I know what the article said. I read it. But still it doesn't matter that
Dell is offereing Ubuntu. Ubuntu no matter how you slice it, is still a
TOY, and people want to play with toys. After users deal with Ubuntu for a
short time, they will ditch Ubuntu and move to a platform that will allow
productivity.

You're entitled to your ill informed opinion. Too bad you're wrong.
Windows is the toy OS and only good for playing GAMES.

How WRONG you are. Millions and millions of people are very productive on
the Windows platform. Hundreds of thousands of companies use Excel and Word
to run their businesses. The Macro capabilities of Excel and Word (Visual
Basic for Applications) helps people automate their tasks. You can't do
this with OpenSores Office.

Look at all the developers writing software (custom applications) for their
businesses. Most medium to large compaines have custom software written to
automate their businesses. Most of the development is done on the Windows
platform.

Unix is great for servers in the business environment. I have to agree that
the Unix server is far superior to a Windows based server. I have never
disputed that fact.

What I do dispute is that Ubuntu would be productive to the masses on their
home machines. Just isn't going to happen. Unix/Linux/Ubuntu must mature
for that to happen and I don't see that for at least 5-10 years. Maybe then
will it become mainstream. Microsoft may keep shooting itself in the foot
and we will see a transformation, but in the near future, just keep looking
at Unix/Linux/Ubuntu and all other variations on the sidelines.

Like I said, you're entitled to your ill informed opinion. Dell isn't
increasing its Ubuntu offers because no one wants it. Dell does market
studies before they spend a lot of money to deliver a new computer. You
are talking out of your ass as usual. Your other lame post about DVDs
proves this.

Wrong. People don't know where to turn for information if something doesn't
work. There is NO easy way to extract the information. You are the who
talks out of your ass. You think the world should revolve around Ubuntu and
it doesn't. I know that is your dream, but hold on to your dreams because
it just might take 10 years to it to become true. For now, Ubuntu is just a
blip on the radar. Ubuntu is FREE and people ARE NOT FLOCKING TO IT.
Doesn't that tell you something? Imagine a FREE PRODUCT for everyone and
their market penitration is small.

Get over it, use Ubuntu all you want but preaching to the Vista users will
just wear out the skin on your fingers.

Ah, argumentum ad populum. I suppose it's to be expected that
a total dick would succumb to the lures of fallacy.

Hey, Billy, have you ever heard of lemmings? Do *you* think running
over a cliff because that's what everyone else is doing is *smart* ?

Anyway, I'd say that most custom work is actually done in Oracle
itself, or inside applications such as SAP which aren't windows programs.
There's some stuff like StatPak that IS done in Excel but heavy lifting
requires a dedicated application.


>the Unix server is far superior to a Windows based server.

Well, ya know, you're not even right about this. Depending on
the role a Windows box can be a much better choice. For instance, there's
NO unix based equivalent to Exchange even the commercial Exchange
"replacements" are just approximations. Window's main liability in server
deployments is that it doesn't scale well. It's a great choice for
small-campus work.

>What I do dispute is that Ubuntu would be productive to the masses on their

And you base that on...a particular distribution requiring a
driver install for a particular use case? If your mind was a parachute
you'd be making a big red mark on the ground right...about...now...

you can't accept that as fact cause you're little pointy head would

Don't think so, but I won't be able to change your mind. You are stuck in
"The World Must Use Ubuntu" Pretty typical for the Ubuntu Marketing
Department!

Of course you would say that. You have no clue. Oracle is a database
application. You haven't been around much. Hundreds of thousands of
companies use Excel for dedicated applications. Quite a few use Access
also.
