Linux pushers are hilarious, trying to criticize Microsoft for still supporting Windows XP, which was released 6 years ago, when their hokey linux crap isn’t usually supported even 2 years by the original distributor.

Red Hat Linux was version 7 back in 2001. LOL support for it was cut off along with the whole family of Red Hat Linux in 2004. Yet they try to point the finger at others for limiting support ROFL.

Are you sure you want to stand by this statement?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Linux pushers are hilarious, trying to criticize Microsoft for still supporting Windows XP, which was released 6 years ago, when their hokey linux crap isn’t usually supported even 2 years by the original distributor.^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Linux pushers mostly run a free OS.

If/when microsoft releases a free OS, expect it to have a 3 month support cycle.

Furthermore, AFAIK Red Hat and Novell support their pay-for OS’s(RHEL and SLES/SLED) in roughly the same timeframes that microsoft does.
