but what you gave as a reason is also a problem. If I buy a mac I can't run windows so unless they bring the game to macos there's _no_ way i can play the game. If I buy a PC it already comes with windows. Why port to linux or any other OS on the PC if you could still play that game on Windows? Developers will be lazy and only do Windows because all PC's come with it.
it's the year 2000 and people are still using DOS junk? Please. DOS isn't worth the tons of money that Caldera was asking for. Nevertheless it's still a product that makes money for Caldera and MS dumped on it so it's good that Caldera got the 150 million
man what the heck is your problem? He just said that the stack was being rewritten for the next release. Unless you've written a network stack from scratch, please go to Hell. Thank you
I have to admit that the main reason why I don't have a DVD player is because unless the star wars trilogy is on it there's really no point. So I guess I'll have to wait until all the movies come out or play any rented dvds on my PC
Bill Gates didn't create Windows. Windows is popular because he helped sell it. Bob Young didn't do anything to create Linux-but he helped sell it through Redhat. Likewise, Linus may not be the key engineer in transmeta but once again he'll help sell it (i.e people will want transmeta because of the Linus connection) ugh I don't want to turn into Berst anymore
we'll soon see if Win2K lives up to the hype. If it's really stable and delivers comparable (if not better) performance, it's going to be really hard to convince people to switch to linux.
well the best test for BeOS uptime would be it doing real work such as maintaining a theme park http://www.lcsaudio.com/installations.html (sidenote: wow! I didn't know Hayden Planetarium will use BeOS. My brother wanted to go there on a date only to find that it was closed for renovations)
if you want an open source game, look at Quake 1. Despite the provacative headline, only peripheral parts of UT is being opened up. But to say that this is truly revolutionary is a bit too much. No major game company will open source their latest games.
maybe what you said is true in your basement with you and your computer with no life in the _real_ world but it's certainly not true in the US where 95% believe in God (including Einstein who wrote papers arguing the existence of God). Maybe what you said would've made sense in the 19th century but it's certainly not true today. Time to face the real world.

anyone trying to make money by selling something anyone can get for free is just as bad as LinuxOne.
No it doe not. I can see the deskbar. On the other hand it's not Simcity either-he probably was confused with Civ CTP
oooh "Hanna and Caldera" cartoons or "Caldera the Barbarian" or just "Caldera and the Calderians from planet Caldor"

E-picture 2 is out for BeOS
I know for a fact that Deutchebank (probably a typo since I'm not German :) uses OS/2
Just because Redhat Linux is GPL doesn't mean that software running on top of it has to be.

you think that the open source reverse engineered drivers for linux are better? cool

windows has themes too. www.customize.org
I couldn't agree more :)
if it was simply because of the license then how come more people use apache (bsd license) than any other GPL server?
both AMD and Motorola should have multi-core technology in their next gen cpus
umm xig isn't GPL either
it will be easier for xig to learn from xfree than the reverse
also winfiles.com uses apache
but www.amazon.com does use apache. I guess that proves apache is up to the job after all.
