You know I have a dream, I dream that one day you people will see how pointless your arguments here are. Yes, every, and I mean EVERY OS has its ups, and its downs. That includes windows, linux, and FreeBSD (you see, atleast I'm not ashamed to admit it). People use the OS they use because its right for them. And you use the OS you use because its right for you. Now I might not like your OS, and you might not like mine, but that doesn't mean we should sit here and debate on which is better, because that is absurd. There is no OS that is better than any other in and of itself. There is only an OS that is better for me, and one that is better for you. We should all just accept this and quit the bullshit in here. I mean, I have come to the realization that, no matter what I say in here, it isnt gonna make all the windows users immediately go start installing linux, nor vice versa. What everyone should do is document their own OS, and stop worrying about someone elses. That way when joe blow comes along, and has never used a pc before, he can make a decision about what OS he should try first from viable discussions about the OS from the people that know it best, the ones that actually use it. All everyone is doing, is wasting there time that they could be using to fix the problems with their own OS, instead of flaming everyone else's.
I just want to ask all the people in here whining about an article putting windows down one question:
Why?
I'm sure everyone in here has heard the same old arguments about the superiority over this OS over that OS till they're about ready to hire 3rd world country guerrilla fighters. So, why do we continue this. I'll admit, some linux users (which I am) fire right back when M$ makes some comment about linux. But frankly I don't care. The fact is this: I WAS a windows user, but I found an OS that I is better for me. And I can guarantee you that happened with a lot of people in here too. So what can you gain by coming in here and promoting your OS? I'll tell you, not jack. I wouldn't have stopped using windows if I didn't have a good reason, and neither would the rest of free OS users. Why would we go from something that we like that is free, to something we don't like that costs a buttload? WE WON'T SO GET A LIFE AND GO ARGUE WITH SOMEONE WHO CARES!
