Don't worry about it Paul,
Wait till SCO gets through with the LinuxFuxs. ;-)

I can hardly wait until it's over. I wanna see what new slogan and
excuse you Micro-Softies are going to invent to explain why Billy and
the Buttcrusts are still worried about linux.
 
Show me where in the stores that you can buy something other
than M$.
I sure don't see anything else in our town. Nothing but M$
PCs.


On the store shelves... show me the choice. All I see is
software written for M$ windows o/s. I don't see any
alternatives in the stores. I am aware of what is out there
only because I went to vendor schools for the Gov. The rest
really don't have any idea.

I heard that Walmart were selling Linux pc's....

WOW! Is that the best you can do?
I knew Linuxfuxs where slow, but I did not think they where THAT slow!

Not slow. Why waste words on putzes like you?

You don't need a store. All you need is a good internet
connection.

We don't. However, we've noticed that this gives some of the
slightly wackier WinLoonies pause. Until some time back it
crashed IE (and, by extension, OE). It may still be crashing
IE for all I know.

Of course, most of the smarter individuals have now switched to
Forte, which is of course unaffected by either bug, as is SLRN,
Pan, Mozilla, and just about every other Linux newsreader as far
as I know.

Amusingly enough, I tried IE under wine when that bug first showed up,
it was unaffected by it. So if you must stick with MICROS~1 apps for
that, then I recommend you run Linux, and use them with Wine :)

I'm going to have to work on a windows operating system for a while so i
need to purchase either win2k or winxp pro. I was wondering if you guys
would help me figure out which one is the better deal. Windows 2000 seems to
have better registration policy and is probably significantly lighter on
system resources than xp. XP on the other hand has smoother interface and
probably less hadrware issues. The price difference between the two is
negligible as far as i concerned. OEM versions on pricegrabber start from
$90 and $130.
I would probably just go for newer and better winxp but I am really
concerned about how it will handle my privacy as from all the things I've
read about it, it communicates alot with mssoft and exchanges alot of
information. Overall I guess I am leaning towards win2k as it seems to be
the best of what mssoft offers. What is your opinions on what i should do?

GNU ( and linux) make you stupid!
Click to expand...

Obviously not as stupid as running Windows where users know absolutely
nothing....including how not to crosspost to other newsgroups having
nothing to do with Windows. Where are the infamous microsoft.public
moderators who filter out anything crossposted? Oh yeah, they're
rebooting their machine and making tweaks to their systems that they don't
understand.

Running Windows is suicide.

Now get the hell off of comp.os.linux.advocacy.
