7 has his moments but one does have to take him cum grano
salis. It is interesting to contemplate his creative
misspellings.
Vista => Pista
Windows => windopes, windops
Microsoft => Microshaft or Micoshaft
XP => ex-pee
etc. Presumably he's had bad experiences with Windows
in the past -- and he's not the only one.
Not that some of the the Wintrools [*] are much better:
"lienux" is somewhat common, as is "linsux". "Open sores"
is used by at least one trool. However, most of the trolls [+]
apparently prefer to simply call us liars and cheats (or some
variant thereof) for pushing a solution that "doesn't work
as well as Windows" in various capacities -- the most notable
ones being hardware and software support.
This is somewhat amusing in certain contexts x86-64
Linux support in particular came out well before Windows,
and Windows still cannot support IBM's z-Series, ARM
microprocessors, or 680x0-based equipment. PPC, yes.
(I think.)
I believe Linux also supported a certain RAID controller
first. I do not know whether Vista and nVidia have kissed
and made up even yet...and it's been how long since Vista's
release?? To be sure,
www.nvidia.com readily coughs
up a Vista-32 driver for nVidia for the GeForce 8 GPU.
However, there is no Vista driver for the GeForce FX 5100,
or for the GeForce FX 5500 -- which I think is what I have.
Buy a new card, I guess, if I really want to run Vista on
my 512 MB Athlon 1.4 MHz....though why I'd want to shell
out $349 for Windows Vista Ultimate Edition [I can't use
an upgrade on that particular machine] is far from clear.
Go ahead, try to convince me I need Vista. I dare you... -)
[*] in case you're wondering, the term is a combination of
Windows + troll + drool. If they're going to insult
my favorite OS...well...at least you know my biases
now, but I don't like to delve into personal vindictiveness
unless it's really really obvious that the poster is an
non-educatable idiot.
[+] Trolls tend to drool less than trools.

Windows. Because it's not a question of if.
It's a question of when.
