Microsoft claims firms 'hitting a wall' with Linux

H_TeXMeX_H:
Well ... then install Linux instead.

piratePenguin:

--- Quote from: WMD ---Windows 98 setup boots to a command line, and says "run FDISK lol".  You have to start that yourself and partition, then close that and run the setup program.  Not to mention in 1998 a lot of computers still couldn't boot from CDs, so you had to make a boot disk along with that.
--- End quote ---
So it must be completely different to Windows 98 SE.

WMD:
No, what I described is 98 SE.  No version of 98 has a self-running, GUI partitioner...just fdisk.  The rest of the setup is GUI, once you start it.

Jack2000:
why the heck would you need "a self-running, GUI partitioner" packed up with
M$'s Win98 ??
you have partition magic
for that !!



for server i will have to go with unix based system

hm_murdock:
Not everybody has Partition Magic, and nobody who doesn't know what they're doing (or even what a partition is) even gives a shit enough to pay $25 for software that does that.

Besides, to them, if Windows fucks up, "the computer broke" and it's time to get a new one. Do you know how many old PCs I have sitting in my closet that I took from friends who I couldn't convince to just install a new OS?

Of course you don't.

I'm typing this on a Celeron 633 that was given away because the owner thought it was "broken" and nothing I could say would convince him otherwise. He visted my place a while back and saw me using it and was like WTF?!?! I'm running XP Pro SP2 and FC3 on it.
