100 million copies sold in 300 days. That's quite some funeral.

Funny, You LinTards were making similar claims last year, and the year
before that, but the market share
for your Pet OS continues to fall as Microsoft chips away at what little bit
of the pie you have left.

LinTards such as yourself were claiming that 2007 was the year for Linux,
the year that Microsoft would go bankrupt and the year that Linux wouild
take over the desktop.

Ahahahahahahahahah..... 300 days later, and Linux has <LESS> presence in
the marketplace and VISTA owns 7.5% of the marketplace.

What happened boys?

How many did they sell? a dozen? Two dozen? And of course, no one wiped
the HD and installed a pirated copy of Windows did they?

Ahahahahahahahahahahah.............

Linux - the Never Ready for prime time OS.

Yup, no one ever installs a new video card. Besides x-windows probably
won't support it anyhow.

Linux makes you stupid.

Yup, real soon now... Soon.... Wow, and it only took 25 years.

Amazing progress. A round of applause to the UniTards.

There is no commercial equivalent to wine.

And Wine has never been out of beta. Further, even it's own creators
claim it can't be taken seriously.

Wine - Yet another LinTard Failure.

But since there are no other viable operating systems, that's not really
much of a problem.

And it was still a triumph for the LinTards. 18 LinTard PC's hit the
street.

It't not that difficult. Web browsers identify their type and underlying
OS. Further once a web site has been touched and the IP of the originator
know, then you can ask the OS at that IP, what OS they are running (and
provided that the port request isn't blocked), you know the OS.

You can then scale the results with the known sales of Windows (or the mac)
and get a measure in absolute terms of the number of users in total for a
particular OS - where that OS is used in browsing.

Surveys are also used of course, (and I have taken part in several) and
other methods.

Now on the server side it's a little more difficult becuase you don't have a
random sample of machines identifying themselves. I don't know how it's
done in that instance. But direct sampling of a series of hosts might be
possible. Select a series of web pages and then identifying the IP and then
requesting from that IP the type of OS serving the pages.

"Linux doesn't run any of my Windows applications, which are the ones
most people use--or want. Missing applications is Linux's major
shortcoming for ever gaining meaningful traction on the enterprise
desktop. There simply aren't enough applications along the server
stack to the desktop. The one most businesses want is Microsoft
Office. "

", Linux is like the foreign auto with missing parts, but nothing more
important than a couple wheels, brakes or steering column. The auto is
fine for stationary use (e.g., Linux servers) but the makings of a 10-
car pileup if taken on the roads (e.g., Linux desktop). For consumers,
even Ubuntu is like driving without a windshield or doors. "

"Recently, I swapped the hard drives between two Gateway 295C Tablet
PCs. The major component difference was the graphics accelerator. The
one model had an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2300 accelerator and the other
integrated Intel graphics. When booting up after the hard drive
switch, Vista loaded a generic and inadequate VGA driver, which is
sensible. Within minutes, Windows Update had identified the correct
video driver and made it available for download.

Linux can do that? Linux is notoriously fickle about hardware--and mere
mortals shrivel up and die before the great altar to Linus Torvalds
when installing hardware drivers. Vista drivers are easy compared to
Linux. "

I haven't read the crap, because its probably Gary Steward nonsense
again, not worth waisting my time.

It defiantly does. each day more and more people are getting aware of
the fact, that GNU/Linux takes away all the viruses, spyware, unwanted
web popups and more of the Micoshaft mallware.

What really happend was Wal-Mart figured out they had Linux machines instead
of Windows machines and returned them for credit.

How many people actually do that? I mean, seriously? Switching hard
drives from one machine to the other is rarely done. Especially on
windows where it causes a _lot_ of grief.

But yes, X doesn't like changing cards. I'm sure if this was something
people were doing on a regular basis that they'd develop a fallback to
VGA or SVGA.

The greedy linux users bought them all, no new users there, sorry.

Thought about buying one of these, format it and install Vista, but that
would take time and 100.00 or so extra bucks. I see the same machine is
available already with Vista and this is the cheapest way to go. WOW Vista
for only $79.00 installed...WHAT A DEAL

Re: Linux Is Vista Killer. (Who would have known?)

Be careful if you do that.
About the time of Windows XP release, Wal-Mart also sold Linux
computers.
Apparently there was insufficient demand and they were soon dropped.

A friend considered purchasing one and installing Windows XP.
However Windows drivers were not available for all hardware so some
hardware would have had to be replaced driving up the net cost.

Also look and notice the hardware specs are very low:
1.5 GHz
512 MB RAM
80 GB hard drive
There are no expansion slots to install/upgrade video, sound, NIC
cards etc.
This computer appears as upgradable as a laptop.
Etc.
Any desired upgrades can drive up the price of a seemingly inexpensive
computer.
Perhaps better options in the more expensive models.

Yes, probably better to buy a 3 year old machine with slots than this
thing with only what's on the limited MB.
 
Re: Linux Is Vista Killer. (Who would have known?)

Charlie
Hardware wise, the three year old machine may be equal or better.

A lot of what you pay for on these boxes is the operating system and
programs installed and configured.
You remove those features and you have poor quality and perhaps
unusable hardware.
