  1. Real geeks would... on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 1

    find a way to make there game run with wine so they would not need windows... anyways geeks can always install linux on their own... Housewives I am sure are able to install linux on their own but then why would they need geeks, or computers pre-installed?

  2. XP can't last forever on Microsoft Denies Call-in 'Save XP' Petition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lets face it, in 2, 5, even 10 years from now will anyone still be using XP. Yes, I know there are still computers running 95, but on your desktop at home or in the office unless under special circumstances it is very unlikely you will have XP. It was an awesome OS imho but everything must die eventually. Fortunately for me wine supports Everquest 2 and I can find native apps for almost every other thing I do with my computer. So this last January I installed ubuntu and have not looked back. Microsoft has made enough mistakes to push me away as a customer and because Linux can do what I need it to, Why would I need vista? By the time Microsoft releases an OS that is as good as XP if not better it will be to late for those that have recently moved to Linux to go back.
