It has great hardware support -- Do you have that?
fact: windows xp didn't support my soundcard out of the box, had to install a driver for it, while linux did support it out of the box
fact: windows xp's nvidia driver has no opengl support ... had to install a seperate driver for it (had to install a driver for it for linux too, didn't have to reboot though)

It has a great GUI -- Do you have that?
yes ... with translucent menus, something windows hasn't got....
linux 2 - windows 0

It has cool features BUILT RIGHT IN like messinger and IE -- Do you have that?
SuSE come's with 7 cd's.. the main install is covered on the first 2 discs which means you get 5 discs with programs (for just 40$)
including (but not limited too):
messaging programs
browsers
db servers
irc clients
games

Product acrivation stops the piracy that has gone on too long -- DO you have that?
The only people not bothered with the WPA are the pirates ... how's that for irony?
plus I can install linux on as much machines as I want ... legally

.NET will bring more power and choice to us windows users (aka 'The Master Race')
wrong ... the windows users (aka 'The Dumber Race') give in a lot of choice (basically the choices will be made by M$ for you)

And TCPA will bring the ultimate in security and stability to us.
wrong ... TCPA will bring the ultimate in security to the record/movie industry and total control to M$. I'm going to deduct one point here for windows for the blatant invasion on my privacy. Linux scores for stability/security here
linux 6 - windows -1

Our x86 processors kick your ass - Have you got above 2GHz yet?
If gigahertz actually meant something and I wanted a 2Ghz+ CPU I could run linux on it. My trusty Athlon is a lot better though, I also have a compiler which can compile programs specifically optimized for my Athlon. And can windows run on anything but the x86 platform?
oooh ... another point for linux
linux 7 - windows -1

Windows is a real OS with power, stability and then fun stuff to.
fun stuff? yeah ... if swearing and cursing at your OS because it doesn't do what you want to do is your definition of fun stuff. 3d rendering with anti aliasing in text mode ... now that's fun stuff
linux 8 - windows -1
stability? LoL ... with my short experience with windows XP I had it reboot on me for no apparant reason on multiple occasions, the server on our work has uptime of 300+ days ... it's going down tomorrow to install a new kernel though
well ... we already added a point for stability so the score stays the same

I'll just ignore this comment .... maybe I should substract another point of windows' score for producing moronic idiots like this (but in all fairness ... that's not really windows' fault)
well ... final score:
linux 8 - windows -1
god ... debunking these little misinformed moronic fanboy posts is soooo much fun (even if I have to do it twice
)
