I still can't figure why developers decide to use DirectX when there are cross-platform equivalents. I refuse to buy a game that uses DirectX because of the policies of the Microsoft. I can't believe they are going to force users to upgrade to Vista to use DirectX 10. I'm glad I don't use their products.
I agree with there being people who are unfair. A community works best when people help people. Taking and not giving does just the same to the community. Your point is a good one in that respect.
Ubuntu forums are helpful. Users get the support they need just like any other distro's support forums. I am experienced enough that I have used Arch, Gentoo and Slack in the past and just prefer Kubuntu and its community. That shouldn't make me have the label of kiddie. I thought using Linux was about choice and the freedom to make that choice. A little respect would be okay for other choices than your own.

I don't believe it is windowless. Having Windows is the best way to perpetuate viruses!
Viruses being infected by viruses is nothing new. It's been happening with every version of Windows.
