Now, truth be told I use Windows, but almost every program I use on windows is open source, and not because I'm a zealot, but because the open source programs work better, are more secure, and easier on the hardware than every commercial alternative. The only things really keeping me on Windows are Winamp and a few games/emulators.

These are all better than their commercial alternatives for a plethora of reasons. Just get GTA:San Andreas to run, and a better winamp, and Windows is dead to me, and about 20 people I know.
I'm sorry, but diet coke tastes like shit. I'm 100% sure I'd invent a different type of soda if all there was was diet coke. Just for myself! And then I'd put the recipe online.... Open source is the future of everything, not just software, get used to it, or get out of the way, but whining about it is stupid and pointless.
Everything above is 100% accurate. Luckily I don't have to wrestle with exchange, and I choose not to wrestle with hotmail, for the most part. Somebody recommended burnatonce over nero, and it looks pretty damn cool. Those other two are linux only.
Yeah, I use filezilla, 7-zip, audacity, and xchat.:D and occasionally ClamAV, though honestly I am pretty good at avoiding virii altogether. Those others I haven't tried, so I will!
real is a very popular cd ripper. cdex is better for this, other programs are better at other media tools (winamp?). so for ripping cds, it's still true cdex > real.
Gaim has smilies! There's even a dev version with voice chat.
most people use outlook just for mail. thunderbird owns it.
I'll try amaroK and k3b, thanks for the tips. see earlier post for my freeciv thoughts.
Freeciv has alot of advantages, but on windows at least, the gui is crappy. windows click over each other at the wrong time, constantly you are clicking a spot to select something and it doesn't happen.... etc.
I've been saying this to everyone for years! The reason I use open source is always because it is BETTER than the other options.
Here's some examples: CDex > Real, etc. Firefox > IE, etc. Gaim > Trillian, aim, msn mess, etc. thunderbird > outlook, etc. pj64, 1964 > real n64 shareaza > kazaa, etc. VLC & MPC > wmp phpbb > vbulletin etc. etc.!!
The only commercial products I still use are: Winamp. It's the best! Nero. It's the best! Dreamweaver. (N|vu is getting closer! Fix the table selection code already!) bsplayer. It's really good for video! Civ 2. Freeciv is still ugly and clunky!
And that's pretty much the whole list of what I use.

Because I'm not moving there. This is bad for humanity as a species. It's SO OBVIOUS!

The book was really dry, but very informative, and from an engineering standpoint fascinating. I recommend it.

If we really want Linux to make inroads on the desktop, it had better play GTA:San Andreas. Or I don't know anyone who will install it.

You don't have MY computer.... :D

Except it will never run windows mobile, because that OS is horseshit. It will probably look more like the Sony Ericsson W8004 303603 7/%5B/URL%5D

Yeah, I have it and use it now and then, but it's still not *quite* as good as winamp for some things..... Excellent advice though, it's close!

Yes, yes, I've tried Ubuntu, and loved it, but until GTA:San Andreas comes out for Debian......

all the other features of wmp are beatin' by other products. for watching video (except windows media, surprise, surprise...) vlc & mpc ARE > wmp
phpBB is really friggin' cool. I'll admit that I haven't admined the other two, but as a user I prefer phpBB, and as an admin, I'm STOKED with phpBB.
real is a very popular cd ripper. cdex is better for this, other programs are better at other media tools (winamp?). so for ripping cds, it's still true cdex > real.
