Then they got it wrong! again!!
The biggest market for computers is amongst those that don't think.

Can you answer some simple questions?
Why do linux user think they are in competition with windows in the first
place?
Linux is a free OS supported by enthusiasts that doesn't need a large
installed base to exist.
Why do you think it needs to beat windows.
Why do linux writers waste so much effort trying to be windows?
Why do you waste so much time trying to make Linux into windows?

Or where you just lying...again?

How come I have been able to buy windowless PCs for years then?
Including Dell and HP both of which you say can't.

BTW since when has an increase from 0.37% to 0.57% been almost double?
You should look at the figures before you believe the reporters.
The iPhone has gone from 0% to 0.09% in less time so I guess it will beat
windows and linux based on your logic.

It won't matter because your predictions won't come true. He won't need to
know how to support a TOY OS for geeks and nerds.

That's easy, with Windows off the Net, the Net would be a safer place.

No, I don't and don't use the word "we", speak for yourself if you're
man enough to stand alone. If there were a "spiritual kingdom" would you
really want to go there? You would have no body so you couldn't see,
touch, smell, hear or feel. Einstein proved that nothing can be created
or destroyed, only the form can change and that, of course, makes more
sense than there is some god up in the sky with a list of who's naughty
and who's nice. When you die, your soul cannot be destroyed and simply
takes up new form in a new body.

And to which version of the Bible are you referring? Do you even know
how many times the Bible was changed for political purposes over the years?

I have and it's more difficult and takes longer than Ubuntu when you
factor in all the programs you want to install.

I'm pretty confident that using "we" was correct in the context that it
was used. I'll ignore the other part of your stupid, ignorant comment.

Of course!

That's why it's called "heaven".

Really? You just barely smart enough to outsmart yourself aren't you.
Too bad, but that's your problem.

Oh really? I don't think so and certainly hope not. I don't believe in
pre-destination or reincarnation...but that's your problem...not mine.
As a fringe person you've obviously done a lot of rationalizing over the
years.

It is faster and easier to install Vista the OS than it is to install
ubuntu.
The amount of time needed to install all of the others apps depends on

not work on any linux distro (just one of the major problems with linux)
so using any linux distro is by any measure, limiting.
