I agree with you. They always have 4+ updates at a time.
Yeah, because they always release updates on the first Tuesday of the month. Notice that there were none this month. So what's your point? Firefox released 19(!!!) security updates all at once just a little over a week ago (in version 1.01). But I don't see you complaining about that.
unfortunally i am forced to use windows.
At gun point, no doubt.
I do have linux on my computer too. Whenever i get an update it is a bunch of them at once.
So now you're saying that Linux is just like Windows in that respect... okay?
Why do they even bother to come out with updates to IE.
Think on the absurdity of that question(statement?). You really don't know why they fix security flaws in the world's most popular web browser? The single most prominent attack surface ever to exist? Give me a break.
IE is just one giant hole and they are slowly patching it.
Just like every other internet-exposed application.
Once their sales are down to one copy of windows a day they will be forced to admit that windows sucks and they always knew it.
Yes. Thousands of the smartest, most hard-working people in the world who have spent years or even decades putting their blood, sweat, and tears into their work to build the best product they possibly can... will all decide to give up because you said their work "sucks," without giving a single reason why.
And yes, I'm sure sales of Windows are about to take a
huge decline. Tomorrow. Because of all those wonderful and viable alternatives that offer a better experience or value :rolleyes:
I have compared linux to windows and Win XP looks somwhat like linux.
Well then praise be to heaven for the all-knowing decider of things has spoken.
Seriously... you... you did what?? I don't even know what you're saying there.
Are you saying Linux looks like Windows? Well yeah, most of the common WMs (KDE, Gnome, fvwm, etc.) all try to look like Windows (taskbar + "start" menu). In fact, there isn't a single interface that I've ever seen for Linux that
doesn't try very hard to look like something else. Most of them these days look like Windows, but plenty of them follow NeXT (AfterStep, Enlightenment, etc).
I don't see how that's an advantage for Linux... that it is trying to be like Windows. Desktop Linux suffers from a complete lack of innovation. There's no ambition. There's no drive to do anything new. It's all about trying to be "almost as good" as the mainstream, but cheaper. But our society understands the "get what you pay for" axiom, and on the whole, we're not poor.
It's like saying a double-wide is superior to a victorian house. Sure, the double-wide is buttloads cheaper. But it isn't as nice, secure, or well-built. It certainly won't last as long. It does all the basics that a house does... it has rooms, a place to sleep, a place to cook. It has a roof and a floor. But it's not as expandable. It can't do everything the house can.
Sure, it has one advantage... It's free from the confines of a solid and fixed
foundation.
I know which I'd choose, given a choice.
