No, we don't "worship" Linus, at least I don't. I don't worship anything. And I suppose you think Bill Gates looks a whole lot better huh? I read in the book Hard Drive that Gates frequently went for weeks without showering and had greasy, smelly hair with dandruff on his shoulders. Looks aren't everything, but when I look at Linus I see a benevolent man who wanted to create an OS the whole world could use and modify freely. When I look at Gates I see a cold, calculating billionaire who wants to squeeze every last drop of money out of computer users using whatever predatory and immoral tactics he can. Not even schools are safe!

The fact that you stand up for Microsoft so much makes me wonder if you actually do worship them, or at the very least you are Bill Gate's bitch. I suppose you'll be using Palladium when it comes out too, eh?

Personally, I think Gates is an ugly, out of shape mother fucker. I think that MS is a piece of shit(ethically) but I do like thier software.
There are no good alternatives to MS'es software and OSes. I sure ain't no slave to MS. I modify the hell out of thier software to make it the way I want it...so I for one am not a follower of MS'es ideas. MacOS is the closest to a good alternative OS that you can get(you can even use IE, MS Office, etc. in MacOS). Linux just isn't good enough for me because it's lack of games, it's awful UI and it's lack of real software.

That's fine but why do you feel the need to come here and harass us for choosing Linux? I think I know the answer because I myself used to come here and do the same thing. It's just fun, and geeks get angry very easily. :D

This thread has officially gotten out of control. Thank you, Zombie, for pushing us over the edge and turning a harmless GIMP XP thread into a "Linus is a geek!" "No, Bill is a geek!" "No linus is a geek!" thread. Can't you just swallow your pride for one second and look at the bigger picture? That's all well and fine that you don't support Microsoft morally, but as you are modifying and buying and distributing and telling people that Linux is stupid, Microsoft is taking over the world! I don't quite understand the Linux effect either, but if you opened your eyes and got over yourself for just a little while maybe you'd be able to see something besides us to take out your anger on.
I also urge everyone to ignore Zombie's troll posts and only respond to his intelligent arguments (or lack thereof).
And geeks rule the world.
