Doesn't matter, really, VDK... you're not persuaded by such arguments; you'll just dismiss me as another kook as you have in the past.
Well, every day, I use Windows 7 and Windows XP, three different flavors of Linux, one of Unix, and two versions of Mac OS X. Every day. At work and at home.
I LIKE freedom of choice. I like having alternatives that can address different problems better.
So please, do enjoy your sanctioned and approved version of Windows 8.1 in peace, I'll try not to trouble you with alternative thoughts again, difficult though it is.
:)
that’s fine.
I’ve used Linux in the past, and realized that I value my free time more than fixing 1990s style issues like getting printers and video drivers to make my computer work, or looking for software repositories, or dealing with Kernal panics, or have to edit x.org files.
