NO an OS should run no matter how much Ram is in the computer, if I have 16 MB of Ram there are Unix and Linux distro's I can still run! If the OS can't handle the limitation then it's not our fault it's the developers who don't know how to work with such a limitation.
Troll come on, nothing about that post makes a troll post. I'm not the biggest MS fan, in fact I generally hate MS in favor of Linux so when I can say that Windows 7 made some good choices then I must have a reason.
If you disable all graphical enhancements, turn off user access control and disable driver signing, it's a good OS and being a Linux user I'm not afraid to say it.
Windows 7 is a good OS, grow up don't give me a Troll rating for a post that has nothing Trollful about it!
It seems Microsoft has really made a good Windows release, I'm not just talking about the notebook anymore, even on the desktop Windows 7 is pretty good. Well I can say Windows 7 will never out preform my Linux install I have to it credit of being just as fast and stable as XP. Can't wait to see what else this new version has in store for us!:-)
Amazons best bet will be to go Open Source, it's a proven method that will produce better results. Using a EC2 Cloud Open Sourced will truly be a great move, that is if they make it.
Then don't compile the distro, use a Binary distro like Ubuntu, install wine or cedega and play Half Life, and BTW it's not unusual for a game on Wine or Cegeda to run run faster then it would on Windows. Not all Distro's are sourced based, Just the best ones are. Linux period will take Windows under the table in a benchmarking anytime, anywhere, no questions. If you don't like Linux fine but at least be able to complan about it in a fair manor. It's clear from your comment you don't know enough (or anything) about Linux so don't run your mouth at it.
Once again Linux 0 and Windows 1, shame really. Once you go with Linux you usally stay, I wonder what would happen if all the major computer company refused to send out computers with Windows installed.
It would be a funny experiment to see, on one hand you'd have the group who only uses Linux and they'd be fine and everyone else would finally have to learn how to use a computer with a proper OS installed, because to quote the greatest developer of the 20th century
I don't think they're equally flawed. I think Leopard is a much better system. On the other hand, (I've found) OS X in some ways is actually worse than Windows to program for. Their file system is complete and utter crap, which is scary. I think OS X is nicer than Windows in many ways, but neither can hold a candle to my own (Linux). It's a race to second place.
Personally I agree 100%, it's a race to second and Linux will always have first.
This book is awesome, it helped me really get into python. As a Computer Eng student I really wanted to get into Python but never had a good outlet, finally thanks to this book I've been able to go in head first and feel this will really help me to get going.
