The philosophy is different. The fact that you used something else doesn't mean you understand it.
In 2 years, we'll be comparing Linux, BSD and Mac OSX with the next Microsoft invention. Get it?
The fact that Unix runs on a 486 is not the point. It will simply be that much more powerful on a modern machine.
On your 4 points:
1) Microsoft only runs on Intel. You probably think that is OK. I believe differently and will not try to convince you.
2) You are right - they don't care.
3) If you don't know, you don't know. That's ok too.
4) ...right. Like the hardware manufacturer has nothing to do with it.
Your rant on IE maybe relevant to somebody else. I don't have to remove it.
"Windows (like Linux) is very customizable, if you know what you are doing"
Now.. I've heard that before but don't buy it. I can tolerate using Windows because I can put cywgin, then XFree86, and then run the desktop of my choice. None of that is Microsoft's doing.
You also have design flaws that would just take pages and pages to explain
- The file system is a mess just for starters. It supports nothing but the last experiment they decided to dream of. From one Microsoft OS to another, you can't read the file system.
- Where's the scripting language? You call that a scripting language? How do you effectively automate and build on previous work?
- If everything is GUI based, how come the GUI isn't networkable?
- If I have a problem with a driver or else, why does the complete system included tightly coupled graphic desktop have to come up before I can do anything about it - if I get that far.
And what about doing that from a different machine? Please don't mention their telnet - it's useless. As always - go buy more software to get the job done.
Nevertheless, maybee you can educate me on one thing and tell me if they finally have the ability to log in as a different user at the same time.
"Most of the bloat in windows 2000 and XP is there because Mirosoft try to keep everybody happy."
Now... There is something I can agree on. This being said, it doesn't mean I have to deal with the consequences of their attempts to make everybody happy.
See... I used to hate Microsoft for all the time I've waisted on the direction I allows myself to be lured into. Now I just don't care and am happy.
I do buy all of my software thank you very much (where applicable), As I buy my music CD's if I'm going to listen to the artist.
