Hey, poeple, why are there so many people in the fuckmicrosoft.com forums DEFENDING microshit?  seriously.

Besides, half this crap's wrong anyway.

And no, I do not think IIS beats Apache, yes Sendmail beats "SMTP Service" and I DO NOT think Microsoft Passport is a good thing.

Especially including this new MyLostWallet, oops, MyWallet feature, where your credit card details get given to any site which DOESN'T request them (at least, thats how it'll end up working  ;)

Perhaps because they wish to enlighten this benighted little hate site on the fact that Windows is the best desktop operating system.

name 5 things that linux doesn't that windows does, besides :

1. opening a (closed format) word/excel or other MS file
2. Being treated like a total idiot.
3. crashing my pc every 5 minutes

Then here are 5 (just a small random selection   :D  ) things I can do with linux which I can't do with windows.

1. Be productive (no bloated, buggy, crash prone IDE to worry about)
2. Have translucent menu's (my KDE looks faaaar better then winxp)
3. Should a program crash and lock up the windowing system I can just slide over to my other pc, kill the offending application and go on with my work.
4. The only BSOD I'll ever see is on the screensaver which comes with some distributions.
5. Being able to actually thouroughly debug programs I write because of the plethora of debug tools available for and built in the linux operating system, plus the fact that most libraries we use at work are either open source or has the source available, which enables me to find bugs faster by being able to tell what exactly happens when I do a function call in a library (in oposite of microsoft where you have to find out the hard way)

And the best part is, when you get a linux distribution, you don't have to shell out 300$ for a office suite, you don't have to shell out 99$ for a cd burning program, you don't have to shell out 10000's $ on MS licenses (if you're a corporate user that is), you don't have to shell out 1000's $ for some propriety
web server. Also your OS doesn't have built in programs which you can't renove and have basically no control over what they send out (IE anyone?). And your computer isn't part of the biggest breeding pool for viruses known to man anymore.


Need I go on?
