You don't seem to realize that this can go on forever, commenting anymore about the subject is is just counter productive. As I stated previously, I don't know a lot about Linux - I do not disagree with you that Linux is a wonderful OS. However, I am sick of people like you 'flaming' windows. A brocolli I may be, but atleast I am not a trained parakeet. Windows hasn't increased computer literacy. It's just lowered the standard Windows hasn't increased computer literacy. It's just lowered the standard Windows hasn't increased computer literacy. It's just lowered the standard POLY WANNA CRACKER. Move on.
There is no need to call names or degrade someone for there opinion. While I admit that I do not know a lot about Linux, nor do I know a lot about different OS. As I did mentioned in my last message, I only speak for the average person on this planet. I think that is about 5 point something billion people who would prefer MS. How arrogant of you to claim that you and any one who uses Linux is smarter than a piece of brocolli. More power to you. What little experience I have with linux has been nothing but frustration. For example, we had to use a software at school which for some reason runs on these Linux platform. To get into it, I have to login with my user name, then run some sort of script someone else wrote just so that the windows can be shown correctly. you either run this script or write your own. How many people besides the one in here knows how to write script? Gee, probably you and everyone who actually understand what KDE/Gnome means. Maybe your 16 year old sister were ble to use KDE so easily, because she had all of her script written for her along with all the command line driven interface. When she actually go to college and she had to log into the Linux system, will she find KDE as easily accessible or will she even find KDE at all. I certainly didn't. I know, I think she will she something like, Linux> and then she will go home and ask you what happened to KDE. I don't know what kind of Linux every one is using but the one i need to use at school only has a Linux prompt. Hmmm, maybe there are too many differenct kinds of linux around. Now I understand why linux is a little confusing and is not the choice of 5 point something billion people. Last word: Please stop flaming Windows and Bill Gates. Windows is a great thing even with flaws. Bill Gates can be blame as not being original, but hey he has billions of dollars and he doesn't kill or harm anyone, he just does business. I think they will be a great philanthropist one of these days. They already pledged 1 billion to education. JohnG, maybe ur sister will benefit from it. Maybe people should Leave Gates and Windows alone. I am sick of people crying about how he is unfair and about windoze. I WANT THANK PARITY FOR HIS COMMENT, VERY COOL COMPARISON. I AGREE!
I don't understand why everone is 'Gay-basing' Gates and windows. Windows is only second (after apple) in user friendly environments. Everyone in here need to undersant that most people don't work in DOS or Linux or Unix where everything is almost command base. If you need something to happen in linux, you either have read some sort of news group for information or write some sort of script. While it may be customizable for those who can do it, it's frustrating for the other 90 percent of the population. That is why Windows will always rule and linux will always be FREE. Linux doesn't even know whether it should be a windows application or a DOS type application. When Linux is in windows mode, it almost looks like a cross between microsoft windows and apple interface but yet it doesn't want to be known as a windows application. Does everyone hate MS that much that they don't want to copy a good idea. Bottom line --- linux is as confusing to navigate as this website (speaking for the average people). Some people keep crying about how MS is not original or play unfairly. Hey, life sucks and it's business as usual. If all the other applications or business were so great in the first place, MS wouldn't have a chance. Others may talk about how windows crashes so much compared to linux which some say (i highly doubt) never ever crashes ever since they first installed. Even if MS Window crashes often, these are just life little annoyances. I much rather deal with the intuitive nature of windows than with linux. Atleast with windows, I can start an application by clicking on something. While in linux, I would probably have to type in some dumb command or run some script I don't understand. Oh yea, My netscape doesn't crash in MS windows! My personal opinion: Linux may be favored in the nerd techie arena, but out here in the real world, people use windows. MS Windows will always crash and people will pay 100 for it because it's more convenient. Linux will always be free. Let me ask all you linux fans -- If you had to buy linux for 100 dollars and MS window was free, which one would you favor? Not Linux. A free thing is always a good thing b/c it's free. People tend to criticize things that they have paid for. Lay off windows people.

I like your cool comparisons. I wish people would moving on about windows too.
You sound very angry and irrational, please seek some help before you hurt yourself or others.
