you know what pisses me off about the Linux ppl, is because Linux was created from a version of unix around 14 years ago ... somehow they still believe it's related.
Windows Originated from DOS, look at it today!
Unix is far more envolved and one HELL of alot better Operating System; you don't believe me, use MacOSX then tell me that Linux is better.
Linux != Unix || != Irix || != Solaris
yeah they all started from the same pool, but they're all very very different operating systems.
Linux is for kids imo, always has been always will be.
You want real Operating Systems; Unix, Irix, Windows and AmigaOS...
Sure you'll get Linux fans sitting there going
'Oh but Linux isn't attacked by virus or hacked, and Linux you can access everything past a GUI'
Yeah, maybe they should sit down one day and actually use the other Operating Systems past thier UI's eh; Windows has a build in command build environment which allows you to recode and reshape it on the fly; you can also emulate any other bitspace or processor type during the build environment.
The home version may only work on IA and x86; however you can get other version which will run on ANYTHING. Windows Embedded and CE for example run some of the worlds move complex small devices, from TeVo to Cellphones.
At the end of the day one company is going to back another, but quite frankly Linux has been and always will be the OS of hackers and hypocrits.
They bitch about how there is no software available and they've gotta use Windows because all thier software is available.... however the world BEST software is actually multiplatform and i dont' see any of the bitchers doing a damn thing to actually gain Linux' momentum.
Those who do work on software for Linux rather than being original and creating thier own style; what do they do, they copy Windows.
They're not copying the Mac, they're not copying IBMOS, they're copying Windows...
They want Linux to be widely accepted; Fine them actually hide that complex side of Linux which you claim is the best part so that your adverage Joe doesn't accidentally recode his Kernel and fry his CPU; Majority of people don't need power, they need ease of use!
Sorry but considering as most Servers run on UNIX or WINDOWS SERVER, Linux is usually only put on the 'cheapo' sites.
OpenSource is fantastic too isn't it... you can see EXACTLY where all the security flaws are; really if you making a virus what the hells the point in only affecting like 2% of the entire worlds computing population, even more over where the hell is the challenge if you know exactly what security is there to bypass??!
Windows is actually a challenge, plus the fact that Microsoft is the 'Darth Vader' of the software universe probably helps motives more.
you dont' get brownie points for hacking Linux, in-fact you'd probably be kicked out of your '1337 4 |>\/mm315' club.
... ...
you wanna know why i hate Linux so much?
because the only thing you hear from a Linux user's mouth is how crap Windows is - knowing full well they either use Windows more than they use Linux or they've not used Windows since 3.11!
And they rag on Windows for what reason? Cause Linux is better?
It doesn't have anywhere close to as many features; It is far from user friendly; It is even further from driver compatibility (or even inter-distro compatibility); You can't use it after a night on the piss just to check emails becuase you actually need atleast one braincell firing just to get anything working; the free distributions are HUGE and don't even have 1/4 of the features of the paid version (which have quite length Licenses just like Windows... not to mention FAR more expensive!!); the list is endless.
