dude its here the people are just to stupid to responed to it. Look at what distros like linux mint and other ubuntu based distros can do. way more then windows
For years the general public have been coned into thinking Microsoft windows is the only operating system out there
There are more high profile companies working with open source Linux. the general public don’t know about.. For instance Dell and Hp have been using Linux for years on their business systems.
Walk in any Computer store in the USA and you will never see Linux systems on sale or advertised. Computer stores get more profit out of selling high priced Windows. Microsoft are forcing people to move on to Vista,,
Dell are promoting their system with Ubuntu Linux installed on them in Europe in a big way, Dell need to do that in the USA
When one takes the trouble to find out who uses Linux one gets some very big surprises for example
NASA… The next flight to Mars will be controlled by Red Hat Linux, The open source (free public version) of Red Hat is Fedora 8
USA Army, Air force and Navy, use Linux
USA Universities use and develop software in Linux,
Linux controls 85% of cell phones
IBM, Intel AMD use Linux, The internet servers are controlled with Linux, The list is endless. If people took the time and trouble to research Linux they would save a lot of money…
Microsoft have controlled the home computer users for years now they want to control the Internet. They have offered Yahoo $44.6 billion to buy them out,, if that happens Microsoft will control every aspect of our online Lives that should not be allowed to happen… it is your choice, stay with Microsoft and be controlled. Move over to Linux and you’re in control
well, maybe, but it would be difficult. To begin with, a Linux distro would have to be released that could run most all windows programs. Actually, that is about the only requirement I can think of. There are already distros that are easy to install (Ubuntu for one), and if it did get that popular than more first party drivers would be released.
Believe it or not, there’s not only a "war" between Apple, MS and Linux, but theres a war between Linux distributions for supremacy, personally I don’t see one unified Linux OS anytime soon.
The free, stable system is already there and available. The "masses" are not interested.
Actually M$ did serve a very useful purpose – it brought about a pretty much single computing environment, so that it is easy to share information and data between users. Once upon a time there were many, many OSes that were not compatible, and required special programs to convert disk and data formats so that you could share / use other peoples’ data.
