Typical personal attack instead of admitting the fact that a six year old version of Windows, that people choose to pay for, still beats your very latest free version Linux in the "super cheap pc" market of all markets. It's an irony apparently beyond your ability to comprehend, much less explain, so all you can come up with is a few cheap personal shots instead. Typical, as I said, but I'm all I'm trying to do is point out a few facts to you, when you're the starry eyed dreamer here, not me. If your free Linux can't even beat Microsoft at the super cheap low end, where exactly do you think it's going to beat it?
You don't understand me, GE. I don't care if XP outsells Linux in the EEE-PC. Get it now???
What are the sales figures so far for XP vs. Linux on the EEE-PC? I expect XP to outsell Linux eventually, but I don't think XP's commercially available (pre-installed) on it yet. Right?
Anyway...
It's not "my Linux", as you claim. I'm not humping Linux -- at the moment most of my own workstations are Macs, because they're serving my needs best. I also use Linux, and I also use Windows. Next month it might be something else. I pick the right OS for the work I'm doing at the time.
I'm not a fanboi of -any- OS. I use what makes the most sense for what I'm doing.
You, on the other hand, are clearly a fanboi of Windows, and probably a Microsoft shill. But I don't care about that. What annoys me is that you are unfortunately also a boring troll (yes, that is a personal attack, which would be unfair if it weren't true).
Why?
Because you keep writing things saying I'm maniacal about Linux. I'm not. I like it, and I use it where it makes sense. I'd like to see it succeed, which is also how I feel about Macs, Windows, and anything else competing in the marketplace.
You, on the other hand, want to see Linux die, because you have a political obsession about it, centering on its origin and manner of development.
I say again: Your obsession with trashing Linux is stupid and sick. Get over it, and write again when you have something interesting to say.
Bye.
