Re: Got Vista or Win7? Worry.

Are you on drugs, Alias? Seriously, are you? Because one can search high and low in this city at least and find nary a Linux desktop. Very very few people use it. You will find it doing web and file serving, but hmm, that's about it and its time is shortening there as there are better web and file server operating systems out there. In other words, show me the money Alias: there are hardly any Linux desktops in Canada. At LinuxFest Ontario you see a bunch of people - it looks busy - but upon closer inspection I've realize I've had bigger parties at my house than there were in that LinuxFest convention. It's sad Alias. There's not going to be that tidal wave of conversion. This is not the year Linux is "going to take the desktop". Most people have forgotten it even exists.

Ubuntu sales 'n downloads don't even compare to Windows 7's pre-order. On the desktop, Linux doesn't exist - to all intents and purposes it simply is not there. In a defacto sense, no one uses it. No one. Sure there's the odd guy in Spain, or cop station in Belgium where Ubuntu or some other Linux distro is found on desktops, but in the scheme of things it registers zero on the Richter scale i.e. it counts for naught, nada, nothing. No one uses it. The granola crunching, the politically correct and rainbow coalition types, once so interested in it back in the 90s , who went on and on and on about open sores, soon found out that they had no idea how to use Linux, that it was difficult and unusable on the desktop as a general purpose operating and it made them look like useless t^its when they went to use a computer .. have long moved on to being ripped off by Apples Corp. Alias, long out of the loop, hating the U.S. and living on a beach of Spain, reminds me of .. of OS/2 Warp .. or of Be OS .. you know, still living in the 90s and dreaming of some 60s commie paradise. For all I know he's on drugs, if his posts are any indication.

Everything above is a lie.

Great your lonely install has been up so long. Have you play Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 on it? It's fun.


Let me elaborate: to be honest with you, I have installed several copies of Linux and attempt to get FreeBSD running as well - all out of curiosity - and each time disappointed with the unworkability. FreeBSD just did its version of the BSOD. "Out there" though, I've not seen nary on the desktop / laptop save the two I mentioned.

The guy who had it on the laptop came over to me and asked me if I could help him. When he plugged in his USB mouse, nothing happened. I just said sorry, 'could be anything. I felt like saying: Why don't you get an OS that works?

One prime example why Linux is funny. It's just a plaything.



Again I ask you - please elaborate as to why Linux (now it's Linux not just Ubuntu) is "funny"?

I have answered that question three times, are you illiterate? Can you not read?

Do you use Google? Google runs on err let me see....LINUX!

BIG DEAL! That doesn't distract from the fact that UBUNTU sales do not compare to WINDOWS or VISTA sales, nor will it to WINDOWS 7 sales when it comes out in October. What does that tell you?

Now let me put you on the spot and ask a question. Do you think or Ubuntu will ever seriously compete with Windows 7
When it comes out? It's a yes or no answer. A no brainer if you ask me.
