lol, seriously? Almost everyone that borrow one asked me "how do u install mac on PC?" Ubuntu is great, but i hate the fact that i can't even spend money on it. What i mean is if i use window, mac i could just spend 100$ and get the software i want, especially Dreamweaver and new games, but still, i love my compiz; Here's just a simple screenshot from an Internet Marketer's Ubuntu(ME)
Linus Quotes Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems. The only limiting factor of the Linux operating system, is his user. We all know Linux is great…it does infinite loops in 5 seconds.
they are both great persons.. i am not against windows or jumping on a bandwagon for linux. i use xp, ubuntu, fedora and mac. personally, i like fedora distro. but Mac appeals best to me.. windows on the other hand, i need to use it coz i am working in IT industry. but it doesn't mean that, gates and travolds are rivals.. they have their own principles and they both are doing great... gates is credited for DOS and windows, so is Linux kernel from Linus too.. kudos for both guys... but my fav is OS X
its not that i afraid to use linux , i just see no reason to use something else than windows when i have everything in it already... Besides i never could understand people who hate microsoft , nobody is forcing you to use it if you dont want there is an alternate for you , LINUX or any other operation system... If it was that easy to fit everyones needs and requirements microsoft would already do that.
well, security reasons, Microsoft is the most vulnerable OS. sometimes, it's just pain to use windows.. with blue screen of death, several uncountable viruses, security holes, easy to crash, memory buffer system, etc etc. you may probably not find in other OS. Most important of all, cpu usage and loading time makes a lot of people annoyed by windows... there are many things windows can't basically do.. like 80% the CGI movies you watched are made with Mac or HP machines and probably about 85% of the webhosting are hosted on Linux, IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. As an individual yes, you use windows because everyone uses it.. but using linux is not about hating microsoft, it's all about freedom of choice and freedom to choose.. That's why Linux systems are not improving alot, and you may be shocked to know, linux can do almost everything like windows already.. besides, I would rather use freeware than using warez. Makes me guilty. You can see what windows can offer whereas Linux can do.. quite a list if you say.. the only thing is, u pay nothing to use on right hand side, of course linux.. http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html so, my suggestion is, just try it, you never know, u may love it... it's not true there's no need for other OS, except windows.. just my 2 cents
Linus Torvalds is the creator of the Linux kernel not the complete operating system people call "Linux". The operating system is actually GNU Linux. You have to compare Microsoft with GNU and the Free Software Foundation. The big man behind that is Richard Stallman. You have to compare Bill Gates with Richard Stallman, not Linus, he's just a programmer that made a working kernel for the GNU project.
LOLZ, if u dig back into history, then u'll see that windows came up from mac. code and linux came up from unix code. well mac came up from unix too just like linux. and unix too came up from some other Os which includes a portion of xenix. so its basically all dudes copying from one another. sadly, mac, linux and unix being a better pc os'es then windows isnt so popular coz they never tried to make their system friendly to dummy users who are too scared to use the mouse and keyboard. so, the guy who distributed and marketed a much more user friendly os wins the desktop user's heart. while the tech geeks decide over the server-side os depending upon the scripts they use.. some ad networks still prefer to use asp.net with sqlserver db rather than php/mysql. while most of the free-joomla guys prefer php/mysql coz its not yet written in asp.net Next you can spend lots of $$$$$$$ for server security whether you use linux apache or windows iis because both are still prone to Exploits and as well as DDOS. OK!
That sums the situation up for me ! have had a few(more than I admit) computers over the years, even got a linux ubonto (spelling) disk with the intention of installing it and seeing what it was all about and gave up ! In order to get a big share of the market you need to be able to engage that market.. Linux for me doesnt do that and the lack of support doesnt help. I must point out I love the idea of open source software.. I would back it if it was compatable with the software I use !
I respect bill gates he is man who brought computer to real life,he has created the best of best drivers for running Operating System on hardware.Since its war with Netscape has driven down Microsoft.I think Steve ballmer is not capable of running Microsoft i think so personally,And he is not a programmer also just a business man who know only business not computer programs and how they work.There was also a tv news when a us college student throws eggs towards Steve ballmer,might be bcoz he is angry with Steve Dedication to Microsoft .I have seen a video in which Bill Gate was in confession room of court where the agents were telling to confess him about his windows monopoly.After the penalization of Court to Microsoft and removing Bill Gates from CEO position im seeing Microsoft sinking like titanic minuscule. Netscape after the browser war doesn't seems to anywhere in the hood. Linux Torvalds a great personality created a open source OS with the outstanding kernel developed by him.Linux kernel is great and i think Linux is great for servers systems.He has given a new platform to open source programmers. ***I THINK BOTH ARE EXCELLENT PERSONALITIES,WHO CREATED A REMARKABLE OS***
You on drugs or something??? i think you'll find m$ was before mac and in fact gave a lot of money to the apple at the beging for research and development and i hate the windows/unix argument tbh its like comparing a can of coke to water , there both a liquid but total different, just the same windows and unix both os but completely different and completely used for different things
i think you are on drugs, if u jump to conclusion without research, then people will think like that only. well, by the way, since how many years are you using computers?may i know? if u watch the HISTORY channel about biography of BILLGATES or maybe if u know how the mac. code was stolen to make microsoft's first gui-based operating system when mr. gates and his team were working with in the mac. office, then you will not say such things to me next time. OK! So,you must dig into history to find that out. not blame me for it. Got it dude..!
LOL hail him if you want.. I'll go for gates.. Linus must thank Bill gates for creating windows.. without windows, linus won't have any idea on how to make linux..
I like Linux mainly because of less virus but Windows has great friendly interface. BG is a better person i guess
