How come I see computer stores selling computers with Ubuntu or Mint
preloaded? How come you LIE? Why are you afraid of Linux? If it's

Dell have dropped Ubuntu on their PCs on the net since the Summer. As
they say....

I wonder what MS did to get that.

Only in your little, MS hated filled mind, did they do that. Which has
nothing to do with reality.
You're sick!


“Ubuntu is safer than Windows,” said Dell in an advice document. “The
vast majority of viruses and
spyware written by hackers are not designed to target and attack Linux.



They're right about that and the rest are targeting Apple.

He's pulling figures out of his head again, with not a lick of evidence

Hook, line and sinker like I thought you would take it. Hey don't get
your panties wet now. There is a new Linux coming soon.

I'm waiting for Unity. To which user choice are you referring?


Granted this has been happening for a while, but they've decided to make
it 'more user friendly and simple' by removing options that were useful.
It really annoyed me when they removed the screensaver options for
example.

Which options? That they have a lot less screensavers than they used to
have?

Just, where did you say he was pulling those figures from? The numbers I
watch would tend to indicate that the number of installs tends to
fluctuate by a few million over the the course of a year (between 15%
and 20% of the total linux installs) In other word people install it,
play with it a bit, and then discard it. Perhaps it's due to free time
during the summer, or there was a new release with all the usual blather
about how much easier this new version was to use or whatever. But the
upshot is that there is a pretty insignificant following, and they seem
to think that they are entitled to use the Windows7 group as
alt.c.o.l.a. But it just proves how stupid some of them are.

Too bad all the above is a lie but, hey, it's your post. Get used to
Linux discussions here. If you want MS only, go to their groovy web

LOL! Hey, don't hold that paperclip in your hand to hard there. You
got nothing to zip up.

There is a sucker born every minute and you are one of them. The
problem with you is that you are a llort, a responder, and you can
reverse spell the word.

Your second problem is that you have been punked by Linux. You have
been punked and played so hard by Linux, that you are willing to
troll it.

That is part of it, but other things have gone missing too. It got to
be enough where it ****ed me off enough to sign off of it, haven't
looked at it again in a while. Not that there isn't plenty of other
choices out there.

I find both Ubuntu and Mint to be better than ever even with GNOME. I
especially like 10.10.
