It Does Little and Not Very Well

I wish you and the other editors would stop posting such blatant slashvertisements. It's insulting, really.

Oh, and that's a joke by the way...

It's the old catch 22

We all know linux sux on anything but stock standard vanilla hardware. Ive yet to find a linux distro that will work with my matrox g500 tv card. In windows no probs.....

Mac generally gets it right but only because they totally control and limit what hardware you can connect to their stuff. I think this is the major problem with most non-windows solutions... and that is windows just works with alot more stuff than other platforms.

I don't think this has anything to do with windows having a superior architecture.... it's really about superior market share, and hence driver support as vendors manufacturing hardware aimed at the consumer market always provide support for windows and then once then after thats perfect they'll think about other OS's.

Re:"Review" misses the point.

Disregarding for just a moment what a 'tiny laptop retard' might me, two things:

I find it mildly amusing that you point out my lack of comma and in the same sentence make a far larger mistake.

You receive an F for reading comprehension, Whiney

Call me whiney all you like - at least I don't flame people for a simple mistake.

Re:"Review" misses the point.

As for me 'flaming' you for a 'simple mistake', exactly which mistake are you referencing?

Which mistake was I referencing? I bolded it for you! (and you have the gall to accuse me of a lack of reading comprehension)requesite

Here's the mistake for you: Disregarding for just a moment what a 'tiny laptop retard' might me.....

Seeing you didn't see the bolding last time, I'll point out you spelt the word "mean" with only half the needed letters (and that was simply the most glaring of a number of errors you made in your post)

WMF: Call me whiney all you like.

TMM: Since that's what you've chosen to call yourself [slashdot.org], I will, thanks.

Cripes! And you tell me that I can't see a joke! (You seem completely bamboozled - do you understand humour?)
