“Windows XP home users should upgrade to Linux”
Yeah. Right. Most home PC users don’t even know what a Folder is, much less how to install an entire operating system, including drivers unique to their hardware PLUS a whole set up applications, particularly a system like Linux that STILL ultimately involves a plethora of text-based configuration information.
That’s pretty much like saying all homeowners should quit buying pre-built houses and build their own houses from scratch.
I have two machines running on my desk. One runs XP and the other runs Ubuntu as a virtual machine host(Hex core and 28GB of ram). The only thing that keeps me from running all Linux all the time is my favorite programming editor PSPad. Although I could probably just run it on a XP virtual machine under Ubuntu. I like having two machines, though, hardware is always breaking.
Lol, people complain of a few things in windows 8 that are annoying and easily fixed and the solution is an OS that has never been mainstream and practically requires one to recompile the kernel on a regular basis as part of its standard operation. This is a friggin joke.
I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and liked it a lot.
I actually however, use Linux. Windows 8.1 is very nice however.
My compliments to Windows this time.
I got a Blue-tooth keyboard and case for a few dollars and I can do most anything with the darn thing for well under $200.
My entertainment tablet.
Can do dos with it in a dos box.
Has office products that can work with MS office and you could just use Google.
I'm going to pick another one up next month I think and those two will be my treat for the year.
I would like to just add a hard drive and try it out as a duel boot computer.
BTTT
Thanks for posting. For later.
