windows longhorn vs close minded people
flap:
No, it isn't "10x as big". As has just been explained to you, that article refers to the entire Red Hat GNU/Linux distribution, which comprises far more than "2 million lines of code".

i been asking my self since i heard about the tcpa,dmca,drm,etc.. ok when windows longhorn is release and i know some hacker,cracker is going to unleash some worm and prove the microsoft windows is never going to be secure, is people going to wake the fuck up and say "enough of this shit,
i am going to find something better"
or people going to stay close minded with there heads up there asses keep using windows?, people complaint when the dvd player doesn't want to work people complaint when AC is not cooling the room, why people don't complaint microsoft want to take your privacy? come on tell me how many people in this country against it ?
i be honest if i had cold heart i would create a fucking bomb and told the people at microsoft get out, and i would blow up microsoft headquater into piece to prove a fucking point, i am sick of there shit .
sorry for the long paragraph i want to see if other people feel the same way or just want to stay here complaint and not do shit about it.
i sick of complaining i want to fucking do something about it.

I do agree quite strongly with you. Privacy is the main consern :( .But we are dealing with the psycology of a person. I can see them buying new computers with 'LongHoe' on it. They, will probably realize that they can't do all the stuff they cam now with their previous version of winblowz, prompting them to do two things.
A.) Keep on returning it to the maufacturer(repair shop) etc... Only to realize that it JUST won't work!
or
B.) digress to a previous version of WinBlowz./stick to the winblowz you already have.
I hear already that people just don't want to upgrade anymore. I mean, for them, if 98SE plays all the latest games, then why get winXP. If win2kpro is stable enough for the office inviroment then why go to 2k3???.....
Of course because of this no real problems will ever be solved. Virii/worms will still plunder th inet and people will continue to call their 'techs.'
A sad world. However Linux. is makeing leaps and bounds and the fact is when I switched it made my life better and easier with less complications!
:cool:

windows has 20 million lines of code in it? I saw something that said xp had around 35 to 40 million lines of code in it. This article says that 2000 has 50-60 million lines of code.

basically, windows is a huge peice of bloat ware with an enormous problem in keeping its code under control. It is spiraling out of control. Linux on the other hand, has tight control over its code. Its clean, and people actually know what is going on in there.

And lets not forget. Not only does M$ has 20 million lines of usless, insecure, bloated code, I wouldn't be suprised if more than half of it is stolen!
Yet SCO has a problem with linux?
M$ said it themselves....
"Good artists copy, Great artists steal!"
They cant fix what really isn't theirs. If you stole more than half the car parts to build your car and know nothing about michanics, your car would turn out to be a deathtrap just because you have no idea how things work, and no idea on what you are doing.
