Why are you trolling here ?

Should I put it in a few Linux groups, then?

If you want.....I don't care.

My reply was prompted by your interjecting "Linux" into
it, and how it's OK for people that champion Windows
bringing up Linux in this group, but not for those that
champion Linux to bring up Linux here.


Don't think you've got the hang of this troll lark. Do you
think Windows user in here are in anyway interested in
Linux?


Sure....why not ?

You think everyone is that closed-minded ?

So, what do you and your ilk get out of preaching about
Linux in here?


I don't know what you my 'ilk' is, and I don't 'preach' about
anything here or anywhere.


You're not going to change anyone's habits
because we all sing from the same hymn sheet.


(Whatever that's supposed to imply.)

So, one
wonders what your motives are?


I have no motives other than killing time until I decide to do
something IRL that's far more fulfilling.

Right now I'm contemplating going out and working on the 1965
Chevy Van in my driveway....(To be more accurate, working on
building the motor that goes inside the 1965 Chevy van in my
driveway.)


Fair enough. Nice to see a tradesman-type person tinkering around with
his van engine just like Linux geeks like to tinker with their O/S. I
like doing something useful with my time like going to the theatre,
concert or opera.

Well...the work on the van is far more than 'tinkering'. It's
more like completely rebuilding. The engine is brand new and
half assembled. The body's got a good 100 hours or more of body
work I will need to do. It's pretty rough, but solid, if that
makes sense. The reason I bought this one was it was cheap, it
was complete....all glass, light lenses, etc., those small parts
that might be hard to find for a 40+ YO vehicle, and it was
local. Old vehicles are hard to come by in NY. I just saw Ford
Maverick on the road last week. I think the last time I saw a
Maverick actually going down the road here was ten years ago.

I use Windows and I'm interested in Linux. I learned about Ubuntu in an
MS Vista newsgroup.

You only speak for yourself and quite badly I might add.

I appears you are the only one who "took the bait"...hahaha!

You are just telling us what we knew all along; Windows is for
professionals and business people; Linux is for enthusiasts and
jobless nutters;

Ah, but "it" already IS with embedded and MOBILE applications. Kicking
A** so much so, MS is doing their usual, can't beat 'em so try and sue
'em bit. Hahaha! Looser tactics at its best. As for Linux desktop, that
simply can't be accurately measured, no matter how bad either side would
like to prove it. So spare me the guesstamated BS, it just can't be
done. Anyone with 1/4 of a brain can figure that out, yet the Zealots
try, and ultimately fail. (But not in their minds as usual) ..Naturally
denying the hard cold facts, that a free open source product user base
could never be accurately measured is the norm. Hilarious!

Of course Win7 has kicked butt! I pre ordered a copy myself after being
offered a "deal" for being a tester. (Turned out to not be all that
great of a deal lol ..Typical) After all the torchure of Vista, and/or
getting tired of XP, of course Win7 has done so well, a no-brainer
really. That surely doesn't make it the be-all. It just means hold-outs
and disgruntled Vista users decided to move on, that's all. Whoopty-do!
You Zealots trying to make a big deal out of the obvious just cracks-me-up.

G'day
