Exactly. Xbox 1 may have been the best system of the last generation, but you'd be hard pressed to mention a game that was WAY better looking than the usual on Gamecube. Soul Caliber 2 was released on all three platforms at the same time; the Xbox one loaded the fastest, but it didn't look any prettier than the other two.
the iPod works because no matter what model you buy, within three to six months there's a new premium on the block. Be it Touch, Phone, Nano, or Classic. You always have room to improve within their little hierarchy; especially the more popular cheaper Nanos and Minis.
Vista used to suck. It doesn't any more. but it couldn't run on the computers of yesterday, which was why everyone dislikes it so much. Why should I have to buy a new computer?
Cue the people claiming "OpenOffice.org doesn't even match the functions I need or want!" That's shortsighted. Think in two years. Think five. Ten. How functional and appealing do you think Ubuntu 10.04 will be? That's why the parent is correct; now it's getting there, and soon it will BE there. Then what will "pay to play" shops like MS do, if they can't innovate to sell anymore?

But past that, you can read it any way you wish, but I took it as a shot right across to those of us who aren't as "sophisticated" as him. You can devalue my thoughts if you wish, but that's what I see from his post. Eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Daddy likes Mommy. But soandso's Daddy likes another Daddy. Highfalutin' thesis statement: IT'S NOT FUCKING COMPLICATED. It's the idiots who can't accept that people are different from them that make it that way.
Because we always give the trolls what they want, right? We stand in little rows and they pick us off like ducks in COD. They certainly have a problem with us actually playing the game and winning, so we stand still for them all the time.
Ubuntu doesn't want to discuss its bugs? Ever seen the bug reporting facilities? There are more bug reports for Ubuntu because more people want to talk about them; hence, more discussion. Furthermore, Canotical is a very small, four year old company that's just struggling to make their organization break even. I doubt their priority is in giving back quite yet (even though, if you want to ignore the fact that Ubuntu is open source and anybody can take what they want, then fine). And lastly, I have used nearly every Linux distro on the top fifty of Distrowatch, and I have no idea what you're talking about. Why should I? I started in Linux a few years ago and have had no reason to get deep into the workings of the OS. I'm here to get computer work done, not learn how it works (that's just a perk). Ubuntu, Mandriva and all of their desktop friends are making it easy, and my (red) hat is off to them.
Ubuntu doesn't come with the DVD or MP3 codecs. It takes two minutes to install the codecs for Fedora? Heck, before RPM Fusion it was a good half an hour; now it's maybe half that. And Fedora doesn't come with a good powerful tool like Synaptic, so honestly I have no idea what you're smoking, but it sounds pretty good.
I do not think you read his entire post ( or if you did you didn't understand the thesis), where he went on to say "...you will still need to use a one-shot scanner like Trend Micro's on occasion." Besides, nitpicking single words or phrases just means you have no real reason to dissent, but just feel like being a dick anyway.

"Screw the money, I have rules. Wait, what?"
Not true. I'm running Ubuntu and have done so. OK Computer for $2 was a resounding "YES," even if it's not lossless.
Well, the stuff that this article claims is a "feature" is more along the lines of "Changing how windows flash when they pop up" kind of nonsense.
When I wrote a book, the copyright of novel belonged to the pencil.
That sounds like a CD drive issue, not a disc issue. Unless they're really scratched.

When you see the toll moderation, I think you can safely say your joke simply wasn't satirical enough. Sorry 'bout that.
My mistake.

Nice FUD there...ignoring all of the Linux FS's out there. Nice work.
It was the geeks that started the Vista Flop. So don't underestimate the geeks.
It's funny that you reverse the bigotry by claiming Apple fans are "sophisticated." So the rest of us are not? Hypocrite.
Doesn't that make you sad? Just a little bit, at least?

I have heard some racial slurs thrown around, though.

You're talking about the present. He's talking about the past.

Because those silly Republicans jump up onto the chair and shriek, "Eeek! It's socialism!" And mind you, they're the rich ones.
