I agree. One of the screenshots shows quicktime, but I think there are already Linux plugins that will play quicktime movies. And openoffice is better than ms, and can't it open and save as ms office files by now?
the only thing that's a bitch is games...imho.
anyone who buys this is a big blubbering idiotic vagina. seiously.
who wants to pay for a gig of email storage you can get for free (spymac.com) RIGHT NOW. If you're bitching about how great google's search technology is...why not use an intelligent mail client (mutt). then you wouldn't have to worry about going over your quota and you would have "amazing" searching capabilities. don't think it's remote? use ssh. think it's a pain in the ass? so is realizing you're paying 199 for a service that recapitulates long-established email technology.

don't forget to pay your $699 licensing fee you cock-smoking teabaggers
First off, whoever tries nine different distros to get hardware working is an idiot. Different distros all interact with hardware EXACTLY the same way (the kernel and/or added modules). Therefore, if it doesn't work with the kernel on one distro, it won't work on eight others. If you can't figure that out, you don't know enough about linux to use it.
Second, there is plenty of mainstream hardware made by a company called Apple that simply won't work with windows (a lot of which does work with linux)...
Third, there is plenty of tech support for linux if you pay for it, and the exact same is true of windows.
Fourth, what's worse? Paying 20 bucks for a soundcard that works with linux or paying the hundreds it costs to get windows?
Finally, the only troublesome soundcard I've found (using Debian for 5+ years now) is the onboard AC97 with the crappy HP Pavilion (designed for use with WinXP) I bought. Of course systems designed for windows work better with it! If you want to use linux, get a system that will work with it and quit your bitching! Of course there isn't as much for linux because MICROSOFT IS HUGE. Blah blah blah mod -1, redundant.
it's because anything you watch on tv you can download off of the internet anyway. and you can watch it at your leisure too.
plus, we're a generation of high-tech pirates. we don't need any of this tv crap. it slows down our ships.
suse is good, especially for the popularity of linux. i feel like it's just like redhat in that regard, but it's not yet as fucked up as redhat is, so i still like it. plus linus uses suse at home, so it must be good. but gentoo is better.
you confuse open-source with free.
free software is about freedom, open source is not necessarily. essentially free software is a subset of open-source software. not all open source people agree with rms about freedom (of software).
yeah, redhat is a totally REAL distro. i mean, it's almost as REAL as WINDOWS.
what an idiot.

redhat->debian->slackware->gentoo
the thing for me is that gentoo has really good documentation (and the forums kick ass) and i feel like when i use it i learn more about linux than when using other distros. also, the benefits of having a source based distro are great (but you can find that elsewhere). the package management is awesome (but you can find that elsewhere). i think i like gentoo so much because it's the merging (pun intended) of great features of other distros into one kickass thing.

actually, in my experience, you lose your geekness first, then you get sex.

you should've known we're all pagans and google is god, but only the god of finding information (porn).
hahaha, yes yes, that was my plan!
