Since I calmed down a tad bit and noticed that insulting you endlessly would give me little to no satisfaction in the long run.

How about you actually tell us HOW it doesn't compare to Windows, so that we can correct your opinions and tell you what a moron you are? I mean really...

As far as Bill Gates goes, I don't blame the bastard, I mean he slanders off every other system, speaks about windows as if it was immune to every threat in the world and generally has monopolized the market totally so that any new attempt at an OS gets assimalated.

Aren't we all? Every single person on this board HAS used/purchased windows. Its not proted to linux or another OS so therefor you are defending/supporting them aswell.

Used? Yes. Purchased? Not fucking likely.

everything if your a gamer, nothing if your a programmer. or is that unix?

I get games to work just fine on Debian and RedHat (redhat more so than Debian, have both installed) so I don't see the problem people have with Linux and Games, it's not fucking impossible to get them to work right like it is with a Mac.

Now I will admit that Linux will never be the dominant system, used all over the planet and all such, why? It's not user friendly enough, meaning that every dumbass can't pick up a copy, stick his thumb up his butt and still be able to make his merry way to surf porn sites.

That's why Windows is at the top, it's an idiot friendly system.

While Windows is the most widely used and sold, Linux is a much more complicated and reliable system.

I'll quickly point out some of the advantages of Linux.

1. Reliability/Stability - I used to have two rigs, one with linux and one with windows, nearly side by side used on a daily basis for an year, in that year, my Linux rig crashed a grand total of 3 times, you know how many times Windows crashed? 63 times.

2. Preformance - Comparing preformances between WinXP and just about any Linux distribution (for me Redhat and Debian) I get 30%-40% preformance increase with Linux.

3. Unix - "Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away."

4. Security - There are a number of cases where security exploits have been fixed WITHIN HOURS of their discovery where as with closed-source systems it took them months.

5. Open Source - I'm just going to come right out and say it, Open Source=Freedom, why? Think about an OS and how it's being constantly built like a country, a country with freedom and creativity will rise to the top quickly, become the most advanced and secure. Where as a dictatorship will oppress the people in to submission under one path and no other path... Which country do you think will end up being the better? Yeah, now just think Open Source.

6. Software Development - Even with my meager knowledge on the subject, I can clearly see how much more programmer friendly Linux is, I think the open source bit kind of explains this too.

Okay, this got a tad bit long...<_<...but hell, you insulted something I hold dear to me.

Oh and before I listen to anymore silliness from people who claim to knwo what they're talking about when talking about Linux, would everyone who uses Linux on a regular basis please raise their hand.

*raises hand*

Right, I think I've made my ridiculously long point.
