I find it funny that this Linux Distro and the new KDE 4.0 GUI look much
like Vista right down to the transparent windows. Is this an attempt to fool
people to think it is Windows or is the Vista GUI what the people want ?

Have you tried it? It's a Russian website, and the 'partners' in the
US/Canada don't seem to know anything about it..

Excuse me? Transparent windows 3d gui, etc. have been available on Linux
for several years. It's MS playing GUI catchup - not Linux.

He seems to recommend a lot of things that he does not use himself, or has
no experience with.

ss.
 
the point is bozo brain, that Linux is getting better and better.
While with vista, windows just got a whole lot worse!

If it continues like this, linux's quality will surpass windows very soon.
And this was bound to happen.

On one side you have Microsoft, a huge company that is totally disorganized
and innovation and ideas and energy gets lost. Must I point to blogs of MSFT
employees that state this very clearly? And the other side you have a whole
planet of developers, their number is increasing, their knowledge is
increasing, their skills are increasing.

I would not be saying this, if vista was even "likeable" it didn't even have
to be great.
BUT ITS a POS OS! Vista was microsoft downfal, in such a competative area
you cant make mistakes like vista after 5 years of waiting for something
good.
And dont try to show me small numbers of linux use... that will all change
very soon, UNLESS a miracle happens and Billy gates really makes Windows7
the windows Vista should have been.

It's been my experience that those who don't like Vista are returning to XP,
not switching to linux.

Uh, not many. Less than 1% of desktops use or are contemplating using Linux.
This is roughly equivalent to the number of computer users who, at any one
time, have measels.

Linux users continue to exaggerate. The above posting would have been fairer
in saying:

"... some are looking...," or
"... a few are looking...," or
"... I looked..."

No, the point is: "Why do you care?"

What is it about your life that you undertake tilting at windmills, embark
on a holy quest, sacrifice your time, treasure, and common sense for a cause
of little moment?

Why is this endeavor so important that you imperil the approbation of your
fellow man, the respect of your friends, and the alienation of complete
strangers?

I'm sure in your mind the project is worth it, but I, for one, would
seriously like to know why.

No, the point is that you aren't arguing against his opinion, or arguing
for your own. Instead you went after the messager rather than the
message.

Typical way that Republicans debate. Can't discredit the message, then
knee-cap the messenger. MicroSycophants are the Republicans of the
Computing.

Considering you can't "migrate" to Mac OS that would be a feat.
Those that can afford a Mac should consider one, not everyone can.

The point is, 'bozo brain', that it is not exactly a trusted product, and I
wouldn't want to be the first to download anything from that web site.
