, recurring stories, you're not really fun anymore.

    And today i've discovered you're cheating. You have erased comments, and by doing so, you've broken the love i had for you...

    Mod this as you want, that's your right... I bet on Troll. But those that know /. for sometimes know that you're not anymore the one you once was...

    Bye /.
