whats your take on microsoft training material claims against linux and mac?
ill start off by saying im not bias towards any of the competing operating systems i use all three windows linux and mac on a regualar basis. and i personally think that microsofts claims agist its competitors are the most inacurate pile of crap i ever heard. its almost as if microsoft’s only tactic is to convince everybody that everybody sux but them. so far every claim made by microsoft aginst its competitors i can proove to be false. i have nuthing aginst windows but this b.s. makes me want to leave windows and use linux or mac. i dont like companies that have to spread lies about ather companies just for its own sucsess. i dont dislike windows but im starting to get a bad taste for microsoft. mac takes shots at microsoft too. but they always show you evedince of their claims. and let you make your own conclution for the most part. linux is a diffrent animal yes. windows comparison to linux was ubuntu. if you never set up ubuntu the right way the the codec packs and updated distro packs then yes its true what they say. its like microsoft is making claims over sumthing they have no idea how to use themselves. these are just my opinions. im curious if anybody feels this way or if im just crazy.

Just leave windows its just not worth it. A person spends so much time cleaning and fixing their pc that they never have time to enjoy their computer or the internet.
Microsoft is rude and mean too. I prefer to work with open source people they are much nicer. Oh and you can even look at the source in Linux and change it too.
Both Microsoft and Apple make false claims. Linux is is great though, but I mostly use Windows. My take is that I really don’t care what they say, if I can get their software to do what I want, then I’m happy.
In comparison to Linux MAC is just flotsam and you never hear Linux shouting about how good it is because it doesn’t need to
Windows do not see MAC as a threat but they do Linux
Microsoft admits Linux threat

INSTALL LINUX WITHIN WINDOWS
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 7 Main Edition which is Ubuntu 9.04 based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint has a feature called mint4win based on the Wubi installer (Ubuntu) http://wubi-installer.org/ which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows (Windows 7 run mint4win in vista compatability mode)
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
mint4win like Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.

You download the iso. image of Linux Mint then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD
Boot in to windows insert the LiveCD you have just created and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint.
Linux Mint can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive.
