Death to Windows

Why death microsoft, microsoft produces
the best operating system there is, why
whould you wanna kill a company like that?

I mean, I had to buy a license for every
version of windows seven just because
I wasn't sure which version I wanted, sure
I spent like all of student loan
but, oh boy I'm happy I did :D

You should all check it out, you know it has
this awesome new feature with icons on
taskbar! :D I love it, I would have
spent $1000 more if I had to.

If you wanna kill a company, go kill intel,
they are really messed up, have you read
the news lately?

You know, I had similar thoughts about 7's new icon taskbar. I was going to keep vista on my laptop just for that. But then I realized that you can do the exact same thing in both gnome and kde. So I got rid of all windows on my computer, and have been linux-only for the last couple of months. And TheRob, I don't care if you like windows, but do you actually use linux? because I've only seen you make pro-windows comments, and talk about how it's the "best" OS, and whatnot. And if you don't then it doesn't make sense for you to be a member of this site, of even this group.

actually, you can't.

But maybe in the future if you go here
and vote:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207902

I don't know about gnome tho, but I highly
doubt there is a working solution.

I don't know what posting on kde-look
actually has to do with using linux,,, as
kde works just as good on windows.

but yeah, I haven't used windows for many
years, I was just being "sarcastic".

Tho what I really hate more than anything,
is a 14 y old idiot who gets his ubuntu
installed on his comp and starts talking
about how good it is, since it has
wobbly windows! wohoo!

I'm sorry if I offended you, I was just curious to whether or not you were using linux. Sarcasm generally doesn't translate well over the internet. And I did forget about kde for windows, I'll give you that. But there is a plasmoid for kde that can give you a windows 7-like appearance: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/STasks?content=99739, and another program for gnome that can achieve the same effect called dockbarx.

well, yeah... I prefer smooth tasks myself
but that is a fork from stasks. Tho none
of them include the icons on taskbar...
...just the tasks.

Ie, you can not "pin to taskbar" in windows
language.

And no, you did not at all offend me, I'm
used to all kinds of crap here on opendesktop :D

That's true, but still the same happens with 14 yo idiots who try windows7 and say how good they are because they have aero shake. So? Same people, different OSes. At least the Ubuntu idiots of that type are much fewer.

hehe, okey, maybe that's the way around
there, here everybody is still using
xp saying that it's the only real windows
there is :)

most ppl here show hostility towards anything
that's newer than xp :D

so I can honestly say I haven't met
anybody like a typical "ubuntumaster" here.

....same trend seems to float around here
also, anything microsoft does is automatically
bad just because it's microsoft, well I
can honestly say I much rather use
any version of windows rather than
ubuntu, thank god there is real linux
versions floating around that doesn't
try very hard to be a windows copy.

Hmmm copy is a really hard word. Canonical's boss said that Ubuntu's aim is to achieve the functionality of OSX. So I suppose Ubuntu copies apples more than windows, but do they copy indeed? Lets see it in a different way. Sharks are fish which live to the sea and have a fusiform shape because they need to be fast to catch the fish they eat.
Dolphins on the other hand are mammals which live to the sea and have a fusiform shape because they need to be fast to catch the fish they eat. Both so same and simultaneously so different. That means that one of the two copied the other because was jealous of its abilities? Nope, but they both evolved in that way because it was the preferable method to be able to survive in the same conditions. Something similar happens with the OSes. They need to evolve and gain certain functional abilities if they want to be able to survive in the mainstream of the Desktops.
For example, OSX gave the first modern ideas of eyecandy, while Linux brought eyecandy in massive scales. Now windows do the same. They had to. It's more a way of interchange rather than copy.

Now if I prefer to use windows rather than Ubuntu is a complex decision. For example we see Ubuntu with what point of view? Philosophically or technically?
In the first way, if someone is advocate of FOSS then he would prefer people to switch to Ubuntu because it will be easier then to switch to other distro, rather than to windows.
If we see it technically then each one chooses according to his needs. At least with Buntus you can choose between 3 flavours and soon between four when Lubuntu is ready, if you think that a flavour indeed copies windows or osx or whatever. We should never forget the many options Linux offers. You can even transform an Ubuntu sytem to a totally different distro is someone is mazochist enough :-)

Linux as a core system is something
so epic it needs no discussion.

Idiots like canonical do tho. Their acts
are questionable. Someone here at opendesktop
refered to them as microsoft 2.0, I dunno
I laughed hard and long, that was my
thoughts exactly.

no, I don't think Ubuntu is necessarily better, I just haven't tried any other Linux distributions yet. Though it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Windows. On my computer Windows was constantly freezing-up (I have 512MB RAM), but then I tried Ubuntu, I was completely new to it, I had a person on http://answers.yahoo.com helping me to enable compiz, he/she didn't know very much, so I went on googling, then about a month later I uninstalled Ubuntu, and went back to Windows Vista, then I got a virus and went back to Ubuntu, then I found out how to enable compiz.

window is not the best O.S.

Osx is da best.
windows 7 has exactly the same bugs as windows xp, it switches the keyboard language to english every now and than.

there is another error, witch is 100% equal to windows xp/2000, how ever i can't recall and i don't have lust to spit around in my emails i have send to mr steven sinofsky

windows 7 is definitely better than xp, but still not good.

windows has no hotkeys to show the desktop.
osx does and has other hotkeys that make you work faster.
impossible to win, you're more productive on a OSX.

many people, if not most, don't have a clue what their are doing.
most of them don't have the quicklaunch bar activated on the statusbar and there for don't see nor know about the 'Show Desktop' button and close/minimize each and every window every time they need to be on the desktop.

every windows lacks safety.
i can write a 10kb app and screw your entire registry.
(witch result in 100% guaranteed reinstall).

each fool can clodder up the system folder.
3rd parties drop residues in the system folder.
(residues, that stay after you unstill the program)

than the windows installer/setup systems suck.
too many next next next screen.
on OSX execute setup, drag drop program icon anywhere you like.
uninstall > drag icon to trashcan.
(it's a sort off container that contains all the library's and ...)

microfot windows series is a pos to generate cashflow.
they charge 319€ for a full option OS and they charged more than 500€ for vista.
you can buy OSX for 199 and have a 5 user license.

my friend and i have helped hundreds of peoples with their pc's, removing virus and addware, etc, etc.
each and every soul on the planet witch has a windows system has problems.
i have a friend who own a computer store, it's disgusting how many come by just to have their windows fixed again.

my bet is: windows is build like this on purpose.

you're pretty much obligated to buy a windows pc.
go to any big shopping centre and you'll only see system with windows already installed.

preinstalled windows on hp, dell, packard bell, etc, etc values around 35us$, a retail version 319us$.

i have a mac since 2004 and i have never need to reinstall the system, it still runs the factory installation.

even if you don't install anything on your windows system and once a while defrag, you'll have a slow system after a year. however it's 100% clean and no apps have been installed during this time.

WINDOWS SHOULD DIE.
calculate the value of Bill gates, steve balmer and Paul Allen.
just by buying someone operation system for 50.000us$
they dind't invent anything, they just bought and integrated.
it's this mashup, why all their software fails.

The fact is that there's a whole industry making an effing lot of money out of windows (not only M$). There wouldn't be that lot of money if windows was a bit less buggy on purpose.

Defective by design... and on purpose!
