[ QUOTE ] As far as Linux goes, I like it for my server in the basement. But as a desktop? No thanks. I don't want to have to work on my machines at home much, I'd rather just use it and get things done. With Linux, I have to worry about too many things. Should I use KDE or Gnome? Do I have the right libc library to run… -
Re: Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
Add to the list of reasons why Linux is far too much work to switch to, the fact that there are aproximately 800 billion different versions all of which aparently have ever so slightly different features. Its like every coder whos ever worked on the thing has built his own personal version. Its all rather confusing and on… -

@KDR Yeah right, but just because they say, please suck me dry, I am enjoying it, doesn't mean it is still some sort of parasitism @Rhinokey: Smart thinking, but I never reboot to play games since the ones I like to play run perfectly fine on Linux. It is just an option to do it, pretty much like getting to your console… -

[ QUOTE ] Photoshop runs fine with Wine or crossover-office as far as I know, and there is a Linux port in work (I think, but don't quote me on that). So there isn't really a reason not to switch, exspecially as you can dual boot into windows if you want to play games that don't run natively or with wine/cedega. [/ QUOTE ]… -

Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx let the cliche MS bashing begin, meanwhile some of us are looking forward to a new OS (i mean, come on, if Apple guys get to install a new one every couple of months, why should we have to wait a few years?). -
Re: Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
Maya is running natively on Linux, there is no need to use wine. And there are plenty of games that do too, so that you don't have to reboot into windows, which is what I was saying. P.S.: I do not hate MS, what I hate are quasi monopolys which are bad for the users, the economy and basicly bad for everything. Besides the… -
Re: Microsoft's Longhorn OS, now 'Vista', announced
To be honest, I am not a bit fan of Apple either, but not mainly because of their form of user lock-in (which is, should they ever become as big as MS not a single bit better than MS strategy). My main concern with Apple is that they a basicly parasites to the Open-source community (OSX is based on FreeBSD, and the Safari… -

[ QUOTE ] Things like you don't have to install programms a proper places, but they just run everywhere, and stuff like the plans to more or less stop using a file browser, and replace it with a fast search system, and the list goes on and on like that.
