winXP loser, you should have put this in the windows section. When starting a new topic praising windows please remember that in future. The topic is now moved.

Why is the Windows version of Mozilla so much freaking better than the Linux version?  In windows the fonts are smoothed, the text doesn't break when I scroll, and there is that nifty "quicklaunch" option that makes it load quite fast.  If I didn't already have IE, I would say Mozilla is pretty damn good and would certainly use it under Windows.  It even blocks popup ads (which I loathe)

I know that you must be using Red-Hat Linux 2.0 or somthing or maybe you just smoke crack, but all the modern distro's have smoothed fonts.

And Linux has better memory allocation and FS Drivers so it loads fast... Not that i have a problem with the speed XP loads at (fast) but Linux on the same box starts slightky faster. XP Luser, Try disableing some "deamons (service in XPtalk)" in linux and it will load fast. Also dont use DHCP in Linux!

Also try going to the pub instead when you have the urge to bug out forums. But Linux aint that bad. Its not perfect but i see plently of fucking glitches in XP. But Microsoft are starting to compete by using Mandrakes Login.

I Know the only reason why all the web browsers look good on Windows and linux,

1) Windows is a visual OS and linux is only starting as one

2) MS gives the developers SDK's and stuff so he can develop designs and not program

Linux is an Open source so its have a 1000 looks and feels and the developer need to work hard in order to build a cool visual apps

Huh?

No.

Who told you M$ gave away API's and SDK's? Sure they have some, but they reserve the bulk as anti-competative mesure. As far as Linux, XFree, is very well documented as well as KDE and GNOME, plus it is open source. A developer can easely make visually apealing apps..

Hell just look at KDE and GNOME, they are beutifull GUI's and a testament to Linux's graphical capabilities.

EDIT:

On second thought, I don't think I understand your staetement.

What do you mean by this:

2) MS gives the developers SDK's and stuff so he can develop designs and not program
