Re: A foolish statistic

Gee. If Dell sold 10 computers with Linux last month, and 20 computers this
months, that's a 100% increase in sales - which means absolutely
***NOTHING***!

Conversely, if Dell sold 42,000 computers with Vista last month and 50,400
this month, that is a 20% increase.

If you were Dell, which would you rather sell?

The figures point out that if you make Linux
available they will be sold.
If you read what Dell is saying is that Linux
sales are increasing and Vista sales
are practically dead in the water.

Re: A foolish statistic

I have been playing with every version of Ubuntu available for the past
three years. I use them in a virtual machine.

I would "never" install Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution) directly on a
computer, nor would I ever purchase a computer that has Linux on it. That
is, unless someone has a new computer using Linux that they just have to get
rid of (at a ridiculously cheap price), because they have found that what
they want to install on it doesn't work.

Then I would buy the computer and wipe it clean, install Windows, and resell
the computer.

I'm surprised you saw an insult there, it was just a statement of fact IMO.
If you thought that was an insult you should avoid using the Internet as it
is full of adults who may actually insult you one day.

Re: A foolish statistic

I see that you put "never" in quotes. I get no desktop effects in VirtualBox.
I think I need to install Ubuntu unvirtualized to see its desktop effects.

Ubuntu is getting new users at the expense of other strains of Linux.
Fedora, Red Hat and Suse are losing to it. Do not kid yourself that all new
Ubuntu users have dumped or intend to dump MS operating systems.

Why don't you go rescue them? Are you afraid of alt.os.linux.ubuntu? You
could use your usual polite manner. I'm sure that would convince a lot

Yeah, the general public just loves Microsoft. I've been using Windows

That doesn't make MS responsible for untrained/stupid sales clerks.
The same situation is very present in Audio/Video stores, where they
are hired, told to wear a tie and sent out on the floor. Everywhere
you go, this is very common. Car salesmen are no different, I went to
a dealer yesterday to have a look at some '08 models and stood there
aghast as some idiot told me that 'All Wheel Drive' & 'Four Wheel
Drive' is exactly the same thing, only they are 'marketed' different.
These days, you have to do your own research on products and that is
one very large benefit you get from the WWW.

Your definition of insult, avoid, and issue must be odd.

Re: Linux is FREE....Where are the users??????????????? LINUX is F

I couldn't agree more. There is much similarity between major computer
stores and car dealerships. Both rely on the customer not knowing anything
about the technical aspects, seeing only the sale as being important.

I can see why you like alt.os groups. I pulled out of helping in the alt.os.
windows groups. The regulars acted like pigs, and the people going for help
were insulted as a matter of course. There are a number of people trying to
bring this group down to the same level. Very sad.
