Will you ever go back to M$ OS?
« on: 21 July 2005, 19:13 »
After switching to Linux I cant see my self ever going back to M$.
I first changed because the computer had all this strange kind of problems. So I changed OS to Linux. But now it is not so much that Windows is a bad OS that is the reason not using it. Now it is about money and the way M$ works. I just cant stand behind a company like that. I cant understand how people are prepared to pay for Windows, unbeliviable.

So, can you see your self going back to use M$ OS again?

M$? Grow up.

To answer your question,Yes. I use windows XP at work. We also have server2003. Exchange is awesome. Roaming profiles is awesome. I never thought that I would say that.

I haven't had any problems with it so far. We have knowledgeable techs maintaining our machines. I'd prefer to use a Mac, but if I can get my work done on Windows, then who cares. I'll use my macs when I get home.

No.

If MS was the only option I'd just quit using computers.

No.
In my experience, GNU/Linux beats the living crap outta Windows. And then, I don't wanna support Microsoft anymore, when I can support something else.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Setup a network for me where I can login from any machine as my user, have access to the Adobe Creative Suite, a shared exchange like outlook system, easy to maintain network config, iTunes, access to several shared printers, and maintain it at the same cost as our current Windows network and I will say that I won't go back to M$ :)

I dunno how well Adobe CS and iTunes would work under Wine.
Do you depend on this software? Because if you do, then it won't matter how good GNU/Linux gets, because you're locked in.

Other than that, I know little about setting up a network, but I'd try if I had the resources, after learning more about networking. As for the cost: nothing for the software...

I did.

Because being revolutionary is all fine and dandy until you need to get work done.

 I do, in fact, use Windows.  I edit video, and until I get a Mac, I use windows because I need to have the Apps I need to get work done, and I need them to work when I need them to, and I need it yesterday.  Linuix can't do that for me, and the people make a metric fuckton of excuses when they come up short.
