I don't sell drugs but that won't stop you from saying I do in a very
desperate attempt to distract from the issues that you can't refute.

McDonald's sell a lot of hamburgers but numbers do not mean quality. Got
any more lame crap you'd like to spew? You're doing a great job of
proving how clueless you are and how willing you are to lie to vainly
try to cover up your ignorance.

They taste pretty good.
They're made of meat.

What's the problem?

Are you on drugs, Alias? Seriously, are you? Because one can search high and
low in this city at least and find nary a Linux desktop. Very very few
people use it. You will find it doing web and file serving, but hmm, that's
about it and its time is shortening there as there are better web and file
server operating systems out there. In other words, show me the money
Alias: there are hardly any Linux desktops in Canada. At LinuxFest Ontario
you see a bunch of people - it looks busy - but upon closer inspection I've
realize I've had bigger parties at my house than there were in that
LinuxFest convention. It's sad Alias. There's not going to be that tidal
wave of conversion. This is not the year Linux is "going to take the
desktop". Most people have forgotten it even exists.

And what city might that be? The fact that over 10 million people use

Just because something was downloaded over 10m times does not equate to
10m users.

You need to show some facts here.

The Fedora update repository is used by 17 million users.
Ubuntu having 10 million would not be an unreasonable number.

How many Window Vista installs are out there?
They count OEM installs, which are quite often wiped by the user.
And little choice on the consumers part.

One thing Linux owns Windows on:
All linux installs are by the users choice.

Imagine that ... having a choice.

Not the way it's figured.

Look them up yourself if you know how. Last I checked, I am not your
research assistant or secretary.

Downloads don't equate to installs. First off some of the more zealous will
download a new ISO each time there's a point one upgrade - so there's
multiple downloads perc omputer there. Then many download but don't install.
And then the truth is most downloads will be installed, found frustrating
and incompatible, then wiped off and replaced with Windows.

This is not the year Linux takes the desktop, Alias. Not this year, not the
next, not the one after that. Never. Face it: the 1990s are over, Alias,
Ubuntu is the OS equivalent of flogging a dead horse - Linux didn't make it.
Move on.

If you'd had bothered to follow the thread and actually read the post, you'd
have realized I was talking about an evaluation version. Windows 7
Enterprise which runs for three months. It's no charge and enables anyone
run Windows 7 for a season for free.

As it is, though, one can install Windows 7 off any Windows 7 DVD and run it
indefinitely, if one is willing to put up with the wallpaper being turned
off after the activation period limit is reached. Microsoft is not using
Windows to keep anyone from using their computer - an old complaint in
C.O.L.A. was that they were .. well .. they aren't.

It's not hate. It's correction. Alias and Gordon worship some penguin god
and in its service spend their time as trolls in a msnews.microsoft.com
newsgroup leveling accusation and insult, and spreading misinformation and
FUD.
