    Another Linsux kernel. When are you open sores fanboi's going to use a real OS like Windows 7 which uses the far superior NT kernel?

      Put the chair down, Steve.

      But while you're here, can you make Windows 8 so that when I cold boot the machine it comes up in the state I left it when I powered down, like Linux does? That's just one thing I'd like you guys to do to try and catch up with Linux, there are a lot more things you need to improve before you even come close.

      Thanks.

    The problem is in the fragmentation of distributions and the fragmentation in the GUI.
    Fragmentation of resources (both human and economic), I mean.

    The hostility from the MS fanboi's toward the *nix fanboi's reminds me of Big Tobacco's stance toward the American Medical Association regarding carcinogenic properties of cigarettes, respectively.

    Is this a case of linux kernel developers copying features that are in the Mac OS X darwin kernel?
