Linsux and Winbloze - There is no decent operating system for the PC!

no. Linux doesn't have a problem with hardware.
Red Hat 9 plays DVDs better in Xine than windows does on my box.
But then, I don't have a good DVD player app. I'm forced to use VideoLan because I can't find my nVidia DVD player CD!

Insomnia, openoffices equation editor is hardly "the open source equivalent" to M$ offices one... Try "LyX", it has the best equation editor ever (hardly surprising, since LyX is basicly What-you-get-is-what-you-WANT-interface on top of LaTeX, which happens to be very good in handling equations).
That said, even the openoffices equation editor is quite usable for small stuff, it's just not as visual as the M$ one.

Indeed.
OpenOffice.org is allmost as bad as Ms Office.
...I already use LaTeX so I don't see the point in using LyX...
For an easy graphical office system, you could also try AbiWord.

LyX does have a significant advantage. By typing the markup language code in by hand, you have the opportunity to make a syntax error, which can sometimes be a pain in the neck to find and fix.
I use both... LaTeX more often than LyX.

It's still slower than LaTeX.
...and why making LaTeX WYSIWYM...?

i only had to read the firstp age of replys...
most of you are retards..
how can u have any real issue with windows XP?
Linux is just as vulnrable to most straight forward hacking and virus attacks.
I install XP configure what i need to install 3 programs and ime secure. i dont even need to install security updates (although i usually do), and i dont use MSIE.
i could go all month with straight uptime, enjoy windows full on gaming, media and whatnot without 1 system error or crash.
i use my pc all day everyday from work tasks to leasure and gaming. no problems.
Stable fast and error free. ive got a shitload of apps running and installed "67 Processes right now".
And my system can take a beating, power failures that last to long for my ups, and the rare occasion i instal lsomething that apparently renders my pc unusable ... gotta spend a good while fixing it, Formatting is not an option !
Fixed - Good as new
If you cant get windows to run like this you must be a retard, windows is very straight forward to use, and even personalize... u dont need much skill to replace the uxtheme.dll and make your own skin. and ive worked in a local computer shop that sell and repair PC's for 6 months. 95% of the problems where the users been total retards using theyr PC, 60% of the jobs where the same customer returning with the same problem over and over.. and they have the nerve to say that we arent doing our job, maybe if they listen they wont get the same virus or other crap on theyr pc.
theyrs been alot of seriusly evil worms and viruses out and i havent been infected with even 1 and ive had a few people try to hack me, no one has succeeded, well i know that becuase my firewall loged the same IP for an entire week.
