Um, Ubuntu usage is not calculated by .ISO downloads. Care to post
another silly, unfounded and not verifiable idea so we can all laugh at
it as well?

I started using Linux in December, 2006. What's the 90s got to do with
it? Now, Ubuntu is more user friendly than Window is, ever was or will be.

Fact: Ubuntu usage is growing.
Fact: more and more governments and big businesses are using Linux on
the desk and lap top.

Windows is history. Move on.

The evaluation copy will shut down your computer every hour after 90
days. Educate yourself before you post, moron:



If you educate yourself, maybe you'll stop posting your ignorant LIES.

I don't deny it. Ubuntu usage might have grown a few thousand people here ..
but at the same time has lost a few thousand there as the frustration of
using it was realized. People will pretty much use a thing like Linux only
if the boss forces them to. Otherwise, it's Windows.

As I plonked the idiot Saucy, I'll reply through you.
If the idiot Saucy looked at my headers he/she/it would see Windows Live
Mail running on Windows 7 RC.
I use both.
What I HATE is idiots who slag off either OS, (windows OR Linux) for no
reason what so ever and have no cogent arguments to support their slagging.
Both OSs have advantages over the other and both OS's have disadvantages as
opposed to the other.
Use whichever (or both, as very many do) suits you but don't slag the other
without logical argued reason. (Saucy........you have NEVER in this group
put forward ANY logical reasoning behind your infantile posts...)

There. Let it be.

First you say that .ISO numbers are too high and try to denigrate it.
When I tell you that that isn't the way it's calculated, you then
denigrate your own point. Nice job, clueless one.

It's easier to use than XP or Vista. Course, you've NEVER used it so you
are NOT qualified to comment.

Yeah, it will go down in history as a predatory, monopoly seeking
company that held its paying customers in total disdain.

Alias

 

Careful with the insults. I wasn't lying. Re-read the post I made .. I
swtiched from talking about the Evaluation version to *any* version - I
meant the RTM bits. My apologies if I wasn't clear. The regular retail
versions will run indefinitely even though not activated. Microsoft provides
a couple inconveniences (wallpaper goes to black after an hour etc.), but
the system runs and doesn't stop anyone from working, running games etc.
etc. etc.

Here, here to using both.
One does not exclude the other.

Linux is great for rescuing Windows drives.
Windows is not so good at rescuing Linux drives.
MS should learn to boot/read Linux partitions without 3rd party crap.

 

I figured you'd pick up on that on. At least you have a brain. lol

Windows 7 is making history as the most conciliatory computer enterprise,
and these days, Microsoft holds its customers in the highest respect. I also
venture that it (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2) will be the most
successful OS yet.


... Now ..


Alias, I do not have the time for this banter unless there's some real
learning here on technical or programming issues - something I doubt will be
forth coming in these "OS Wars" threads.

So beyond a certain point, the "OS Wars" become a waste of time for me.

But hey, if I ever make a Ubuntu siting, I will try to post the time and
place for you - don't hold your breath though.

'Have a good end-of-summer,

Can you substantiate this with an official URL from Microsoft?

Yeah, assuming that each and every paying customer is a pirate until the
prove otherwise numerous times is respectful. Strong arming OEMs to
install Windows is respectful. Shall I go on?

Translation: Saucy's been totally refuted again so he runs away with his
tail between his legs.

The proof is in the pudding. We shall see.

When Windows 7 arrives proper. Watch this space.

There there we go again. Another insult from someone who cannot win an
argument so he has to resort to school boy tactics and name calling. What
an intelligent being you really are. Showing your true colours now. You
belong in an infant's playground, there you can play with your Ubuntu for as
long as you like with the other schoolboys.

And I asked you the question, do you really think that will make people
change to Ubuntu because of your claims?

Your answer, or should I say, 'non answer' was, and I quote: "If they're
smart, they will"

That is not an answer. NOW! What would be your answer? See if you can
answer it this time without wearing your short trousers and your school boy
cap.
