obviously you have a vested interest in Microsoft. If you use IE you're not working for Microsoft for free. You're working for them and you have to pay them! That's why IE won't come to linux-because they want you to buy Windows. Anyway get a clue (can't expect microsofties to but there's always a small small chance) -this contest has nothing to do with mozilla.org let alone Netscape.
the main reason is that there is no mac competition. If you really want something that runs macos then you have to go to Apple and if they screw up-you're screwed. But the unix/BeOS/Windows user isn't dependent on one hardware company. So if one pc company has a bad rep, you just get a pc from someone else
well if you're only going to use Corel Linux and Corel's office products it will be easy. But if you want other apps-especially those designed for the gnome environment that Redhat is pushing (or just plain x apps), then you can't expect everything to be so consistent.
that's the problem with you guys. You think you have a good thing with open source -and it is. It helps increase the quality of certain things. But you have an agenda with the GPL and if a company like Sun doesn't subscribe to every detail of your "revolution" then they are evil. Well guess what? Sometimes it's better to listen to your customers and deliver on quality products instead of some kind of ideological revolution. There are many open source products that are just crap. That's the real enemy to open source. If I wanted crap I'd just use Microsoft instead of going out of my way to use a different platform that gives me the same junk. Open source is just a means to the goal of better software. If Sun can achieve this in another way then that's fine by me.
unfortunately, AMD refers to their cpu's as Microsoft Windows compatible processors. Of course, that's to distinguish between some of their other chips that don't run windows but still...
but that's what nvidia is doing. You can have enough 'room' for 40000 fps in q3 but a game with lots of polygons will still be as slow as a snail. Not so with the geforce
Yeah it's pretty fast enough if all you do is browse the web and use a word processor but if you are interested in rendering 30 fps 3D with at least a million polygons in each frame, it's not going to be enough. I'm pretty sure an athlon+geforce combination (or even intel) would do much better
It's not about AMD or Intel or G4 or multiple cpu's or better compilers. Memory comes in chips too and if there is a limit in the number of transistors you can put on a chip, there will also be a limit to how much memory you can have. Only better process technology can lead to more memory on a chip-not fancy architectures or compilers.

I second that and will submit this story to BeOS news sites in the hopes that people will be interested in a BeOS port.
It doesn't run on BeOS either.
and neither is AmigaOS. You could make the same arguments for opening BeOS source too

I think I broke my wookiee
guess we'll just have to wait for Microsoft to give linux a decent office suite. yeah right
yeah like major banks and company databases are running off those little thin clients. Come on.
Apple wouldn't be able to get away with this if we still had the mac clones.
But even if they do, do you really think anyone will trust them again?
I'm sorry but Apple won't win any points from me for using a unix kernel. Real-time is the way to go.
so instead you're paying intel because usb will still take a cpu hit.
besides, if you want "themes" you can have them in windows too. Take reveal for example. http://reveal.unpaved.com/

I hate to admit it...but it's threads like these that make me happy I'm not using linux right now

I searched for 'more evil than satan' http://www.google.com/search?q=more+evil+than+sata n and found disney.com listed.
I'm sure every advertising agency in the world wants it too
