It all boils down to one thing. Which time do you value more? The time spent in coding/debugging (more headaches, but short)? Or that spent in running the program (lots of patience required, but nothing else). Answer that, and you'll know what you want to use.
Usually, no. Once Windows Update starts whining for a reboot, it won't allow you to check for or install new updates. It won't work if you download the updates independently and try to install them, coz then the setup will say another update is pending or something to that effect. Which is not the case for Linux. And it may happen that for some updates, after rebooting, Windows will spend time configuring the shit out of them, and then restart again, no user interaction involved. That pisses me off.
While I'm on your side here, it should be more like you CLONING the parent, taking photograph does not give you a copy which does everything the original can do.
But I feel that copyrights and patents are in effect for too long. With rapidly changing tech, even 10 years is too long. There must be a clause that once you copyright a product you must open source it (or its equivalent) at the end of the copyright term, and renewals should not happen.
Not on my laptop it doesn't. And not even after changing the default Login Screen option to Ubuntu Classic. I don't mind Unity so much. I just miss the Places menu (just as with GNOME Shell) and that Alt+Tab always has this delay before the window previews show, so switching windows is PITA. And my laptop runs GNOME Shell and Windows 7 just fine.
Dude, no theory can ever be proven, outside of Mathematics. You can never know if there is an example which might disprove it. You need complete and infinte knowledge to be able to conclusively *prove* anything. The reason why evolution gains more credence is that no one has ever observed a being capable of inteligent design of the level required for our present universe.
Ahem. Star Wars is the new LOTR. Besides, different eras, different styles. Consider Dumas's novels. All the bitng lips and chewing moustaches had me chuckling through the book. But stop and think about it. They are great ways of displaying emotion, especiallly in the theatre. But sucks, and is laughable, in a book. Just coz you or the fella before you doesn't like Tolkien's style doesn't make him any the less, or more, greater.
There's something bit further down about AppX, which is used for development in WP7, being used to mike W8's PDF viewer. Hence the cross-platform thing.
Aw, c'mon. Any user who has only used Linux systems will call the Windows method weird. At least the Linux FIlesystem Heirarchy is logical. Compare that to Windows were you can install suff anywhere, the help could be located anywhere, the config files could be located anywhere. And Synaptic does show a list of installed files. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V do work on Ubuntu, but the Linux versions Shift-Insert and Ctrl-Insert, are of course, better supported. Hell, support for Windows style shortcuts is better in Ubuntu than in OS X, for all the 'just work'-ability of OS X. You do know that disk/partition images need to be mounted or opened as an archive so that you can see what's inside for any OS, don't you? You can't expect to adopt an OS which by it's very character implies a different lifestyle and expect not to relearn stuff. Just because MS does some things the way it does, should everyone else do that? Or because you are used to stuff one way, that should be the only way? There is *no* right way. Variety is the spice of life, friend, and you should have some. And while I'm batting around idioms, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

You are right. Linux is a proper subset of *nix.
