Could someone tell me how Windows is better 13755
DFS Your dodging the question like your in 'bullet-time'. I've tried. I've got *one* 'Windows game'. This...

LOL, no thanks.

You'd be surprised! It is great to be able to ssh into my home computer from my laptop.

Actually, nope. Just turbotax.

I don't see how that's possible. In fact, I like the way my Linux machine works with digikam than with iPhoto on the mac. My scanner and photo printer work greatly. How could they work better?

I'm seeing the word "racist" thrown around a lot here. I'd question people's understanding of what "racism" truly means. In Debt Management training school, we had many heated discussions (part of...

I'm not so sure I agree with that. I should have the right to modify what runs on *MY* system.

I should not, in fact, be able to resell additional licenses to something that I did not create, but I should, and normally do, have the right to resell a license I properly paid for.

Take for instance, a school text book. I am allowed to modify it, i.e. write notes in it, and I am allowed to resell the book when I want.

Microsoft's EULA forbids the right of first sale, a right as a US citizen I should enjoy.

Bzzt, wrong. Copyright is pretty clear about my rights, the EULA seeks to limit them beyond what I consider reasonable. That's one of the reasons I refuse to use Windows and why I think M$ is bad.

That's sort of an interesting position, I have the right to examine their source code under "discovery" in a law suite. The right to "reverse engineer" has been the subject of debate, with courts leaning toward allowing it under "fair use."

LOL, yea, you don't "have" to upgrade, but if you want things to work with Windows, you need pretty recent versions. What comes out today that runs on Win98? Or on Win2K?

"substandard universe?" what kind of poo are you smoking. Anyone using Linux for any length of time knows that the average quality of application is much higher than that of Windows.

Nope. Consistency to what? A mere preference for style. FUD. Hah! Hardly.

A modern Linux distro supports more peripherals out of the box than Windows XP.

Nonesense. Linux has more and better applications than Windows.

Games are for children.

Now, I know you are smoking crack. Name one, just one, development paradigm that is on Windows and not Linux.

Easier is a matter of opinion.

You must be smoking crack again. You need to get a comparison chart. Take a look at www.gnu.org, kde, gnome, and on and on. There are so many programs for Linux-UNIX the numbers are amazing.

Don't forget freedom, control, stability, and security.

The occasional app locking up happens on every platform, how the platform handles such an event is the important thing.

Funny how no one else seems to have the problems you claim to have.
