Why Linux is King and will soon Rule
slave:
Concerning Linux vs Windows, all I can say is I know Linux will always be around, regardless of how popular it is. Even if every Linux company in the world went under, Linux development would continue. I can't say that with certainty about Microsoft.
Concerning your comments about why Linux will always be "King," first of all king in what way? On the server? Maybe so, but what about for home/desktop users? I have to admit you are right about open source producing software extremely fast. Linux and its apps have sprung up apparently overnight. However, a lot of Linux apps are buggy and/or incomplete, but the popular ones usually don't stay this way for long. Linux developers also seem to have a rule where they make a x.0 release as buggy as possible.

You've used the "Bluecurve" theme? I doubt it. And unlike Windows, you have "complete" custimizability when you have the source code. Since when does KDE not have the ability to custimize Window backgrounds?

I couldn't get it to customive the Window backrounds( a.k.a put in background picture kinda like a desktop wallpaper). If the option is available please dotell how to use it.

And Microsoft appears to have a policy of making every release as buggy as possible. If they didn't there would be no need to upgrade.

Heh, that looks nothing like KDE3. I have used KDE3 before and I must say that I think it looks like crap and is crap. It has no Window background design options, it doesn't have colorful quick task access buttons on the side of the Windows(that can be disabled in Windows if you don't like it), etc.

Hey, if there's one thing I hate about KDE it's the fact that it has TOO many features. I prefer a minimal GUI that doesn't get in my way and will let me Just Work(tm) I do most of my "configurating" in Linux using the console anyway; it's faster, I'm sorry to say. (I'm sure void main would agree with me)

I still don't see how you guys think that look like fisher price. There are no candy colored window buttons, there is no candy colored looking start button(like XP Lunas' start button) and the color of the interface isn't a solid candy color.
The Longhorn look seems to be professional looking(Like the Blackcomb Pro 1.1 VS I'm currently using right now). You guys just can't stand to know that Windows is kicking the crap out of Linux and will continue to do so(it will actually kick more crap out of Linux after Palladium hardware becomes the standard in new computers).
Umm, no those aren't fakes buddy. I've seen probably 35 differnt screenies of Longhorn Alpha that hit the MSBetas' site recently form alot of differnt people and they all look consistent to every other screenie.
BTW, XP doesn't have the capabilites to display My Pictures and My Music the way it is displayed in the screenies I provided. There is no way to make XP display those folders like that either..so no, they aren't fakes that were done with StylesXP.
