Too bad most of the copies of Windows 7 are still sitting on the shelf
either in a box or in a machine that hasn't been sold yet. Cocaine
dealers make a lot of profit. Your ****ing point?


The ****ing point, as you so elegantly put it, is Ubuntu is never going
to challenge Microsoft - ever. Chrome might or Safari. Anyway, Ubuntu is
very Windows-like in appearance and the way it works and therefore it's
only suitable for novices. Geddit? Ask any Linux geek if they would
use it?

Time will tell, won't it? If you're wrong will you apologize?


I will... but just as an aside, Open Source is usually free, but
donations are welcome, and user development and participation
encouraged. So, do you pay the licence fee or send a donation? Or do you
just pimp off other peoples work and ideas like most Linux users do!!

I donate money. I'm not a programmer so I obviously don't help in
development. I do promote it ;-)

Chrome is a cloud-based OS from what I understand.

Safari is a web-browser.

Does that mean Windows, which is very Windows-like, is only
suitable for novices ?

Pssst.....ALL GUI OS's are Windows like....whether it be
Windows itself, the KDE desktop package, the GNOME desktop
package, Xfce, E, etc., or any of the pre-Windows GUI's like
Commodore's GEOS, or the Zenith one that MS copied to make
Windows 1.0, they all show a window, they all have some way to
launch programs, they all have a 'X' button in the top-right,
they all have a 'control panel', etc.

You'd have to be a complete retard to be a Word user, and not
be able to figure out any other GUI word processor in like 5
minutes on another OS.....if you can use Photoshop, you can
use GIMP. You pick command's and tools from a menu, and apply
them. The interface for GIMP may suck, but it still does all
the same stuff.



You can use Photoshop but why would you want to use GIMP?

I thought the whole point of Linux was to be completely different to Windows
with jargon that is deliberately contrived simply to make it appear
different to Windows, which many hard-core Linux developers openly despise.

Three years ago you thought Ubuntu would take over like wildfire. Guess

Windows will still be here and going strong long after you are gone! why you

your wishful thinking about ubuntu which will not catch on just like we have

It's a great OS right now. Too bad you're too stupid to take advantage of
it and I mean really stupid as Ubuntu is more user friendly than Windows
7.

Except for the part about disconnecting your windows drive so Ubuntu can
update itself! My god you are a ****ing lunatic!!!

BULL****! Windows 7 is being sold by the millions each week and Ubuntu
is being used by the hundreds each month. Oops.



More beer is sold than 25 y.o. Scotch. More doesn't mean better, moron.
People are getting sick and tired of having to pay people to run
Antimalwarebytes and Superanitspyware or, worse, reinstall Windows for
them so when this new edition of Ubuntu comes out, you will see something
that you will not like at all. You and the other Windows techs will be out
of business and you in particular will well deserve it.

You're behind the times. Macs, PCs and Linux can and do use GUIs. Linux
isn't just for geeks any more than Windows is.

The purpose of Linux was to be a free OS.

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/rhasan/linux/

Linux itself *IS* different from Windows....a lot different.

Linux is *NOT* the GUI. That is a Linux desktop package.

The GUI portion you see is developed by other groups. The big
ones are KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and Enlightenment.

They each have their own features, and their own 'look'.
