Why do you prefer *nix?

You're fooling yourself if you think you can reason with them. They do not have the ability to read and comprehend. They see what they want to see. And they wet their beds.

hey fuck you, I can read pretty well thanks, and i did find your post convincing. The only damn reason I posted in the first place was that I was wondering why the hell people go around saying dump MS, and take Linux, its sooo many times better etc... As far as I can see ( which you may not think is very far) the only major difference between Linux and say MS XP is security wise, but for simple home users, that simply doesnt matter.
I have used Linux for about 1 1/2 years, so maybe I havent given it wenough of a chance. And why do loads of people go around saying shit like Bill Gates will lead us into a Nuclear Winter and shit. Sure, Him and MS are complete bastards, but isnt that going way too far?I do Like LInux, its what I hope for in Windows in terms of Stability and Configurability, but when it comes to lazy, ease of use, windows comes on top, which may not be good, but suits most people.
On thee Quake III Arena post, that is as you say rare. And I am willing to bet that you didnt just put the cd in and start installing it. there was probably some extra work needed. And thats what seperates WIn from LInux, sure win is as stable as a one wheeled bike, but most of the time i would rather have ease over stability. when i dont, I use linux. So finally, why dont some Linux nuts just stop telling the whole world to switch to Linux, becasue it is the only way. It isnt, and you even admit that its not the best for everything.

I'm sorry. Sincerely. I shouldn't make the smart-ass remarks, I just do it to get people riled (and it works). I'll try not to do it in the future as it does detract from the *real* comments.

I would disagree with this. Security for home users *does* matter although most home users don't realize it. Those home users become unwilling/unknowing participants in DDoS attacks. And they shouldn't have to put up with the virus problem (and I shouldn't have to put up with recieving messages from those users containing such viru because their OS sent it to me). They may spend a little more time getting an app installed but that isn't as much time as I've spent telling them how to obtain and install virus software and clean up their system.

Does anyone else think that this is really funny. This stuff happens at least once a week. Certainly if there was another OS that ruled the marketplace it would have its share of viruses also, but this is just silly. A default setting for plug and play appliances helps cause this problem? Does anyone know where I can find out if my microwave is supported under XP?
