I do believe in both hell and heaven. What I don't believe is that you

have to wait until after you die to experience either one.

I have ubuntu installed.

I'm not impressed...

It runs, but not so well...it looks old.

Takes some digging to set up, and I really haven't noticed it being fast.

I have a PD 3.2GHz , 2 GB RAM , and it doesn't seem to use it much.

It is IN NO WAY a replacement for Vista....Vista outshines it in every way.

But it has been fun tinkering with it.

It may or may not be the upcoming thing but why do you lie about it if it

is?

If Ubuntu really were good and could do everything for everybody there

wouldn't be a problem with what you say.

However as it isn't its time you told the truth rather than having many

dissatisfied "customers" thinking Linux is junk.

That is rubbish if you are talking about vista.

It is very similar to ubuntu except it has more feedback on how progress is

going.

If you can get your machine to boot from DVD you can install vista by

answering maybe 15 questions.

You should try it some time.

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?

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?
