Ah, but Alias, as you have been told many times before, "If one

 

needs/wants to run Windows applications, then in many cases one must

 

run Windows".

 

 

 

If, for example, one needs/wants to communicate with the Thai Customs

 

Department one must use their forms if one wants to do this on the

 

Internet then one must use Windows and Office as that is what their

 

entire system is geared to. You may say that Open Office is "just as

 

good" but the Customs doesn't care no MS Office form, no

 

communication.

 

 

 

The Indonesian Customs was even worse. When I worked there they had a

 

pre-configured application that one needed to have to send/receive

 

communication through the Internet to their system. Linux may very

 

well be better, but they just didn't care. They used Windows.

 

 

 

I have been involved with several projects where the client

 

communicated only Windows/Office documents and drawings only in Auto

 

Cad. If you couldn't do that then you couldn't work their contract.

 

 

 

So you see Alias, while you may be correct in extolling Linux

 

unfortunately until the rest of the world becomes a Linux World it is

 

simply stupid to advocate the system for general use.

 

 

 

By the way, a friend who works for IBM and is a project manager on a

 

project to up-grade "K Bank", a large Thai Bank's entire computing

 

department - hardware, software, the whole caboodle, tells me that

 

some 12,000 work stations, nation wide, are being replaced, all of

 

which ran Windows and are being replaced with...... Windows. And this

 

is being done today, when people like you are shouting the benefits of

 

Linux.

 

 

 

So you see, you may believe that Linux is better, unfortunately it is

 

not a matter of "laugh and the world laugh with you". You are laughing

 

and the world isn't listening.

I can cite just as many governments that use Linux and, like your

 

examples, besides the point of my post. Facebook, Twitter, Email, IM,

 

WWW, etc. work just fine in Linux and much safer for the home user.

Most home users and most business users would not need Auto Cad nor

 

would they need complicated Word docs.

You seem to skate right over the points I raised. Not that Linux won't

 

work, but that there times when only Windows will work.

 

 

 

Of course, that little bit of logic seems to be something that your

 

one world operating system doesn't seem to accommodate well.

 

 

 

You keep bemoaning the un safeness of Windows, so tell me, why is it

 

that I have never had, with but one exception, and that from a pirated

 

disk copy, had a virus or other form of mal ware that effected the

 

operation of my computer in all the years I've been using one, and I

 

do back to the Apple Dos days on home machines and earlier as a user

 

of community machines.

 

 

 

Is this because I am such a super man, or is it that perhaps, with

 

even slightly sensible use, that mal ware is not the demon that you

 

portray it as.

You are a geek. You know how to secure Windows. Most people don't which

 

is why 3 out of 5 Windows computers are infected and hundreds of

 

thousands of Windows computers are in bot nets bringing you spam and

 

malware straight to your in-box.

(I forgot the disclaimer in my OP where I say I know of

 

GIMPshop, but it hasn't been updated since 2008, and was very

 

buggy anyway. I had tried it, and it didn't seem to work

 

properly.)

Does anyone really care...?

Yes, when you need to interact with the Thai government or

 

Indonesia.

 

 

 

What about a home user that doesn't need to interact with

 

foreign governments, or doesn't have ties inside some big

 

business ?

And even then it's doubtful that they would know if you used Open Office

In most instances, they are worried about being able to handle the data.

 

Makes no difference how it got into a form they could use. A few years

 

ago I submitted a 'powerpoint' document for a church directory - created

 

100% on a Linux system with OpenOffice - simply saved out as a ppt file

 

and they never said a word.
