		<description>linux, hah. home to conspiracy theorists and moralfags.

windows has WIN in it because its fucking pwnz.

The sole reason any given linux user exists is to put themselves on the cross and subject themselves to endless misery as a protest to Microsoft&#039;s near monopoly.

The implications of Microsoft &quot;magnitude&quot; aren&#039;t a concern to an end user who is apathetic to moralizing monetary issues of these sorts. For that individual, Windows will always be the easiest and simplest route, given they&#039;re not completely retarded.

Windows is the &quot;fuck your virtues and morality&quot; OS. It works. Its fun. Its well supported. The virus thing is true but you got to be an idiot to get a virus. Being only slightly more tech-savvy than an OSX user, one can get by easily and happily enough.

Linux is an extraneous and pointless piece of poo for an incredibly small and apparently butthurt minority of moral ass hats.</description>

		<description>I want the 10 minutes of my life that I spent reading this junk back.

I am currently double booting OS X / Ubuntu, and have to say that so far my linux experience 

has been wonderful. However OS X is the more stable OS.

Cheers.</description>

		<description>Microsoft is *unix code bill gates just wanted people to pay for it
and unlucky for you windows users the people coding it have not got a clue what it does.
And don&#039;t let me make you all forget about the big security flaws in 
iexplorer that hit the headlines a few weeks ago the french and the german government said don&#039;t use internet explorer and yes they did mention the newest version as well.You want your personal data stolen 
Microsoft is for you ,All i ever hear is my pc has got a virus, the internet is full of forums helping people remove virus from windows.
People are making a fortune out of the faults in windows.
It is a operating system for lazy people who cant be bothered to learn any thing because there to eager to get online and watch porn.
I could go on all day bill gates brainwash every 1 to buy windows to make him rich but some of us did not fall for his  ball shit marketing schemes,his favorite 1 i think is windows is secure feel safe ,try telling that to all these people that have had all there money stolen of there credit cards and from there banks because of the terrible flaws of Microsoft Windows.</description>

		<description>Jokes always leave me conflicted. I thought christianity was a joke, but then it turns out that millions of people buy into it, and more so when it makes less sense. &quot;God let a few terrorists hijack planes into the Trade Towers? Praise God, and ask him to help us win our football game!!&quot; In many ways the parallels to Windows are alarming. Windows works well for you? See, GodGatesIsGood!. Windows crashes, leaves you vulnerable, costs you buckets of money? Well, you just don&#039;t understand GodGates plan for you. See, the crashing has taught you to save more often, so now you are a better person! Got a virus? Must be something bad that you did that GodGates is punishing you for. Clearly you were not pure enough in your use of the gifts that GodGates gave you.

I use Windows, a Mac, and Linux. They all are miles behind where we should be, three decades into personal computing, with only minor variations to distinguish them. Give me a relational file system with simple, intuitive controls that my mom can pick up and use that still lets me exercise expert power when needed, then we&#039;ll talk. Praise Allahbuddahmary.</description>

		<description>Hey, Just want to say that I&#039;m a US Marine, I vote conservative, and still believe in America, though we could stand to clean house a bit.
I use Linux. Even for gaming. I haven&#039;t found anything yet that Windows is better for. Will you people please stop equating Windows to Republican or Conservative, or for that matter, Linux to Liberal/Democrat/Communist. As for Linux being illegal in the US, then why is it used in some of our military computer systems.

This site is either a joke gone bad, or seriously misguided. It was funny at first, but too many idiots are taking it seriously. Would be funny if it weren&#039;t for the fact that sites like this one (joking or not) are driving people away from Linux that could really stand to benefit from it, the Military included.

If the administrator could post some definite statement that this site is a joke, and validate the invalidity of the comments made in the &#039;article,&#039; I think it would leave people a whole lot less confused. You can put it out of the way so it doesn&#039;t break your little illusion or whatever, as long as it&#039;s there.
No, I&#039;m not being a zealot. I&#039;m annoyed. Got linked over from somewhere else.</description>

		<description>ok, dont get me wrong here. i do like windoze, but, i would like it better if i could surf without worrying about virus etc. so, i tried ubuntu, i like it better then windoze. i dont have to worry about virus etc anymore. thats the main reason for me moving to linux. not to mention its free. yes it has its problems, but, my problems with linux are far less then my problems i have had with windoze. i think linux is better. just my oppinion. im not a tech and i dont know everything but i know what works for me. linux is where i will stay.</description>

		<description>I am going to try Ubuntu after seeing the rave reviews for it, but I don&#039;t think I would be able to use Redhat or some of the other older distros without a tutorial or something.  About half the techs I know specifically use Redhat or Mandrake.  Is there a reason for this?  Are they better than Ubuntu, or just less GUI?
I consider myself to be a good tech, but grappling with the less user friendly Linux distros seems like it will be a challenging prospect.  I haven&#039;t tried yet, but I use Knoppix to bypass Windows security sometimes (overright admin passwords, take ownership of files, etc) and Knoppix interface seems overwhelming to me.  Anyone have any advise?</description>

		<description>This site is supposed to be a joke.  The creator is just acting as a troll to those who do not get the joke.

If you didn&#039;t realize, this site is presented in a very propaganda style promoting a multimillion dollar corporation.  The fact is that the information is presented in a very passionate, passive agressive way.  This should make it obvious that this isn&#039;t real.

&quot;The GPL EULA is composed of cancer-like terms and conditions&quot;

&quot;Everyone knows that without stolen Microsoft IP, Linux is nothing more than a bloated file manager.&quot;

&quot;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.&quot;


In fact, it is a real attempt to promote Linux.  Because the web owner lists the comments and responses, it is very clear that the tech savvy and more intelligent people are using Linux.

Basically, the site is written to look like an uneducated youngster created it, while those leaving comments are listing specific cases where Linux is unparalleled, including the fact that the website is running on a Linux server (probably an easter egg to show this is a joke), specific sightings on the website state that windows is not performance oriented, which released a slew of comments showing that the top computers of the world run Linux, including all well educated professions.  Most of the stuff listed on the site just requires a simple google to find that the facts are quite opposite and Linux is becoming the better option.

In fact, I was about to buy Windows 7 because I heard they fixed some of the issues of Vista, but after reading the posts and referring to the links posted, I am realizing that Windows is for those that are a little more technical than Mac Users, but not much.  Plus it is following in Mac&#039;s footsteps of taking all control away from the user for fear the user is a paste eater.  That works well if you are a paste eater, which is why it is easy to point out a Mac user in any group.  However, if I want to move on to being a real tech, I need to change to Linux.  I knew that all my hacker buddies used Linux, so I have been intimidated by it being to technical and over my head.  However, after reading about Ubuntu, I will have a go at it.

With this article about Windows pushing DRM, ( http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/don-t-give-microsoft-the-remote-control ) I want to abandon Windows as quickly as possible.  Almost all PC games now support Linux, and I can get compatible Adobe Acrobat Pro and MS Office open source programs for free.  I currently use Firefox, GIMP, etc on Windows, so I am using more Linux apps than I am Windows apps at this point.

Anyone notice that Flash Player 64 bit is still only available for Linux, but no Windows distro to date.  Maybe they know something we don&#039;t.  I&#039;ll be glad to be able to use Firefox 64 (Minefield) to watch flash movies, youtube, myspace, etc.  I can&#039;t even use IE 64 bit with these websites at this point, which makes my 64 bit OS annoyingly limited.

Good site.  It was a great satirical attack on Windows.  I am sorry most didn&#039;t catch that it was presented as if from a non-technical MS fanboy posting emotionally charged inaccurate, contradictory, or nonsensical information with no tech sheets or references to back any of it up, which was the whole point.  It painted MS fans in an accurate way.

Naturally, the website creator new that well informed Linux users would set down the real facts with plenty of references (including MS websites, funny enough), along with extensive tech and programmer backgrounds (such as the fact that Windows is mostly written in C too, and Linux is actually based on the same OS that Mac uses, UNIX).

Thanks again.  I will be making the switch to Ubuntu in the near future.  I had no idea that the majority, if not all high performance machines were running on a Linux based OS.  I&#039;ve been wasting my supped up computer on the resource hog Windows Vista all this time.  Someone shoot me.  LOL.</description>

<p>If you didn&#8217;t realize, this site is presented in a very propaganda style promoting a multimillion dollar corporation.  The fact is that the information is presented in a very passionate, passive agressive way.  This should make it obvious that this isn&#8217;t real.</p>
<p>&#8220;The GPL EULA is composed of cancer-like terms and conditions&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone knows that without stolen Microsoft IP, Linux is nothing more than a bloated file manager.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, it is a real attempt to promote Linux.  Because the web owner lists the comments and responses, it is very clear that the tech savvy and more intelligent people are using Linux.</p>
<p>Basically, the site is written to look like an uneducated youngster created it, while those leaving comments are listing specific cases where Linux is unparalleled, including the fact that the website is running on a Linux server (probably an easter egg to show this is a joke), specific sightings on the website state that windows is not performance oriented, which released a slew of comments showing that the top computers of the world run Linux, including all well educated professions.  Most of the stuff listed on the site just requires a simple google to find that the facts are quite opposite and Linux is becoming the better option.</p>
<p>In fact, I was about to buy Windows 7 because I heard they fixed some of the issues of Vista, but after reading the posts and referring to the links posted, I am realizing that Windows is for those that are a little more technical than Mac Users, but not much.  Plus it is following in Mac&#8217;s footsteps of taking all control away from the user for fear the user is a paste eater.  That works well if you are a paste eater, which is why it is easy to point out a Mac user in any group.  However, if I want to move on to being a real tech, I need to change to Linux.  I knew that all my hacker buddies used Linux, so I have been intimidated by it being to technical and over my head.  However, after reading about Ubuntu, I will have a go at it.</p>
<p>With this article about Windows pushing DRM, ( <a href="http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/don-t-give-microsoft-the-remote-control" rel="nofollow">http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/don-t-give-microsoft-the-remote-control</a> ) I want to abandon Windows as quickly as possible.  Almost all PC games now support Linux, and I can get compatible Adobe Acrobat Pro and MS Office open source programs for free.  I currently use Firefox, GIMP, etc on Windows, so I am using more Linux apps than I am Windows apps at this point.</p>
<p>Anyone notice that Flash Player 64 bit is still only available for Linux, but no Windows distro to date.  Maybe they know something we don&#8217;t.  I&#8217;ll be glad to be able to use Firefox 64 (Minefield) to watch flash movies, youtube, myspace, etc.  I can&#8217;t even use IE 64 bit with these websites at this point, which makes my 64 bit OS annoyingly limited.</p>
<p>Good site.  It was a great satirical attack on Windows.  I am sorry most didn&#8217;t catch that it was presented as if from a non-technical MS fanboy posting emotionally charged inaccurate, contradictory, or nonsensical information with no tech sheets or references to back any of it up, which was the whole point.  It painted MS fans in an accurate way.</p>
<p>Naturally, the website creator new that well informed Linux users would set down the real facts with plenty of references (including MS websites, funny enough), along with extensive tech and programmer backgrounds (such as the fact that Windows is mostly written in C too, and Linux is actually based on the same OS that Mac uses, UNIX).</p>
<p>Thanks again.  I will be making the switch to Ubuntu in the near future.  I had no idea that the majority, if not all high performance machines were running on a Linux based OS.  I&#8217;ve been wasting my supped up computer on the resource hog Windows Vista all this time.  Someone shoot me.  LOL.</p>

		<description>Internet Explorer was a licensed and  patent trademark of a company in Ohio back in the early 90&#039;s. Company offered dial-up to its customers, issuing them a Welcome packet titled &quot;Internet Explorer&quot;. Four years of 

fighting Micro$oft lead to the company going out of business.
On court day, Micro$oft opened by announcing it will pay the company 4 million dollars..for exclusive rights to use Internet Explorer. At that time Internet Explorer had been in the field for a couple of years.

So many companies have gone that way...thanks to Micro$soft.  By the way, if IBM had gotten patent rights to the software they contracted Gates to develop what was to be OS2.  IBM terminated the contracted..and Gates used the program to elevate his company.We would not have Windows today. Think OS2!!

Seems strange to have one company dominate the computer desktop...and have so many car manufacturers, food vendors, banks, etc.

All you credit card users, company that uses 4 letters, and you hate Linux, guess what....credit card account(s) are stored/approved/disapproved by Linux Database Servers. Gotcha!! Ha!!

Look for windows to become &quot;open source&quot; in the next 5 years.  By then only North America will be using windows OS, while the world uses a Linux-based OS.</description>
