What's really bad is World of Warcraft is easy to run on Linux.

Apparently no one at MS can use a linux box.

 

I use, will use and never betray Windows. It is superior, and I do NOT want
to waste a life on playing with Linux - its source codes & technical issues
on my work computer, because i have enough of such as an Engineer, the last
thing I want is to add more to my struggle by fighting with own computer.

But one thing disturbed me:
Amongst various parameters by which MS graded an Operating System in their
anti-Linux Training materials issued to BestBuy employees, was whether
Windows or Linux include games e.g. World of Wizard, or some other junk,
iPOD's/camera compatibility, VIDEO CHAT (!!!), and other utter nonsense for
a business/professional!

Are we becoming a nation of idiots?
Do you realize how idiotic it looks to people whose IQ is above even a
modest 100? Or to people abroad?
Are they seriously grading Windows vs. Linux based on inclusion of World of
Crafts, Wizard or whatever imbecile marketing/sales moron decided people
need?

Do you know what I do after each new Windows installation? I get myself
Full COntrol permission and desotry all Games & Bloatware folders. I seek
and destroy trash.
TRASH TRASH TRASH
And this is used to judge an Operating System?

Shame on you sales cretin.

I lved Windows, but when I saw that Microsoft's anti-Linux rant disseminated
to Best Buy & other retailers workforce preparing to sell Windows7, I have
to admit - the IQ level in Redmond is dropping.
You can promote Windows, OK fine, every company promotes its product, but
excuse me - don't compare Windows to Linux and say Window sis better because
it has many games, shiny buttons, colors, plugins, video chat and other ways
to waste time for Hip Hop generation whose IQ seems to be below room
temperature... in Cendegrees!

That is old. Many people run Linux without ever code bashing. In fact I am
a technical user and adept at code bashing and distros like Ubuntu, I
haven't code based for 4 years.

If Microsoft released code there would be code bashing and more. But unlike
Linux, Micro$oft doesn't give you the options. Ever read the EULA for both?
Clearly, Linux gives you far more rights and the waranty is exactly the same
for both, none.

When I hit this, and it indeed doesn't exist I reply "X-Windows for men,
M$-Windows for boys". I usually wait until 3 or more of them are in
earshot, at least one of them usually gets it.

Einstein said it best, "The two things that are infinite is human stupidity
and the size of the universe" and he wasn't sure of the later.

Human nature, even in large groups can be stupid. Look at the history book,
lots of examples.

Yes, and what a pita. 15 reboots of patches and software cleanup later you
get a half usable system that isn't cluttered with nags and adware.

OpenOffice, first thing I load.

The best part about Win 7 is Vista machines, otherwise good machiens will be
on sale.

Good time to buy one to load with Linux.

Not entirely true. A Microsoft sales biggot visited us and was doing the
usual open source bashing. So infront of the CFO and a room full of
influence I demo'ed how open source BSD was keeping Windows safe. Needless
to say the sales bigot was cracking jokes.

So I said I bet you run more Linux and open source than Microsoft OSes! He
said no way. I asked him what wireless router, TV DVD/DVR he used and what
cell phome he used. I also asked how many PCs he had at home. He stated
one he carries for work and one for the family.

So I pulled up google and with one search showed he had 3 instances of Linux
to his two claimed instances of M$-Windows. He was very red faced and quiet
there after.

CFO even made some good comments saying he got a hell of a deal with that
barganing chip and even made open source OK, 1/2 use OpenOffice....

Cough. Of course the Linux license not red communism: you have every right

Clean install a generic copy and you will enjoy Windows a lot more.

Sometimes an old Windows 98 style interface is adequate.

Doubt it! They are a smart bunch. Yes, they worry about the competition, but

Hm, yes, Windows 7 performs better on the same hardware than Windows Vista.

Why waste good hardware? Get an OS that works: Windows 7 Professional

When was the last time you tried it? Years, I bet. I know many people
who prefer the interface of Open Office to the ribbon interface in MS
Office 2007 because it looks so much more like the older versions of MS
office they are used to (MS Office 2003 and older).

Yes, I too have found that engineers typically fight their PC all day
long because they lack a real understanding about how it works. (Unless
of course they are a CS engineer.)

Yes, they are, as MS wants Windows to be used everywhere, for everything,
by everyone. They also are not above lieing in their marketing scheme.

There are millions of PC users in the world that don't give a sh*t about
anything that you (as an engineer) and do nothing more than play games,
and do internet things, which includes video chat.
