Seems like half the industry's going back to the 80s, and the other half is making things better for users.

Linux is a very good business OS, because it's free and is very powerful, but it just doesn't cut it for the home user.

If you want to call it dummyfied, CiberThug, be my guest. If things are all dummyfied..what do you say we not make them dummyfied? hell, why don't I give my mom some SCSI devices? or, screw it, let's all program in machine code, enough of this high level ****. Why don't we type "win" every time we start up windows, like we did in the 80s? We're trying to make things easier, and the Linux people who are a bit too high up on their ba******* suddenly are making it cool to be difficult. Oh, let's waste some more time typing crap in a command line.

Hmm want to add an appointment to my address book. i'm so high and mighty so I'll type some 5 line command. hey there is no pointing and clicking so now i'm l33t
THat is soo true!. We are pass the day of command lines. It was nice in the 80's but we have to move ahead. I love the Linux lovers. Here @ work we have our LINUX fans too. But they use Windows 2K, Office 2k, IE 5. And they HATE Microsoft.

I would love to see our clients setup linux to run their apps. "Before you add this new hardware you have to recompile your kernel".Windows is just installation friendly. Takes a few minutes and you are up and running.


What has MS innovated? Ever? No one I ask can answer me.
What has linux innovated?... the interface is a COPY of windows, mac os . Why is it a app is coded for Windows, and after a few months you'll find a duplicate programe for Linux.

MS has improved a lot of products (IE). Where is Netscape today? Nowhere... because MS makes a better prodcut. They didn't invent IE, but sure made it great.

How many games are out for LINUX? How many for Windows?
