All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Look what this "sophisticated win user" has to say...

Im so lucky I discovered MES. What if I had discovered some pro wind0ze and anti-linux sites first? Then I might of been dangerously brainwashed into thinking this site is BS. Or would I? I've felt wind0ze is blah(not a piece of shit, just blah) before I even saw this site.

Whatever. This sounds like BS. I have no technical know-how about this subject, yet my bullshit detector is ringing like crazy. Either it's obvious that is bullshit, or im no better then those people who make uneducated putdowns against Linux.

LINUX has many good points, but it simply will not run in a sophisticated user mode. By this I mean, an internal OS that will help a USER that does not quite have the exact same target computer system that the OS loader is looking for. In other words drivers.

Well my theory is that someone must make it this way. Problem is, when the users get this good, they must realize the beauty of the non-friendly mode, and never bother.

USERS wish to use, and not program. But they also wish to be rewarded for knowledge and not be treated as a NEWBIE. LINUX treats all sophisticated WIN USERS as NEWBIES and provides no ONLINE resolution HELP for resolving CONFLICTS.

OF COURSE YOUR A NEWBIE! LINUX IS TOO COMPLEX TO BE ANYTHING BUT A NEWBIE WHEN YOU FIRST START OUT.

Good one, Calum.
Why did he capitalize USER, NEWBIES, ONLINE, HELP etc?
Yes, NT4 became relatively stable, after what: 5 or 7 huge ass service packs? 2000 is the same way, I think we are up to 3. XP is doing the same thing: the first service pack was over 100 MB, and was mostly to please the DOJ.

:D LOL :D

He's on CRACK! Apple computers ran completely without BASIC. I'm fairly sure BASIC doesn't exist for that platform. I think C came before basic? It was invented in the 70's

I think he means that Linux has very few drivers. :confused: MORON! Look and you shall find.

You can't just download a distro and think "I'm gonna master this today" Buy a fuckin book or something! Don't take on every complex little thing and expect to understand and use it in a few seconds. Windows is the same way. You can't just go through the Admin tools and expect them to work the second you open them (without a $35 phone call or $3000 training course, that is). They make a 400 page book on "Getting Started With IIS" and they don't even begin to touch anything but the basics.
If you bothered to read all that, I pity you! In sum: This guy is BLIND AND DOES NOT SEE THAT M$ IS DOING THE VERY THINGS HE IS BITCHING ABOUT! Not to mention he is preaching to the wrong audience.

Nor can you download a distro and expect to master it in one month.

Ineresting question. What's to say you aren't? What's to say you are? What if you had found some pro-apple sites first? Would you be sitting on you new iMac(beautiful as it is) hoping they pick you for a "switch campaign" ad and chatting about linsux?
