I'm clueless? This is a discussion where Microsoft Update was compared in scope to apt-get... why dont you get YOUR facts straight. Microsoft Update is NOT apt-get!
and yes, the Windows install cd and updater doesnt have sed, awk, ssh, LaTeX.... simply proving my point further.
Thanks dumbass.
ps- i'm a Linux user since Kernel 0.99pl27, circa 1992.
My number referred to the total amount of packages in the entire repository available... Not number of packages a user would have installed.
If I had a Windows PC, I can be sure "Microsoft Update" would only update a subset of what it can... Meaning, the operating system, since I would never install Microsoft Office.
The simple point being that comparing Microsoft Update to apt-get upgrade is silly since there is so much more available from a Linux distribution than Microsoft Update could _ever_ provide and update.
CD burning software (k3b)? Email server (courier)? Functional Web browser (firefox)? heh
one step closer, with 15,000 steps to go (the average number of packages in a modern Linux distribution that get updated with apt-get update; apt-get upgrade).
I agree with an earlier poster. I switched because Linux did something Windows couldn't. Kontact is the best thing since sliced bread in my opinion. It does what Exchange does much better, without all of the bloat of Outlook and co$t.
Now don't get me wrong, I know it _can_ run under gcj, sablevm, or whatever your OSS mind desires... but its slightly buggy and it's difficult to include a polished Linux distro.
Here's hoping it WILL be supported sometime soon!!! go-go-gadget-eclipse!
true. i think Exchange is very functional and feature rich... But if I can serve MY needs with Open Source solutions, I do. I only addressed your comment about a lack of security:)
I use Kontact with imaps for my mail, OpenLDAP with SSL encryption for my contacts, and webdavs:// (or fish:// ssh kioslave) for my calendar.ics file. Basically kontact will let you store your ics file in anything supported by kde. I'm using ssh now with fish:// but webdavs:// works just as well, as long as you have apache configured on the server side correctly (took me a bit to get it right)

PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
If you log into Windows with Administrator privileges, you deserve an unbootable system.

Does Microsoft Update upgrade Exchange? No.

wow... i wish i was on the AOL 34 years ago. I bet I could download the whole AOL over my modem in just one minute!
ahh, evil George Bush and his root servers controlling the ENTIRE Inter-Web!
And according to this http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse _project_plan_3_1.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments / Eclipse 3.1 is only "supported" on Sun's NON-FREE Java packages. So therefore you can't include Eclipse since it won't run!

Yeah i hate 20 minutes into the movie feeling like The Predator is behind me in the theater, with phasers set to Kill.

ever heard of ssh, webdavs://, https:/// pop3s, or imaps?
ahhh! Global Warming!!!! AHHHH!!!! Read a book and draw your own conclusions. There is NO data that proves global warming even EXISTS.
