All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software

Why people choose Microsoft.

<< < (3/11) > >>

X123:
The main reason is compatability. People could easily learn how to use linux. I used to know nothing about Linux. I quickly learned. However I don't use it because of compatability with most programs.

Calum:
<cough>bullshit</cough>

let's look at hardware compatibility:

linux runs on at least twelve different types of computer, many other unices run on more than one type. windows runs only on x86 as stated above.

let's look at software compatibility:

lots of programs run on windows. most are shit and old. almost all of them are crippleware, nagware, cost a shitload of money et cetera.

lots of programs run on linux. most are relevant and fairly recent. many are open source and can be installed on many other operating systems also (all the ones that run Windows for example), some linux (open source) programs can be compiled on, or have been brought out for, windows. Most linux programs are free, and better you get the rights to rewrite them yourself and sell on your efforts if you like.

what more do you want? anybody who is not happy with this, fuck off back to windows.

choasforages:
thats right mplayer is hard to install on linux. but since im no longer using linux, dvd's should be easy now and software is soo easy to build and install now. if only they could have this on linux *sigh*

choasforages:
and i know that last post was a bit cryptic, im using the *BSD's now

zooloo:
People don't choose MS, they buy PCs with it installed.

After that they buy MS Office etc because they think "MS, that's what I've got".

The average punter doesn't know (Or care) what an OS is.

MS is shit software and excellent marketing.
