Not wrong, sorry. Installing programs for Ubuntu is MUCH easier than
Windows.

Not a lie. You can use the GUI for almost everything in Ubuntu.

Which it does, if you use your brain when selecting your hardware. It's
not difficult. Boot the LiveCD of your choice and see if it works.

Worthless trolls like you seem to be horrible liars. Most advocates
would admit that Windwoes* works "okay" with the exception of the
terribly inadequate security.

*Excepting Vista, which just plain sucks.

Well, there is truth in the "money" statement above... There's no

Re: Reeople would rather pay for Windows than use Linux.

i do agree there had a few distros on my machine already and regardarding
the linux gui some of them
compare very favorable with windows. however i dont think that its time to
move over yet as there are
issues such as drivers user friendliness and games and compatibillity in a
few years time i would be
more than happy to delete my windows for good as soon as this issues have
been resolved.

Comprehension problems eh?
Try switching the thing around a little.
"Could VIRUSES exist without windows?"
Yes, MSDOS had full virus support too..
Comprendo?

I didn't see a single NASA reference in your Google list. Got a
specific one? I don't think NASA would touch Windows for anything
critical with a ten foot pole. At least I hope not.

Mars mission pilot: Hey Mission Control, our computer just said our
copy of Windows is counterfeit, now what the #$(#!$ are we suppose to
do to get back home?

So you fix some windows machines at a cost but don't actually fix them well
enough that they wont have more problems.
You get some people to install Ubuntu but you don't know how to make it
secure.. you have admitted that in the past here as you think its secure
when you install it which it isn't.

Windows, Solaris, OSes based on linux and FreeBSD are very much alike, they
are more alike than different, something people often forget when arguing
which is best.
They all have a kernel responsible for schedulling, etc. and a layer for
handling I/O, and another layer for running the applications.

They don't run Linux as in distributions like Ubuntu on these machines
though.
Am I to assume that the fact they don't means the 99% of "Linux" they don't
use is cr@p just as you want us to believe is the reason they aren't using
windows?

OH! *now* I get it

Could Linux users exist without changing the subject?
