Vista licence: punishment for frequent upgraders?

[Brian]

I think a shockwave flashplayer would make a big difference for web
browsing.

Actually, there is a shockwave flash player available for linux.

Oh piss off with the "Server Operating System" horseshit. You're like a
friggin' pitbull with a limited vocabulary. You just keep repeating the
same stupid drivel over and over. You and the JADass idiot.

I noticed You have seen the light.......... Please post the redundantcies
on my part. Or is it you make things up as you go?

 

[JAD]

Xubuntu is even better.

Freaking salesman......and you had to repeat it

 

[Tomcat (Tom)]

Sure, but it will STILL be a tiny subset. Essentially
because the absolute vast bulk of personal desktops
out there just run what came with the hardware.

And the worst thing that will happen is people will live with their
current XP machine longer than they had planned. I don't think the
Vista Upgrade will be a very big seller. People will just buy a whole
new system when they plan to upgrade to Vista.

 

[John Doe]

I'll keep XP for games. If the day comes when games demand Vista,
I might get one copy for my gaming PC.

What do you do besides play games? What applications?

 

[Mike T.]

I love Kubuntu. LOVE it.

Freaking salesman......and you had to repeat it

That's funny. How can you sell something that is free? Oh wait, I forgot
about ebay. -Dave

In your previous post you asked where you keep repeating the same drivel?
Well that's twice you've accused me of being a salesman for something that
is *free* *free* *free*.

By the way, it'd *redundancies* . It's not *redundantcies* .

Heheh, I guess that's why you don't use Linux. Reading, spelling and
comprehension seems to pose a problem for you.

Well, virtually every Linux distro comes with thousands of
applications of every description. With Windows, you have to buy
most of them separately.

That's just silly.

Windows is good for games. It's a gamer's OS. Linux is ideal for
people who use their computer for non-trivial pursuits. If you
don't care about World Of Warcraft or Half-Life 2, then you don't
need Windows at all.

Engineering, computer aided design -- computer aided manufacturing
(CAD/CAM) is a good counter example. That includes many different
categories. Those are expensive very complex applications. Financial
management is another good counter example. Those are extremely
popular big applications. You don't have to look far. Almost all
viable professional applications run exclusively on Windows. There
are lots more, and then not to mention the biggest of them all,
Microsoft's own Office applications.

I can point you to the source of those applications but you'll
probably reply with the not grown up "I can download all that for
free! It comes free with my Linux distribution!" That nonsense just
makes you look like a Linux Lunatic. Real applications would cost an
arm and a leg if they were available for Linux but they're not.

If people like Linux, they like Linux. If they like Windows, they like
Windows. Same for OS-X. Same for Unix. Same for any OS. If you like it
*and* it does the job you want it to do, then who the hell are you to say
otherwise.

Goddam arrogant troll.

and thats how it all begins new machine packed with OS and apps...... the
Apps will become very attractive.....apps are OS specific.... buisnesses
want the apps........ crosstalk between OS's gets embargoed...(MS word DOC
and wordpad e.g.)..
on and on and on,,,push push push / achieved saturation = longevity of
the OS

Xubuntu is even better.

What about Yoyobuntu and Boogiebuntu, due out next month after
Microsoft is a thing of the past.

Linux is a server operating system. Get over it.

Well, lookee here. Thanks to people like me bitching about the Vista EULA
Microsoft have decided to change the clause that says we can only move
Vista to one new PC.**** you, you are just another useless tool that did
nothing but sit back and call others fools when it was we who made a
differene. **** you nutjob.

who wins in the end?

 

[Crispy Critter]

Most distros that are aimed to be user friendly include some gui tool to
do this for you.

~brian

Oh yea? Where is it in Ubuntu then? There is a gui tool to change the res
but not to set up a new monitor.

 

[Crispy Critter]

That's actually a good thing. Most people prefer their applications to
start and run fast, without crashing often. -Dave

Applications start faster in XP than Ubuntu, they don't crash either. Stick
to the facts. You're like the bullshitter Linux advocates that are always
saying Linux boots faster than Windows too. Which is a complete lie. I use
Linux and Windows but I don't spread bullshit about either OS.

 

[Crispy Critter]

Well, virtually every Linux distro comes with thousands of applications
of every description. With Windows, you have to buy most of them
separately.

Windows is good for games. It's a gamer's OS. Linux is ideal for people
who use their computer for non-trivial pursuits. If you don't care
about World Of Warcraft or Half-Life 2, then you don't need Windows at all.

There are tons of free apps for Windows too. Even the Gimp has a Windows
version.
