I've seen many many posts criticizing Windows/Microsoft here and there in this website. I can't believe that a few people can make such loud noises--same people post the same thing over and over again here and there in this website. :D nononsense, you're being the top anti-windows poster of...

I think this thread should be focus on Upgrade to Longhorn Windows. If you guys like Linux and have some Linux questions, go create a new thread!

How come that you spend more time downloading patches? windows updates are auto, and they come once in a blue moon. :p I guess Linux has more frequent updates than Windows, and that's the point people go for Linux, quick fixes.

What was the problem when u run vmware under linux?

My bad... thanks for enlightment :) Have done a bit research on the topic, but no text confirmed it was called "window" by Xerox or Apple. Did they?

You screwed up your XP because you don't have enough ability to take care of it! Bad users always blame tools. :D

Perfect liar. How about symbian, dr.dos, windows 95, ce, me, embed xp, 2k+3, vista?

This guy never use Windows, I think. Which microsoft software except the Windows OS need you to input activation key? If you reinstall your Win everyday, you can call it a hassle. My XP was installed two years ago and now running without a glitch. Ah! maybe you own crappy old Win9x or 2K...

Thanks anyway :D I hope there is such a distro I can recommend it to my friends. Hey, there are a lot of people here who need free OS.

Then show me a distro which I can install most applications without bugging with shell script or terminal.

I'm talking in a general way, not just refer to my experience with Linux. :) Most people like doing simple thing in a simple way, not to bug them with a full page of instruction just install software.

I don't think most human can do that. More than half of world population cannot even use keyboard. Some people cannot even find Terminal. Sometimes the simplest copy-n-paste task is clueless to newbies. :p I know because I used to work as an computer administrator in a company. Everyday...

The most noticable reason that Linux or Unix cannot win Windows in desktop world is because the installation of most program doesn't make sense to human! (instructions say open up terminal, run the shell/perl script). After the installation, "where are the installed programs?" most people say...

My bad... I meant QuantDevelop is extremely expensive. :D

Not only Linux guys are trying to design their interface to looks similiar to that of Windows, but hilariously they also make use the term "window" that brought up by Microsoft at first place. Remember that MS Windows means containing more than one window.

Here Feespire a free clone version of Linspire is available at http://freespire.jasp.com/

Linspire, costs 50 bucks, is just an ordinary Linux with windows-like interface. There are plenty of free linux distros that also has interface similiar to windows. With Linux, almost anything is free!

StrategyRunner is extremely expensive!

I agree. Even with 50:1 leverage, Oanda is still the best platform. Having checked their API documation and design pattern, I can say their software engineers are super talented!

Upgrade to Vista? I'm not going to upgrade, but buy a new box with Vista! I wanna make sure I have all tools in my toolbox such as all windows, a few linux distros, and a mac.
