XGL Linux gets a 3D desktop 3389
For the mentally challenged (important points highlighted): "Windows XP Professional, said Symantec, stays safe just one hour and 12 seconds, while the Windows 2000 Server...
More importantly, why did his *first* set of posts almost universally cast aspersions against linux? He came to a linux advocacy group, presumably as a linux user, and started dissing linux. Why doesn't that seem to fit?

He gives what sounds like a problem (bad login) and hopes it pbuttes, when the problem he claims to be having should be a 404, not a login problem. How is this possible?
I would have bought some of the early stuff. Maybe. But after several nasty posts, plus the atbreastude, plus the unverifiable and incomprehensible claims of problems, I'm not buying any of it. I suspect if linux is installed (something I have doubts about), the purpose was-is to lend credibility for his routine of being an butt.
It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
