4 out of 5 Professors say Windies sux

Heddy Seafield

My first day of school at University and already I am feeling ill. I have virus. Windopes PC is dead on arrival. The support lines are jammed. No one want to help and blame me for virus.

Then I saw others use Vector Linux on an old Dell laptop and it has served them quite well over my senior year in secondary school. Now I am at University level as a psych major and I have been instructed by 4 of my 5 professors that Linux is the only acceptable OS for computer, maths, physics and electronics clbutt.

Quantian Linux comes with xmaxima that allows formulas to be symbolically written and solved instantly!! Woweee! Jee wiz! I get my own mathematician to help me with university.

Reasons given for disliking windopes in clbutt room, and I asked in each clbutt, were poor support of Word. Word is not capable of recognising previous versions. Word is crap. It can't open past academic document or produce PDF thesis. that actually opens legacy word documents, and produces thesis quality PDF documents. For diagramming, the draw package is unbelievabe. Its more sophisticated than vision crap, and its free. You can make transparent lines and objects, place connectors on them, and then link them together with arrows, and move objects around whilst those arrows maintain their connection relationships. You can put transparent objects one behind another and get great advanced graphics that windopes just can't even begin to understand.

No wonder windopes is losing ground in universities and everbody adopts open source in droves. The software is free, and so is the source code, making it a worthwhile experience learning both, because nothing becomes obsolete unlike commercial brands that can't seem to support previous versions.
