I would probably tell her the same thing. In fact it would be hard not to laugh at her when everything gets all messed up. Especially if she blames you for stuff when she is the real moron. Wow what a lamer. Too bad she is your girlfriends mom. I hope your girlfriend has a clue.
Isn't funny how what goes around comes around. Is it just me or is this the funniest news of he day? My conspiracy theorist mind just can't help but thinking that somehow M$ will find some way to get this lost cash back into the SCO warchest at some point in the future. I know that Linux may not be the biggest desktop threat, but I'm pretty sure that Bill Gates & Co. hate Linux like nothing else. How do you use monopolistic buyout power against a OSS? This must be the best business riddle posed to Bill yet.
Like it really matters. I don't really care what happens to my computer at work. I didn't buy it. My company did. I'm smart enough to figure out how to use what they give me to use. I know this thought process will disturb a lot of folks, but that is just the way I feel. At home I will never use M$ junk. And let's face it- at the very least it is overpriced. It doesn't always work like it should for what they charge. It is just a treadmill/moneypit/sick joke. As long as Linux has little support for games that run natively(I'm not talking Wine support) then very few people will try to run it at home. No killer app=Small home user base. This article was only good in that it re-emphasized to IT staff everywhere that Linux desktops are getting better. It could be on the desktop now but I don't think it will. And do you really care?
Just stay in your Windoze world. I'm sure glad I don't think like you. I know this is pretty much flamebait but I'm tired of pointless/meaningless arguments like that. "I sorta tried this thing once, but not really so I didn't like it."
Whatever.
es with XP when I was still in the dark enough to use it. It wouldn't support my "legacy" mouse. The funny part of that is that it was an old M$ mouse. I got a new logitech IR mouse that owns under Linux. People just hate change is all.
No you are not missing the point. I never understand why people constantly say that there aren't enough programs available for Linux on the desktop. I also wonder why less than 3% of desktop users run Linux. I know, I know... Not enough games. Is it really that hard for game companies to have linux versions? They wouldn't have to shrink wrap them. Linux users are smart enough to know how to download and install software for their platform of choice. I will always remember and love the day I left M$ behind in favor of real computing environment. People have to be stupid to continue shelling out exhorbitant amounts of dough for such a crappy product as Windoze. I don't care if I do sound like a zealot.
