    All you need to understand is that Linux is a terrible operating system for nerds.

    Bzzzt....WRONG!

    It's pointless bitching about topics you have fcuk all
    knowledge of in fairness.

    If you presented even a shred of objective reasoning for your slander
    it might justify your "Linuz su4ks Lulz" crusade. Use what you want:pac:

    I hope you didn't take my self bashing literally.
    Figure of speech and all that.

    Results seem nicely balanced...

    Nope, Sorry. I'm not wrong. Linux is terrible and vastly inferior to Windows and in some cases even Mac OS (terrible also) too.


    Stop being trying to like Linux for the sake of it. Take that chip off your shoulder and admit that Microsoft are more creative and build better products.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but Microsoft has never been truely innovative.
    Microsoft is great at making money. Not so much for innovation.

    The company exists to make money by re-implementing existing technology
    and abuse open standards in the process. Windows takes plenty of concepts
    from Unix. Ever wonder why web hyperlinks use forward slash notation? Unix.

    Name one Microsoft product that is actually "innovative" in that it
    fundamentally changed computing for the greater good.

    I count zero so far.

    Microsoft have pretty much set the standard with their innovative products. Don't know what you're talking about. Linux is just a open source clone and will never be better than the real thing.

    What innovative products?
    They "set the standards" because they have a monopoly on the desktop.

    Name a few please. I am not referring solely to Linux, but to open source at large.
    Linux is just a natural evolution of open source principles/design.

    Your argument stands piss weak at the moment.

    Nah, linux is a cheap clone for nerds.

    How is it cheap? You aren't even listening to the more important
    point I am trying to make. Name a product. You can buy Linux off
    commercial vendors you know.

    Why doesn't core net infrastructure run on Windows server and the like? It's not purely because of cost.
    Hotmail ran on FreeBSD servers for years. I donate to Linux projects when I can, and I would glady pay
    for support if I actually needed it. Red Hat is a pretty profitable company.

    Rofl Linux is for nerds.

    I take it your sole intention is to have this thread locked. You have failed.
    Now if you want to actually discuss this further. Shoot ahead!

    90% of the world uses Windows for a reason. People who contribute to Linux are communists.

    Answer my above question please. Commies ehhh? I suggest you read up
    a bit more on the topic: Link

    Some companies do charge for their Linux products.
    "Free Software" is not synonymous with no charge.
