The Truth™
Intellectual Property
Don’t risk your personal and professional future. Ask anyone, Linux clearly violates Microsoft Intellectual Property. This has been proven in a court of law [1].
Sixty three [63] Microsoft software patents are stolen just to get Linux to boot up. And thousands more are infringed on by runlevel 5 [multi-user, networking, X11].
Are you sure you want that type of liability on your hands?
Linux users owe Microsoft 10s of Billions of dollars in damages to compensate for this infringement, and 10s of Billions of dollars more in reasonable royalties. Everything you do and create using Linux, Microsoft owns the rights to.
Without stolen Microsoft IP, Linux is nothing more than a bloated file manager.
Linux is Dirty
Linux is written and developed in antiquated C. The code-base is a perverse heap of undocumented spaghetti code that is impossible to work with.
Developers want to work with the Linux Framework as much as they want to work with Hannibal Lecter. GPL’d code is damaged code with serious issues that infects everything around it. It is a cancer that must be stopped.
Developers are migrating away from this sinking ship by the boat load every day of the work week.
Windows, in contrast to Linux, is written and developed with high quality Object Oriented C++, using best practices, with a .NET subsystem. The development tools such as Visual Studio are top notch, world class and mind boggling. And just like Bill Gates’ food, the source-code is only allowed to be touched by the hands of virgins.
Go to any company: if you have Windows programming experience, you have a job.
Linux is a Toy
As it turns out, Linux is nothing more than a toy you tinker with [tinker: to do random, unplanned work or activities or spend time idly]. A toy with lead paint. And lead paint is a dangerous substance. It retards the healthy development of the body and mind. Lead causes nervous system damage, hearing loss, stunted growth, reduced IQ, and delayed development.
*It is universal knowledge that Windows is light years ahead of Linux.*
And this is exactly why the Linux user-base is responsible for 97% of ALL copyright infringements of Microsoft products. Because at the end of the day, *they all need something that actually works* and gets the job done.
Linux has Poor Hardware Support
Linux might support more hardware than Windows, but the hardware is only supported 5% of the way. Users would rather have fully working and supported devices under Windows over broken or non-existent drivers under Linux.
*It is also interesting to note that Linux works best on older hardware: P3, less than 1Ghz, less than 512MB RAM. Anything more and Linux becomes unstable.
The Linux simply cannot handle the Gigahertz wave. The kernel has too many race conditions and process deadlocks.
And without stolen patented algorithms, it can only address the 1st 640 Kilobytes of the Gigabit.
Linux Will Not Scale with a Growing UserBase
Microsoft has over 1 billion installations. The userbase of Microsoft Windows [and related products] is very diverse, that spans the globe and every aspect of humanity. From languages, to cultures, to processes, to specific needs. From the individuals to large Corporations.
Software has to be designed, and supported, to cater to this massive, difficult and oftentimes conflicting userbase; from the start, to the end.
Microsoft has spent enormous resources to get this impossible job done.
And what has the Linux Platform been put through, relatively speaking? Absolutely nothing. The backward compatibility issues alone would break Linux in half, about a dozen times over. Increase it’s market share [currently at 0.8%], and it will be a bloated, unusable, virus infected, joke of an operating system.
Linux Does Not Scale in a Multi-User Environment
Ask anyone. Linux, in combination with expensive support contracts and huge, draining resources, might [and that is a *big* might] work with up to 30-70 systems on a network. But after that it breaks down, and it breaks down badly. Massive packet loss, data corruption, unresponsivness are all signs of an underlining Linux network.
And we have strong evidence that after 127 systems are connected to a Linux network, it becomes a black hole. It simply stops sending out packets no matter what you do.
The problem here is that Linux has not been able to reverse engineer and copy the internal NIC address map buffer beyond 7 bits.
Linux Users are in a Cult
Most of the Linux user-base is comprised of young and impressionable individuals.
The likes of Li*us, R*S [masked for legal reasons] and other notable individuals have corrupted the youth to create a cult to serve their personal and political agendas.
By providing the bored and disenfranchised with the opportunity to group together to fight a common enemy [Microsoft], the inexperienced youth is psychologically manipulated into joining this neo-Marxist Linux hive communion. They are offered a sense of family and a purpose in life. Then people just start to disapear.
The Linux community is not a user-base, but rather a pressure group of furor, zealotry and fanaticism. It is driven by fear, uncertainty and distrust. They have no middle ground. You are either with them, or against them.
*Linux is all about submission!*
Linux Users are Never Objective
Take note that while Linux users talk the talk, they never tend to walk the walk. “Taking one’s own medicine” is always expected to be done by someone else. This has been demonstrated under the Dell IdeaStorm initiative, … They harassed Dell into selling Linux systems, yet bought none. And since you cannot uninstall Ubuntu Linux from a system [the terms of the GPL/EULA are too ambiguous], Dell now has 100,000 boxes sitting in storage waiting to be shipped to a dump. They can’t even give them away to a poor country.
Linux Never Delivers
Since the foundation of Linux is all based on lies and manipulation, the Linux tends to never deliver on its promisies.
Linux Users are Dangerous
During the Linux initiation, new members ["noobs"] are forced to listen to the ramblings and incoherent speeches of other Linux Lifers until complete mental breakdown occurs, after which the programming can proceed. In this decrepit state, they are encouraged to eat their own feces while meditating on the sounds and sights of HANZEL UND GRETYL. You can see this every day on Linux sites around the net.
Some children have even hacked off both ears through self-mutilation after using Linux.
But it does not stop there…
After joining a Linux group such as Ubuntu Linux, new members are asked to upload their pictures [also known as "avatars"]. The members are then picked out for their male astectics/beauty and are requisitioned for “Linux Box” use. We will not go into the details, but it is sufficient to say that they end up taking care of the other members needs on certain IRC channels and cam sites. They are know in the Linux circles as the “tits”.
Rejection of god, and perpetual perversion ensures. This is the ultimate state of a Linux user. A psychological state lower than the EMO.
With Linux, the innocent are turned corrupt. Children go from playing ‘Magic: The Gathering’ to trading Nazi memorabilia on the back channels of ubuntuforums.org
Linux Users are Relentless
Simply put, you cannot convince a Linux user that 2 + 2 equals 4, let alone that an Operating System is a tool and not a way of life.
Also take note that lonely 14 year olds living in their mom’s basement are not people you should spend time convincing of anything as they already know everything about life, the truth and computing.
Linux users got their heads so far up their Linuxes that is it impossible for them to *shut the fuck up* and listen to the real conversation!
It’s a Feature, Not a Bug
Poorly thought out CSS implementations and loosely attributed rendering in Mozilla Firefox, both which allow for sloppy coding and practices, do not translate to as bugs of Internet Explore.
Learn the box model first, how CSS works, the backwards compatibility issues involved, then come talk to us.
See The Truth about Firefox for more information.
Family Values
What if you were hurt and scared and alone. What if you called 911 and no one answered? What if someone just raped you?
Welcome to the world of Linux. A world without compassion. A world under a dictatorship. A world where families are in crisis. A world where phone lines don’t work.
Microsoft is here to help you with a wide range of products for your home, your office, your living room.
American Values
As some of you might know, America is the greatest country that has ever existed, and will continue to dominate the rest of the world for the next 1000 years. And in this great country of ours, Linux *is* illegal. This is a fact. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. For they are your enemy.
The lesser counties of this world have conspired to rob America of its wealth. Their plan is : Linux. The plan itself is very devious, and we will not go into the details of it, but as a warning let us say that if you conspire against us, you will be destroyed.
Linux has no Value
With Linux you will know the price of everything, yet the value of nothing.
Total Cost of Ownership
Linux is only free if your time is worthless. *It is that simple.*
The Truth™ about Linux cannot be disputed.
Clarifications :
As some of you might know, this website was moved from a Windows 2008 Server with Hyper-V to a Linux host. This was done for testing reasons only. I wanted to be open to new ideas and be fair to everyone.
In this time period, it seems as if a hacker took advantage of the fact that we were now using Linux and was able to break in, and in the spirit of GNU/Linux, post hate speach messages and pornography. This person was even able to delete our ‘proof’ page.
*This is what you get with inherently insecure technologies like Linux.*
For the curious, the server was a default CentOS build. I even ran ‘yum update’ on it. Which is probably more than most Linux users are capable of doing.
If I can’t get an up-to-date Red Hat clone to be secure by default I don’t know what kind of a purpose Linux serves except to collect the retarded. No wonder this excuse of an OS can’t push through a single percentage point of market share.

ugh, I can only hope this is some kind of joke.
Win”doh”s more stable than Linux?? I don’t even know where to start..
let’s see… windows puts out vista and it lands with a thud… windows brings out home server and it doesn’t work properly and corrupts files…etc, etc. My Linux Mint… runs perfect on the first start up.
gee… let me make the switch right now… lets see where did I leave that $200 dollars that I was going to throw in the fireplace?
January 8th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
If I want to use cool Aero effects (or whatever) in Vista, I would need an expensive video card. In Linux, compiz runs on embedded video. That’s right, Linux can do cool effects better than Vista. Hell, Vista without effects on takes 750MB ram. Ubuntu with effects turned on takes 350. See the difference there?

How about:
You provide some proof for what you are writing? You do know that half the stuff happening in windows is probably based on older Os’s, ie Unix. which are Os’s that do what you want them to do, (not you having to do what the os wants you to do like with that extended DOS). The “violations” you mention already existed in Unix - which came BEFORE windows.
And btw, linux has nothing to do with a file manager, linux is a kernel. And if windows is written “using best practices” why is it so unstable? Why do most webservers (including yours) not run on windows? Your webpage is running on a webserver which supposedly violates various Microsoft IP.
BTW, there are quite a lot of things in Windows vista (everyone that I know that has ever tried using it has complained how terrible it is, even “standard” people, ie non geeks, don’t like it - even a microsoft fanboy I know of doesn’t like it…) that are copied from linux related things, the one I first noticed was that the standard Vista save as dialog is almost identical to the gtk save as dialog, albeit without a quick directory selector.
And then your drivel about firefox… While Firefox was away passing the Acid2 Test, various internet explorer versions vioalted the official web rndering guidelines. Only IE7, which is possibly the worst IE, passes Acid2.

You can only blabber in this site, nothing more.
Go look into giant corporates who use Linux. Almost all fastest computers run *ix.
Why do you think IBM, DELL, ASUS are supporting Linux?
Go convince them that its “The Microsoft way”, they wouldn’t even give you a damn.
You’ll be kicked out and thrown in some dustbin.
Linux Fan boys are not all youngsters. Go meet some people first. Jump out of your small well, tadpole. Infact it seems that YOU are some MSfan boy kid.

this sure must be a joke,a corporate reaction of Micros*ft,a desperate attempt to prevent microsoft users to migrate towards opensource software.After the UE comission dropped the bomb that it doesen’t want microsoft products in the UE,your idol got alarmed and started a propaganda to regain somehow the attention of the users.When you talk about comunists you should at first look at your idol =>Windows.It lies in every moment of it’s existance,eg. This could take a few minutes,and several hours later you end up with a nice blue screen that requires you to install windows again and again.If you really want to make a serios point of this site you should gather more information about linux and point out some positive aspects about it,and also you really should post some of the many negative aspects of windows,at your choice,then it will be a fair OS fight,not just a stupid propaganda.

“Linux Does Not Scale in a Multi-User Environment”
Linux was designed for multi user use, unlike Windows which was initially designed for one person.
“Linux Will Not Scale with a Growing UserBase”
Scalability issues with Micosoft server software is one reason why MSN uses BSD, it is better at scalability and Microsoft have quoted that as a reason why it doesn’t use it’s own software for MSN.

This web site runs on Linux (CentOS to be precise.)
July 1st, 2008 at 9:12 am
This site must be a joke or trolling, although I’ve never before heard of a troll writing a web site. But I’ve never fed a troll before, so…
It has so many blatant lies that anyone with a brain would know is wrong. Examples:
“Linux is written and developed in antiquated C. The code-base is a twisted/tangled heap of spaghetti code that is impossible to work with.
…
Windows, on the other hand, is written and developed with Object Oriented C++, using best practices, with a .NET subsystem.”
This is a lie. Most of Windows is written in C which is just as old as Linux; the Windows API for the most part is C. And Windows, unlike Linux, does not change many of its bugs because of backwards compatibility.
“Poorly thought out CSS implementations and loosely attributed rendering in Mozilla Firefox, both which allow for sloppy coding and practices, do not translate to as bugs of Internet Explore.”
This is a complete lie. The Gecko engine, used in Firefox, is the best of all rendering engines. It supports standards far better than IE. And the places IE does not follow the standard (which are many) are obviously bugs.
“It is also interesting to note that Linux works best on older hardware, P3, less than 1Ghz, less than 512MB RAM. Anything more and Linux becomes unstable.”
The is a complete lie and is funny as well. Becomes unstable with more RAM and a faster processor? Funny. How could a faster processor and more RAM ever make a computer unstable? Did the author read what he typed? I have Fedora Core 6 installed on a 2.0 GHz Athlon X2 with 1 GB of RAM, a GeForce 6800GS video cards, etc. It works great. Unstable? Get a clue.
And so on…
I’ll admit Linux has a few problems (that keep me from using it), but it is better than Windows in many areas. What I can’t believe is that someone has so much time that they would want to waste it creating a site as absurd and moronic as this one.
July 1st, 2008 at 9:47 am
To undaunted,
Your opinion does not negate the facts. It is also interesting to note how you avoided commenting on the Intellectual Property issues. What are you scared of?
Soon all your Linuxes will belong to Microsoft.

The whole truth, and nothing but The Truth(tm).
A sooo agree to all of this. A nearly got a whiplash for my agree-nodding trough this article. Windows saves your life, the job, the planet! My brand new shiny machine that (obviously) runs Vista is a dream to use, in fact I nearly have to _use_ it myself, the jobs kinda gets fixed all by it self. I downloaded a fixpeck.. or sixpack or someting… from the web, which totally rocks!! You install (and reboot), and when you hold down the two (must have) (super) windows-buttons on your keyboard, and chant soft-soft-soft (3times) into the microsoft… err… microphone, windows (vista) actually tells you to take a coffee break, or 4, while it does you work for the rest of the day. Its truly amazing!!
July 4th, 2008 at 3:33 am
I will not “risk my personal and professional future”… I dont want to do that anymore! I just started to wipe my hdd and remove linux… I want to install Vista…
I love instability, i love been insecure, i love viruses… i just simply don’t need a toy anymore.
Thank you kid, because you opened my eyes widely!
Just for the record: can you tell me what is the color of BSOD in Windows Vista? (ohhhh… sorry… you dont know what BSOD is? well… ask a friend and then you can write a good article about the color of BSOD in Vista)
Cheers kid!
July 4th, 2008 at 9:12 am
multi-core and multi-processor grid computing systems could never run efficiently under windows. parallelism could never be achieved, therefore we could never have number crunchers in the PETAFLOP range with windows servers. though windows servers do have their place in large businesses. the windows operating systems have absolutely no place in science, engineering or virtual reality.
and what the hell is microsoft IP? i assume you are refering to TCP/IP which has nothing to do with microsoft. might as well say Cisco IOS is microsoft too…

July 6th, 2008 at 9:52 am
NoName,
I hope you realize that it is both illegal and immoral for you to have and look at this source code. There are people that would very much like to know how exactly you came across this Windows source code.
July 6th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
For the ignorant: WRK is licensed by Microsoft to hundreds of comp-sci programs at universities across the world that use it as an example to teach their students about OS design. See the application here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/licensing/researchkernel.mspx
This site certainly gave me the giggles though. Check out the xhtml source code for some more laughs. Top notch trolling.

He does not have an answer for other actual facts about Linux/Unix.
I think this site is just for generating traffic or he might be in learning SEO kind of stuff.

it doesn’t matter if this site runs on linux, its probably way cheaper.. and insecure. he got his point trough do.

“Freedom is very scary. It’s like a giant ocean. The possibilities are endless. And Everything is new.”
Hey, what era are you living in? You are too scared to explore your options. You fear trying new things. Your brain is amputated by corporate world. You cannot think outside the box.
And when you use linux, yes, its like a giant ocean, the possibilities are truly endless. But bounded by your imagination.

Not to mention the fact that linux ILLEGALLY runs windows programs. Wine? that’s just the microsoft source code in an application run illegally. The Russians slipped some code in there so they can spy on you. With Windows you can feel completely safe but with linux you are being spied on by Russians. Also Windows is an American product and Linux is from Europe. If you use linux you are a potential terrorist.

It was brought to my attention by a colleague that a site named PromotingLinux.com was doing *everything* but promoting linux.
I’m not going to make this a long post, so here it is:
1. This site is not helping Linux adaptation in any way.
2. The material on this site is offensive.
3. I believe that some of the material on this site is in violation of several countries’ hate speech laws. You should be aware that I have notified 3 embassies [french, german, netherland] and they will pass it up the chain.
4. Linux is a registered trademark and no one has permission to use it.

July 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Dear Linus,
How about you start being a man, stop stealing Windows code, and take responsibilities for your actions?
“1. This site is not helping Linux adaptation in any way.”
This site promotes the death of Linux in a clear, factual, and purposeful manner. In a way, you can say that PromotingLinux.com allows Linux to kill itself by an act of suicide. No other claims are made.
“2. The material on this site is offensive.”
1) The internet is an offensive place. 2) We are not here to please everyone.
Enough said!
“3. I believe that some of the material on this site is in violation of several countries’ hate speech laws. You should be aware that I have notified 3 embassies [french, german, netherland] and they will pass it up the chain.”
America is not going to export me for prosecution. I’m too valuable.
“4. Linux is a registered trademark and no one has permission to use it.”
Your nugget must have really gone into overdrive on this one. Instead of surfing the net perhaps you should make yourself useful and go code a device driver. Linux has been missing those since 1998.
July 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

How dare you speak to Linus in that manner! Your mother should wash your mouth out with soap.
You are speaking to a haloed name.

this is Microsoft problem, Linux rocks and this is what really matter!
July 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Apogee,
I understand what you are saying but you have to take into consideration that the truth does not exist anywhere but in our heads. The truth is basically anything that is accepted. And when America, the greatest, biggest, most powerful and benevolent country on the face of the earth says that Linux is stealing Microsoft IP, then this is so an has to be accepted as fact by the lesser countries.

Admin,
by ‘lesser’ countries I don’t think you’ve watched the news lately. American dollar is worthless, so is our economy. Asia and Europe are definitely more powerful than the US.
Stop being a hypocrite. The only reason your website is up right now is because it’s running a STABLE operating system. By the way, did you ever get past that 1+ Ghz problem, or is your server’s processor under that???
HAHA!

Thomas,
You might not be aware of this since you probably get your information from liberal news shows, but not so long ago America courageously prevented Saddam Hussein from wiping out Europe with germ warfare. If it was not for America, 99% of EU would be dead and the other 1% would be living underground or in caves as cannibals.
And don’t even get me started on how America stopped the Nazi death machine when every other country caved in.
If it was not for America the rest of the world would be either dead or slaves working in mines.
July 8th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Admin, Why do you refuse to answer every question about the server your run this website with? I quote myself for you.
”

And one last question, how old are you? Seriously I would love to know.
Thanks,

@21 Originally written with C yes, and If I remember my history correctly…
the initial Windows 3 “protected mode” happened due to playing with
the loader and management for a system debugger…
additionally at that time they were using *pascal* stack convention,
just be careful with mixing code and make sure you get everything
right… oh… very true… Windows includes “memory protection”
and other “features” so the code CAN be written sloppy…
hrmm I should remember all that more often… but I am slow enough
coding on the platform in C# as it is …
Thanks for the Troll-site,
oh yes…
Point-of-fact… you can “take down” any Microsoft Windows OS simply
by knowing the NetBIOS name and setting a priority for DomainBrowser
any “non-Windows” will immediately “shutdown” the domain whether
“permitted” or not simply due to the protocol conflict…
only thing I know being “more chatty” on a network is AppleTalk,
but I readily admit not knowing ALL the facts there,
just the knowledge of an “end user” …
as for the claims of Windows vs Linux…
I *had* an older Motorola M88K Tape set of AT&T System VII
copy of original unix that predated Microsoft Windows 3.11 so,
I view most “patent talk” as FUD-war …
Truly I wonder how long Windows would last in a patent spat where
“prior art” evidence was shown in-court?
I think anyone going head to head in a patent fight is going to end
up losing because of the cost and money involved,
not the principle of the case or the merits of the evidence,
Microsoft is now the 8000 pound Gorilla company and doesnt see it,
IBM was but IBM has changed,
Microsoft *needs* to change,
Creative licensing isnt going to help when the licenses become
in effect the language of a lawyer…
Who is going to bother with a lawyer if they cant “just use it”?
How many people truly bother reading the manual BEFORE playing
with a new toy?

America courageously prevented Saddam Hussein from wiping out Europe? Hmmm….No. Just No. This should read: America are killing their youth through a subversive war for oil in a shoddy effort to stabilise their economy. When was the last time the US were in a sham of a war? oh thats right…. VIETNAM kid. Did you win that? did you? No! you got your asses handed to you.
“And don’t even get me started on how America stopped the Nazi death machine when every other country caved in.”
Yes. Thats the most historically accurate summing up of world war 2. EVER!
“If it was not for America the rest of the world would be either dead or slaves working in mines.”
If it was not for america, no-one in the rest of the world would either be dead or slaves working in mines.

Linux suffers from atleast an order of magnitude of more viruses than windows. If you are using Linux, then you are a potential danger to American computer networks.

Use Windows. It’s an American product. Anything else is stupid crap.
July 9th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Shit!
Microsoft refused to pay me for my shilling service.
Now I’m gonna tell all these people the true truth:
I have been shilling for Microsoft for about a week in various public forums. Now Ballmer refuses to pay me! The truth is that I’ve never used Linux.
July 9th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
WTF!!!
Microsoft has remotely disabled my computer. I’m forced to post this from my old dusty PC.
Oh wait!
There’s someone knocking my door. I’m sure it’s killers hired by Ballmer. I gotta run away from my house through back-door.

My friend has just told me:
The president has made a secret deal with Osama Laden with the following terms:
1. Laden attacks America on 11 September 2008.
2. Laden announces on 12 September that he is in China.
3. Laden gets new ammunition from President.
Now the president is busy pre-planning an attack on China.

As some of you might know, this website was moved from a Windows 2008 Server with Hyper-V to a Linux host. This was done for testing reasons only. I wanted to be open to new ideas and be fair to everyone.
In this time period, it seems as if a hacker took advantage of the fact that we were now using Linux and was able to break in and use my account to post the above 5 messages.
This is a Typical Linux User.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
just kidding, i love linux

I guess we’ll just have to put up with the above hacker until I move promotinglinux.com back to a Windows host. This is what you get with inherently insecure technologies like Linux.

That is the funnest blog I have ever read. I do like windows xp vista is crap and I also love linux and osx is kinda cool but for a freebsd system I think it should be free also. also tits should be free and not covered.

Microsoft as a fact, has violated so many U.S. Anti trust laws that in “settlements” with the U.S. Federal governments, MICROSOFT IS UNDER SUPERVISION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (or is it the other way around?). “Windows” (the graphic user interface for DOS) was ripped from Apple when Bill Gates did work for them “patching holes” (as seen in the movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley”).Every one of our Windows XP and yes, Vista (a name Microsoft ripped off from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (medical files operating system V.I.S.T.A.), and never paid for,has a media player that allows every one of us to rip, and burn, illegal copies of music CD’s.
What it comes down to is: 1. How deliberate and blatent is the offense; 2. How much money do you make from the offense; 3. Who’s work is being ripped off; 4. How many free operating systems you “Donate ” to the governments arround the world, and 5.Not having all your campaign contributions disclosed.
There is a reason I can’t go into a major department store and buy a HP or Lexmark printer with a debian based driver that will automatically install with the Ubuntu,SUSE,CNR,or any package installer, and has nothing to do with who’s operating system is best.
If Microsoft thinks America and the whole world owe them money, then let the law suits fly. Microsoft can certanly afford the lawyers. Microsoft doesn’t want to open that can of worms. Oh, and by the way, Ubuntu smokes Vista (if your Vista ever finishes booting up).
Signed: A Veteran from Pennsylvania (who Beta tested Vista free of charge for Microsoft and told them not to release RC1 seperate from a brand new gamming computer-and not to bother with the 32 bit version at all-way before they released Vista to the public).

” … In this time period, it seems as if a hacker took advantage of the fact that we were now using Linux and was able to brake in and use my account … ”
ANY attempt by the owner to blame the “cracking” of this site on the OS is not based on ANY fact. The blame for the cracking can only be put at the feet of the one who calls him/her-self “admin”. And their utter and complete incompetence and lack of any “admin” skills and/or abilities.
The reason this site was cracked is because he/she is not only a complete and total dweeb. But … 1)Because he/she is unable to preform even the simplest of an admins tasks. 2)Because he/she knows so little about being an admin or the steps necessary to secure a server. 3)Because he/she didn’t even take the necessary precaution of doing a port scan to see if/what ports were open and vulnerable. And then closing them. 4) Because running any patches to preemptively close any potential holes in the security of the server, is/was a task well beyond what he/she is capable of.
In short, this site was cracked because he/she is a complete, total, and utterly clueless shit-for-brains. Period. Plain and simple. And should not be allowed to play with any kind of sharp object because they will hurt their-self. Let alone try and pass them-self off as knowing shit about computers, computer Os’s, or computer security.

July 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Those as some harsh words you have there.
The server was a default CentOS build.
I even ran ‘yum update’ on it. Which is probably more than most Linux Nerdheads and ‘tits are capable of doing.
If I can’t get an up-to-date Red Hat clone to be secure by default I don’t know WTF kind of a purpose Linux serves except to collect the retarded.
No wonder this shit of an OS can’t push through a single percentage point of market share.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
If you want to talk about something being insecure lets talk about Bind. Just today I was reading the news how the latest exploit lets motherfuckers like the above take COMPLETE control of the DNS system and then the webpages.
And don’t even get me started on Sendmail. You can take down Linux Servers by, GET THIS, sending them a frickin EMAIL?! Or how about the 30 year old BSD bug that just got fixed last month. Keep your Linuxes! We don’t want them.
This never happens with Microsoft *solutions* because there is an actual company that you are dealing with. And not a bunch of wannabe hackers looking out their mom’s basements daydreaming about anime porn and galactic conquest.

You think that people want “free”. That’s the problem here. People want a solution, not a headache. I’ve worked with Linux. And look what happened! I’ll gladly pay for a printer using Windows technology over some brick with open source GPL drivers. That’s Linuxes biggest issue, that without a corporate structure and a for-profit business plan no progress will be made.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Just the line about GOD pretty much dives this lunacy.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Listen everyone; I know that Microsoft has had a few problems. I’m not denying this fact. But you have to take into consideration that Microsoft is dealing with a billion+ users. This is a scale that is beyond insanity. There are fools out there supporting their Linux apps that have 10 users thinking that they can do better than Microsoft. They have no clue. A few eggs have to be cracked to make an omelet. This is how progress is made. Linux is like a burp compared to Windows. it would take Linux 20+ more years to do what Microsoft was doing 10 years ago. It’s both a structural and technological problem.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:21 am
You’re pointing your speech in the legal issues the Linux Kernel carry inside (like you say), but, i wonder, like very much people wonders too (like i guess) Why are you hosting this site in a LINUX CENTOS SERVER? Why, if your Windows are too stable and good, aren’t you hosting that site in a Windows 2003 server, as example? Almost all servers runs *nix Systems, and the price is not the only reason, the stability and robustness is clear. Please, do more productive stuffs than show things like that.

I had written a big old long reply. But decided that it would do no good. So instead you get this.
All you have here is fear, hate and lies. Lots of accusations, but no proof, no facts, nothing. You say, … “And we have evidence …”, but offer none. You state, … “This has been proven in a court of law …”, but offer no cases or judgments in support. You more or less quote … “Sixty three [63] Microsoft software patents are stolen ..”, but like Steve you offer nothing as proof. And then you offend us with … “the noobs are forced to eat their own feces…”, all of it is nothing but fear, hate and lies.
But what is worse then the fear, hate and lies is this … “Rejection of god, and perpetual perversion ensures. This is the ultimate state of a Linux user.” You have the balls to use GOD as a shield from which you stand behind hand spew crap like this.
There is a special place in your Hell reserved for you. I hope that you enjoy yourself there.
Now just take your fear, your hate and your lies someplace else. Just go the fuck away!

July 10th, 2008 at 3:50 am
Ha Ha Ha…talk about stability and Microsoft…yea that is micro..soft! Your codebase can never EVER be as strong and reliable as Linux/Unix. There is an HP-UX server in my enterprise which has NOT been restarted for 35 years….and blingdows cant survive 35 days! You have the audacity to come up with a site which a unix lover would want to check and then realization dawns that you an MS FANBOY will and can NEVER even understand how reliable unix is! Here is one more news….all critical and generic projects in MICROSHAFT is stored on SOLARIS boxes! LOL. Think this site might also be on apache…otherwise reliability gets tossed out the window!
July 10th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Nice work of trolling sportmanship, congratz,
I only believed it until the inaccuracy really went beyond the realm of fanboyism into the world of sci-fi.
If only you had picked your hosting provider more carefully and it would’ve looked like you were really that mis-informed. Too bad, otherwise very nice trolling stunt, hope it gives you some giggles, you closet linux fanboy!

My Linux friend is saying that he can create new functionalities in his OS by combining simple commands like ls, cat, xargs, cp, echo using pipes and redirections. But whenever i want some new functionality, i just can’t add it unless microsoft releases a new software. Looks like I’m a fool.
He is saying that he can backup a whole hard-drive by using a single pre-existing command like “cp /dev/sda1 partition-image”. I need additional software like Hard-Drive Backup or Microsoft Data Backup Manager. Looks like I’m a fool.
He is saying that he can create an ISO image out of a CD-disk by using the command like “cp /dev/cdrom image.iso”. I need additional software like Nero CD Burner to do this. Looks like I’m a fool.
But no.. I’m not a fool. I’m just a guy, like billions of others, who isn’t free from the Microsoft Ecosystem yet. I’m just a guy, like billions of others, who still have no clue about what can be done with a computer. I’m just a guy, like billions of others, who is forced to buy a new version of windows for new features even when my friend is adding new functionality by simply writing simple one-lined scripts. I’m just a guy, like billions of others, who hasn’t come out of the Microsoft promoted myth of “Linux is hard”. I’m just a guy, like billions of others, who is totally blind to all the illegal stuff Microsoft does. I’m just a guy who isn’t introduced yet to the level of control that non-microsoft software offers to users.

OMG!!! Linux hacker is leaking out many well-guarded truths about Microsoft.
I still can’t understand how he is able to access this site properly. I have used Microsoft Frontpage so that the website violates all known RFCs and violates HTML standards in every conceivable way.
July 10th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Wow. Just reading through the comments here. Parts of that cross section I didn’t think existed. I guess every point of view has their share of “stupid extremist.”
I’d like to think that the person claiming to be Linux Torvalds isn’t, as I’d like to think he wouldn’t do something so stupid as responding on a comments board, but certain decisions of his (running for governor of California, preferring KDE over Gnome, etc) lead me to believe he could be.
Given the content of this page, I can’t think of it as anything except a self-parodying satire.
That doesn’t mean I know what its purpose is.
July 10th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
WOW! I’ve got a brilliant idea. I’ll recommend to Ballmer that Microsoft should create a new transport layer protocol MSTCP, or better still MSIP, or even better - MSEthernet so that no non-microsoft person can connect to the site, let alone render the web-page. This is very easy now as Ballmer bought ISO a few months back.
EDIT:
My Linux friend informs me that TCP, IP and Ethernet were standardized long before Microsoft was born. So there’s no way Microsoft can play politics there. Shit!! I’ve come close to inventing a brilliant idea for Microsoft. What a pity it is that I’ve missed it!!!
July 10th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
It’s costing me lots of money and time to do all this shill stuff. I’m going to take a long vacation to Redmond. I need to consult new Psychologists to invent to new ideas about shilling.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
See!!
The Linux server is intelligently labeling me as “admin-fake” even if I post as “admin”. You can try it too.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
WTF is happening here!!!???
Looks like the idea of introducing new ISO networking standards - MSTCP, MSIP, MSEthernet is the best option I’ve got. Otherwise, all of Microsoft’s secret business strategies are going to be leaked.

We’ve already introduced Microsoft Silverlight which is a “cross-platform” and “cross-browser” web platform which is 100% compatible with only Windows and IE.
We can introduce (read innovate) Microsoft-specific extensions into silverlight so that, in future, we have total confidence that other browsers are unusable with these websites. And we can code IE so that if IE is running on MS Windows, allow user to post and if it’s running on another implementation of windows (like WINE), don’t allow user to post. Then we can start spreading propaganda that Windows enables people to do things that are not allowed by other OSs. This seems like a nice strategy.
What is your opinion, Mr. admin?

Even the last line on this page is a lie!
July 10th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
WTF!!!???
Something really bad is happening back at Redmond.
Untill yesterday, Hardware manufacturers rallied behind Microsoft. We kept the game running by giving Hardware Compatibility Certificates and OEM Discounts to ‘those Hardware Manufacturers who provide drivers for Windows but maintain highest level of secrecy about how to program their hardware’.
This raised the adoption of that hardware in the market. And consequently, this created a feeling among users of other OSs that the failure of their OSs to work with the hardware was the fault of their OS and not of the hardware vendor. This, in turn, further increased Microsoft’s market share. This increase, in turn, made Windows-compatibility more important than releasing hardware programming documentation. This, in turn, increased the difficulties of other OSs. It’s a cycle, you see. It’s the same trick that has been consistently used by Microsoft to create problems for other players in the market.
I don’t know whether this is anti-competitive. (We have lots of money. So we can use it to delay the courts’ judgements about our anti-competitiveness for as long as possible). Anti-competitive or not, we created a healthy business model for both ourselves and the hardware manufacturers who backed us.
But now it seems that the facts are rapidly leaking. The awareness about the importance of open exhaustive documentation is rapidly increasing.
These are bad days for Microsoft, I have to agree. It’s disappointing to see our old useful strategy losing its power. But there are some positive hopes for Microsoft too. Some people who call themselves as “open source evangelists” are fighting for “open source” instead of open formats, open programming documentation for hardware, open protocols, open interfaces, open specifications and open standards.
The people of the so-called “open source movement” are helping Microsoft, unwittingly of course, by diverting everyone’s attention from issues that are more important. Thank you open source.
With best wishes,
Steve Ballmer.

I agree with you! Antiquated C should not be used for operating systems anymore. Luckily, MS windows doesn’t use it for it’s kernel. Oh, wait…
July 10th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Anyone who says that C should not be used for operating systems is surely never involved in the technical side of operating system development and never got enough level of computer science education to realize that languages that are higher-level than C hide several things behind the back of the programmer. Yes, such abstraction is very helpful. But not for OS development. The lowest level of programming must not use more abstraction than what is appropriate.
July 10th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
All serious operating systems are written in a mixture of Assembly language, C and C++.
Linux - Assembly + C
FreeBSD - Assembly + C
Windows - We can never know, but Assembly and C must be present
Ask any good computer science graduate and he’ll explain you why assembly and C are must needed in OS development.

Different of business, science is not based on hate. This website probe one more time that the only driven force of MS and their fans is money. With Linux a lot of companies make money but their retribution to the community and science is enormous. (You can be successful without being evil). By the way, do you want to be trained in CentOS (GNU/Linux OS)?
July 10th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
This site is pathetic. “some hacker stole our proof page” Dig up the information again you lazy little shit.
The only reason Wind*ws has any chance of being in my home network of computers is because of World of Warcraft and some future Direct X 10 games. That is the ONLY reason I would consider using wind*ws. Since I’ve started using Ubuntu, my health is better just from the lack of computer related stress.
If you MS fan boys think Linux is just for kids or to play with that fine. Sit back and watch as linux take a larger and larger share of the market.
You give a good rant though. I haven’t heard whining like that since I told my 5 year old he couldn’t have Ice cream. No worries. I would complain too if I realized the OS that I’ve invested so much money in is being broad sided by a free os. That is rather sad. I feel for ya. oh. yep. I’m over it.

Don’t you have money to host this site on Windows platform? You loose credibility when you have this anti linux blog on linux platform.
But don’t ever dream that microsoft will give you a job or Gates will donate his funds to you, for this….

uhhh, sorry I haven’t been around for a while I lost all my files on Vista…I suspect this has to do with linux fan boys sending me viruses…
July 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
This website made my day, I needed something to give me a good laugh. Haha!
July 11th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Hahahah.. I’ve had to restore vista from a crash on my brand new laptop *twice* now in the last six months… It dual boots linux and the linux system hasn’t even crashed once (and I use it far more than vista). Exact same hardware, vista was preloaded by Sony, I loaded Ubuntu. Seems obvious that vista is garbage. AND, I can’t even back load XP on it because the laptop doesn’t support XP (because MS won’t allow them too).
Windows is good for what it is.. A single user operating system with limited multiprocessing ability. Much of what windows is MS stole from zerox, IBM, and others if you want to play that game.
It’s main advantage is that game programmers put games on it because it’s already on 80% of the worlds desktops (thanks to very clear antitrust vilolations and monopolistic behavior - but I guess that’s just business right ?)
I’ll be impressed the day more than a handful of super computers run windows, rather than linux/unix (as they do now).. Just google “super computers run linux” and see what I mean vs “supercomputers run windows”…
July 12th, 2008 at 3:03 am
What kind on grass do you smoke? Please, share… Have you ever work (read work,not test) with Linux, Windows or Mac???? If you’re looking for an easy System to chat, play or surf on the web, install XP or use MAC… If you want and Enterprise Server top run MS Access or SQL servers and you are not too clever, Windows 2003 server is an option. But, PLEASE, be seriuos and professional: If you need all power and control, AND (&&) you know how to do it, you just use Linux…. It’s not the question wich Op. System is better, but how good are you!
July 12th, 2008 at 3:26 am
Best. Troll. EVER!
I am a little bit ashamed of the Linux supporters who didn’t catch the joke, come on guys it was almost believable for a bit but illegal in the US? The irony is that the best argument on this page is Linux users are zealots because of the comments. That being said many people did pick up on the joke and comment as such.
I do wonder if the admin will maintain the joke for much longer or eventually come out of character and tell us about what motivated him to make the website as well as a few other things I’d like to ask.
July 12th, 2008 at 5:43 am
The problem with this dude is his ego. He probably had an entry level IT position in some bullshit job. Tried Linux for the first time and couldnt get his little brain around it. probably hosed his company’s server in the process and got his little punk ass fired. So now his unemployed ass is on a anti-Linux trip. But his ego wont leave it alone. He still HAS to use the unsecure and evil centos to run his server. Microsoft windows IS GOING DOWN. it is not a matter of how. it is WHEN. Stop giving this pussy an excuse to talk more shit. He is unemployed and soon cant afford to run this server. if you have ran any linux distro to any capacity, then u know better. leave this pussy to his anime jerk off.
July 12th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Funny thing is, http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/ actually tells me more about the OS technical stuff more than this fancy website do.
July 12th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I just realized that America isn’t a country, Linux is better than windows and I’ve been acting like a complete asshole. I’m going home to my boyfriend, Bill Gates, to get pounded in the ass.
July 12th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Please somebody teach me linux!
July 12th, 2008 at 10:49 am
I wrote this “truthy” article, and I had my thumb up my ass the hole time I was doing it. YeeHaw!
July 12th, 2008 at 11:13 am
The problem with this site is pretty obvious from the comments.
If you read it carefully, it is clear that the author had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
But a lot of people seem unable to see that. I can see this site being linked in discussions as “proof” that Linux is inferior to Windows. Now, that might be good for a laugh, but at the same time it will also convince some people.
Maybe we don’t need such people to run Linux? Well, maybe we don’t. But still, breaking the Microsoft Monopoly is a desirable end in itself, and potentially this site works against that.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:44 am
This is a joke.
July 12th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
whilst the genius of the site concept and design is highly amusing the comments section proved both hilarious and petrifying! for those with the patience, intrigue, and complete lack of try using google, wiki, etc to investigate the concept of deadpan.
PS ubuntu linux sucks because vista is so much more secure and runs fairly well on my quad-core 16gb PC, i’m glad because viruses fund terrorism…
July 12th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Linux never delivers on its promises.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:28 am
By the intelligence level of the comments posted here, I would have to assume Linux is primarily used by complete morons.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:32 am
It’s funny because it’s true! oh, wait…
July 13th, 2008 at 11:18 am
hi you all linux lunatics! seems you don’t have brains.
we all know linux is good as server, but as a consumer desktop os, it’s bullshit as joke. that’s why it it’s market share doesn’t exceed single digit.
July 13th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
This is true! Linux is the devil’s work and Ubuntu pure blasphemy. Mark Shuttleworth is Satan’s tool. REPENT NOW I SAY for my second coming is Nigh!!!
Bless you all and remember to pray every day… and vote republican.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
The Microsoft way is the true way huh? You forgot the “or else” at the end. Lol. I dual booted Ubuntu with XP less than a month ago so I could become familiar with linux(because I have no plans for personally switching to Microsoft’s new collaboration with fisher price, aka vista) and the funny part is I hardly even touch xp now. Ubuntu was easier to set up and install software on than windows. You read that right. Not to mention that it runs faster even with all the eye candy turned on.
The market is changing, especially in the midst of this fiasco with vista. Soon Microsoft will have to earn their customers rather than just inherit them like they always have.

Read the whole thing before you post, idiots. If you have an attention span longer than the average 8-year-old’s, you’ll get to the “Linux Users are Dangerous” section and have no doubt about whether this is serious or not. Then you can just enjoy it because it’s entertaining.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Linux users think that Microsoft employees are out to get them. Get it through your skulls -> you are not that important.

Hey did I mention that I support not paying taxes including the M$ tax? Just wondering if I made it to post on this site yet.
July 15th, 2008 at 12:38 am
Thank you for this wonderful article.
I was about to buy such a Linux and now I’m glad that I didn’t.
Linux looks like a cancer.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:32 am
ROTFL!!!
The seriousness of the comments are almost as funny as the site!
July 15th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Hmm… it looks like MS would be annoyed by the fact that you are using their logos without permission and also spreading allegations that even MS fails to confirm or support.
Seriously, grow some balls and use some self respect.
July 15th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
What logos would that be?
July 15th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Thank you. Thank you so much for this article. I work in a department that handles all the IT decisions for 12 school districts, which is soon to be expended to all the districts in our state except for two.
Over the years, some of our students have expressed an interest in Linux, which their teachers passed on to us, or to someone down the chain.
After considering the various factors, including costs and our aging Windows 2000 systems, this year we began formulating a plan that would have converted the entire school system to Linux.
After reading this article and sharing it with my manager, the select IT guys, and a few decision makers, that plan is now canceled. I am so relieved, it could have been a major disaster. Oh my god. You have no idea.
Thank you again.
Judy.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
You’re a fucking peace of shit. This site is destroying Linux.
July 15th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Has anyone clicked on the links in the first section (Intellectual Property)? Be prepared to behold the “proof” with your own eyes!
July 15th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
It’s kind of funny that he bashes the GPL license: “GPL’d code is damaged code with serious issues that infects everything around it. It is a cancer that must be stopped.
This site is run by Wordpress, which is a GPL’d software.
I’m surprised to see no ads here, I’m sure he’d made good $$.
July 15th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I hope this is some kind of sick joke!
@k12 in California: Linux is by far the best OS! Don’t kid yourself! We run hundreds of linux servers and I can’t think of a better way to spend my day then managing them all, it’s a dream to come to work. If you ever re-consider linux for your students start with fedora or unbuntu.
@Phil Dufault: I agree, look at LAMP. The biggest web hosting setup in the world!
@Marvin: Intellectual Property? Ha, you have got to be kidding! How do you explain the new Windows 7? ‘Ripping’ ideas off another OS is also a breach of ‘Intellectual Property’.
Don’t get me wrong, I run windows XP for developement work. But you can’t say Winblows is better than Linux!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
The way this guy point out the “TRUTH” about linux reminds me of Fox news and their angry Bill O’reilly. It could convince me that Linux is crap like how Fox news has done in past few years…
July 15th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
@ judy: Don’t listen to Mavrick. You made the right decision. And this is precisely why I proactively edited out your email after seeing your post. So you would not get harassed by these people. They are crazy.
And check your email, I sent you some info on educational discounts at Microsoft, and also an edu code for a Microsoft technet subscription that drops the price down from $299 to $99. It will allow you to evaluate ALL Microsoft products for free.
@Mavrick: “We run hundreds of linux servers…” This gave you away. Hundreds implies more than 200.
There is a hard limit set of 127 servers on a linux network. It’s a problem with the code and the way the IP stack is handled. Thanks for trolling.
July 15th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
@Phil: Just because the router returns that this site runs on Linux and Wordpress, does not make it so. Get a clue fool.
I’m going to have to talk to the hosting master and tell him to switch me off that opensource shit and put me on Cisco gear. Or at least route me the fuck around it.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
this is, by far, the best and most elaborate joke i have ever seen. congratulations.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Hey! The guy who made this website stole my Windows XP cd key!
FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 that one’s mine! Somebody call the NSA, this guy’s a hacker and a huge security threat
July 15th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
hey admin, every think that you may just have a little bit too much free time on your hands, if you think linux is so bad, mabe you should walk in to a flock of penguins with a suit covered in fish on
July 15th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
oops, miss spelled ever…. D’OH!
July 15th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
wow, this article has every anti-linux fud i’ve ever seen on the Internet.
Nice job!
July 15th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I would like to apologize for all the negative things I’ve said about Linux. I realize now that my claims had no basis in reality, and that I let the other idiot half of my schizophrenic personality overpower my ability to think rationally. I promise from now on I will try to take all of my medications on-time to avoid further embarrassment! I may fall off the wagon now and then; kindly ignore me when that happens. I love all of you, my Linux brethren!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:21 am
This is totally ridiculous. No operating system is perfect so lets see what flaws Linux and Windows share:
- Both OSes have hardware compatibility issues (hell, ALL oses do — I am sorry — but it is IMPOSSIBLE for any OS to support absolutely every piece of hardware in existence)
- Both OSes have bugs
- Both OSes are suseptible to user-end mistakes
Yeah, I think thats about it off the top of my head.
Now lets look at some more facts:
- Windows only dominates the market because of their obscene marketing budget
- Windows is also “always in beta” only with Microsoft, you’re paying out the nose for it
- Any OS that ever leaves beta and is NOT constantly developed and improved upon isn’t worth shit
- I get security, stability and immunity from most spyware and viri for FREE with Linux. I have to PAY to get PWND with Windows.
- Most Windows installs do not detect most of the hardware and you NEED the manufacturers drivers discs to get things to work properly. Linux for me, 9 times out of 10 — properly detects and makes use of all of the hardware.
- When a Linux Application crashes it doesn’t take the whole PC down with it like MS does
- The Linux desktop is faster and more configurable
- Does not scale with a multi-user environment? Are you on crack? I don’t need to buy “PCnowhere” to be able to remote into my system. The desktop is easier to use than a MS desktop. Multi-user accounts are easy to setup and use. My god the list goes on.
I could rant forever but I’ll end on this note:
You are either very ignorant and have not done much research into Linux (or) this is a Microsoft Propaganda Tactic. From 1994 to 2008 I have run Windows for all but the last 2 of those years. I switched because Windows did not give me what I needed and Linux gave it to me.
I got sick of running on an unstable POS. Linux gave me the stability to do what I needed to do. It’s been a godsend.
Your propaganda is what people should worry about. Especially when you say things like “All Linux Users Are Software Pirates” and “Linux Is Dirty” … please. Linux is all about free software and open source. How in the hell do you pirate an open source application? lol
Do more research. You’re making yourself look like a fool and all of your feedback shows it.

July 16th, 2008 at 1:38 am
I would like to have a debate with you about this.
Then we can set up our networks with our OS of any type ( I am guess you would go with Windows) and we can have a little battle. What Network will get exploited first.

The funniest thing about this page has to be how many people are taking it seriously. Very creative.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
============================
“It is also interesting to note that Linux works best on older hardware, P3, less than 1Ghz, less than 512MB RAM. Anything more and Linux becomes unstable.”
The is a complete lie and is funny as well. Becomes unstable with more RAM and a faster processor? Funny. How could a faster processor and more RAM ever make a computer unstable? Did the author read what he typed? I have Fedora Core 6 installed on a 2.0 GHz Athlon X2 with 1 GB of RAM, a GeForce 6800GS video cards, etc. It works great. Unstable? Get a clue.
====================================
Not that I really care about one side or the other.
But I can answer that in two words.
RACE CONDITION
or another two words
PROCESS DEADLOCK
either of these is frequently exacerbated by faster processing.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:30 am
Do you really want to compare Linux against Windows in terms of stability? Intellectual Property? I agree that there are some “parts” of Linux were inspired (and not stolen) by Windoze, but these “parts” are not natively under Linux but third party open source applications. Also, hardware compatibility? Of course Microsoft has better support, it also eats more resources. The higher the version, the higher its system requirements. So which do you think of the 2 sucks?
July 17th, 2008 at 4:29 am
REALLY: you are serious about this? I can’t figure…
Some posts seem like a humorous approach, but in many more you take some serious standing (pro Windows). Anyway, if this is NOT sarcasm, you are SOOO retarded! (I won’t bother to get any arguments to anything, you simply do not know what you’re saying)
July 17th, 2008 at 4:34 am
Windows is the best OS ever. I do not understand why do you bother to run this site. You DESERVE to stay with Windows, no doubt about that!
PS: this was sarcasm. This is not: you are a typical idiot.

I love to say it, but America is NOT the greatest country in the world. I’m Asian and have lived in the States longer than I have lived in Europe. Europe is much better dude. Even my friends, who are from the States, are migrating to Europe.
