Lindows and M$ are at it Again
solarismka:
Hmmmm, I can see how lindows is a danger. I mean, I can see 'joe shmoe' using it. m Realizing how much more 'expensive' it is. How less secure it is, because its running as root and a normal user probably doesn't know that, thus the introduction of virii and worms and incomaptibility with some of their previous software, well not really too sure on that one.
So with all of this in the play, a troll is born with windows in his/her mind bing the best and linux sux because lindows sux... and the beat goes on....
I don't know too much about the CEO though as far as people hating him. He is quite entertaing. Certinly better than all those reality shows on FOX Networks.
But people day Theo De'ratt(sp?) is an ass to. Just that OpenBSD really is a fine product.

I will give you that one. It does appear that they support the open-source community, but I'm not sure if you can fully trust them as a company. We of all people should know to watch out for ambitious corporations. I mean look at M$ in the 80s, look at their business strategy, and look at them now. Not to mention the robber barons at the turn of the century. The consumer just cannot trust Big Business b/c their motivation is not the consumers but profits, even at the expense of the consumer. So don't go trustin Micheal Robertson quite yet. Only time will fully tell of their intentions.
