Come over to the Linux fold and see what the excitement is about.
Why not give Ubuntu or Gentoo Linux a try and free yourself from the
confines of Windows crapola. Come and compyle a kernel or 2 with
us.It's fun, productive and you just might learn something other than
pointy clicky.

Since there is no such thing as a "64 byte version", you obviously don't
know what you are talking about.

Now you can join Alias.

B'bye!

The point is to use an OS that works. Ubuntu is an INFERIOR
attempt at
an OS written by geeks for geeks. Most people who try Ubuntu,
remove it
from their computers within hours or days after the install

look back.

Remember that Ubuntu is FREE and is still on less than one
percent of
the desktops out there. That should tell you all you need to
know about
it.


And the nymshifter does his one trick again.
Ubuntu is total and complete garbage, just like Linux in general.
Most people who manage to even get it installed without destroying
their Windows data in the process remove Ubuntu quickly because
they
realize how much it sux. Linux is crap software and the public have
made their choice and it's Windows. Windows7 is the best selling
initial launch product that Amazon has ever had. Linux? you
would be
hard pressed to find 10 people outside of a geek convention that
use
it.
it is sad for the linux zealots when in this day and age you can
not even give a product away for free. as a server os it is very
good but it is a joke to think that it is a good consumer desktop
os. it is a nice toy for geeks and lusers to play with in moms
basement but anybody that believes that every day users are going
to use this cluster**** mess of a geek toy is either stupid or
delusional or completely out of touch with reality.

if you gave away old cheese people would line up to get some. but
you can not even give linux away for free. these linux nuts need
to wake up and open their eyes and catch a breath of reality. if
people would rather pay big bucks for windows or macos than waste
their time with your product then this should tell you something.
instead of doing something about it you all sit around and do
nothing but whine about windows. absolutely pathetic.






Too bad for you that your entire post is bull****, ill informed
opinions, MS FUD and LIES.


too bad for you that real world consumers have rejected your little
geek toy and continues to reject it no matter how much you cry and
whine.





Another lie. Oh well, try to have a good day anyway.

It's not a lie you asshole. It is FACT. You ignore fact each and
every time.


No, it isn't a fact. You *wish* it were.

Ubuntu has been free for years yet hasn't taken over lead on the desktop.
The above statement is FACT you IDIOT.


So what? It takes time for people to realize they're being had. Look at
the health insurance in your country. People have been being ripped off
for decades yet Cigna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, et al are still number
one. The tea baggers who LIE and spread FUD are just like Microsoft and YOU.


You just wish that people would embrace Ubuntu but they don't.


They do.

Ubuntu
doesn't run the popular software programs out there.


Yes, it does.

People also don't
want to learn cryptic commands to get that ****ty Ubuntu to do anything.


No cryptic commands needed like chkdsk /f. I haven't used a terminal in
ages.

Oops.


Yeah, you're one big oops all right.

You mean like WPA and WGA? Or are you referring to the dumbed down Windows
Media Player that is riddled with DRM? Most home users can get more than
what they want with Linux.


Yea. If they use Ubuntu, most people would get more than they bargained
for. They would get trouble. Ubuntu is **** for a reason. It doesn't work
with most popular applications or web sites. Oops.


Web sites are generally not platform specific.

"applications" would be part of that "vendor lock" that others have mentioned.

Got anything besides an obvious falsehood and obsessing over Brand X rather
than actually getting something done?

No. What's really sad is when Lemmings can't articulate a reason to use

Perhaps you can explain why Windows 7 market share has risen to 5 times
that of Linux in 1/38th of the time?



This is what's getting my employer to upgrade:
