    Have a look...

    What do you think? This could be a major blow for Linux. Linux is still very far from being a rival for Windows, and then comes this.

    What do you think will happen? Is it the end of Linux?

    That is all smoke and mirrors by the Microsoft propaganda department.

    They are so desperate because their flawed OS has security problems and is nothing but a patch of a patch that they are spreading lies about.

    Linux is by far the superior Operating System and Microsoft knows this.

    A little while back I read a 5 or 6 page letter sent by Microsoft Execs to the govn't in Peru regarding the same stuff.

    Microsoft is just upset that there is a FREE os solution out there that performs wayyyyyy better than their garbage OS.

    Hooooray for Mr Torvalds and his little dormroom project!

    By the way if anyone is interested in the linux story first hand from Linux himself read the book "Just For Fun" By Linux Torvalds and David Diamond.

    I would love to see Linux becoming the market leader for operating systems. I hadn't used it until I started uni about 4 1/2 years ago.

    I have to admit that I do use Windows XP at home though :eek:

    Weir,

    I use linux for all production servers and the internal network but I do love the ATI AIW Tv tuner software that is made for windows.

    I have All In Wonder cards in all my windows boxes.

    If there was something better than G.A.T.O.S. for the ATI TV tuner software on linux I'd port over all the windows machines today! hehehe
