Translation: alias can't google and can't (conveniently) remember that
links to market data have recently been posted.

Meanwhile our resident nut case Frankie thinks his non stop ranting
and screaming helps Microsoft sell more copies of Vista.

ROTFLMAO!

All OSes go through evolution, even Windows. Some are slower than others -)

You don't know sh*t about Marketing. Who in the hell do you think you
are fooling?

Reality check: Frankie claims he runs a "marketing" company yet admits
he runs it from his kitchen table at home and further admits he
doesn't have any web site to promote his "business".

ROTFLMAO!
 
Your should talk. Have you seen those Red Blue and Green dots yet?

I think most reasonable people know that users and OSes are not the same
thing. Some ill informed individuals like Frank think I AM Ubuntu, not
just a common mortal, prone to making mistakes that happens to be happy
with it after suffering with Windows since 92.

I wouldn't judge Vista by Frank's inanities. He's human and can only be
the way he is.

What really gets to the Vista fanboys is they *know* they will get
_nowhere_ extolling Vista in a Linux forum and the also *know* that
Vista is irritating users BIG TIME and the time is ripe for Linux. This
explains the vile and puerile posts by those Vista Wintards that have
their buttons pushed with the mere mention of Linux. For crying out
loud, sometimes I think Frank is going to have a stroke and I worry
about him!

HA- You ARE Ubuntu not a common mortal but a whining, preaching, noise
making, annoying mortal at that! Yes, it is better for you to be in the
"prone" position because that's how you get paid by the Ubuntu community,
Just FYI :-)

You've been suffering with Windows since 92, probably takes you that long to
read the manual. We've been suffering with you for eternity it seems !

You - Just another Lin-tard spewing your gospel to anyone who will listen,
but your audience is just like Ubuntu- Less than 2% !

No go out in the streets looking for Euros from the tourists, because you
need to show income with your "Two businesses" (Yea, right!)

Be careful with that Genuine Ubuntu statement. Pretty soon you will need to
activate it under the "Ubuntu Loser Advantage" program.

Microsoft was not "nowhere to be found" in 1981. They were already
well established by then. They had the dominate BASIC interpreters on
TRS-80s, Apples and others. Microsoft BASIC was *the* BASIC to have on
computers at the time. They had many other languages also - BASIC
compilers, COBOL compilers, FORTRAN, Assemblers, etc. Why do you think
IBM went to MS in the first (actually 2nd) place? Digital Research
(CP/M) was not interested, so there was no one else to turn to.

For you to claim that MS was "nowhere to be found" simply proves that
you are indeed what you appear to be - a clueless kid who was not around
at that time.

Well stated. Ubuntu does indeed look literally like crap. PCLinuxOS
is much better looking. I'm posting from it right now, running in
VMWare under Vista of course!

Alias has his head in the Ubuntu clouds and can think of nothing else.

They were non existent in the desktop OS market was my point.

Actually, I was just perusing the screen shots of PCLinuxOS and I plan
to download and try it out.
