Microsoft have cracked down on retailers trying to sell alternate OS's when they sign a contract to sell Windoze. (This theoretically effecting people selling Amithlon pre-installed, or the likes). Essentially saying... :
(from slashdot.org) "Some Sys Admin sent in an email that he got from Dell which basically says Microsoft will no longer allow Dell to sell PCs without an operating system. " - But if you think this was only Dell, the wording seems to effect all retailers, read article for more information: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/10/1420208.

>Sure, there's a lot Linux can do that Windows can't, but then belive it or not (and i'm sure >many Linux fanatics will foam at the mouth upon reading this) there's a lot Windows has to >offer that Linux doesn't even touch upon - such as user friendliness, and driver support.
Well may be the Linux users and Windows users have different interests and may be this small issue is not big deal for the average Linux user.
Way do I use Linux, well basically I like the idea that once share program you make with otters and they share with you, I like the that get free development programs i like the that I have more the one terminal to write in, I like scripting I like every thing Linux stands fore,
You know I do not need pirate software, as the software is free on Linux.
Or the otter option is run windows spend allot of money on software you don’t like or don’t know how is.
Comment to #17,
<Drivers comes with the OS part>
Kernel that comes with the OS do not come with latest drivers,
Try type demsg and really read the kernel text, you find quickly out that you’re
VIA chips set don’t properly use UDAM 66/100.
One otter issue is that drivers that are provided in the kernel or with Xfree86 is not always the vendor drivers, and they may perform poorly.
Once you have the drivers there is no problem, there is no need updating drivers every day is there, if the system is stable. |
