I don't really see the problem here because market forces will open an opportunity for a hardware manufacturer to specialize in creating solutions for operating systems other than Windows..
I agree..Companies like Zareason and Systen76 will see that this happens.
Here's the workflow they should have done:
1) Start with Metro-driven login screen.
2) Show the user a panorama of Metro for a minute and ask "do you want this or the traditional windows experience on start up?"
Yup..Ubuntu should have done the same thing,but noooooo.
I love Ubuntu but hate this Unity nonsense, I am now using Xubuntu and could not be happier. Diversity is good!
Same here...I'd hate the new Windows gui as well... Looking at Xubuntu or Mint for my next os.
But the point of a decent UI is that someone shouldn't have to post to
I agree...And all those shortcuts...I'm a point and clicker and I hate shortcuts.
I don't understand why this isn't modded up.
I prefer Xfce to LXDE, but basically 'installing a lightweight DE' (or a WM? Even better!) is what you should do.
Wish I had not used up my mod points as I'd do it..Anyway, I'm looking very fondly at Xfce myself. On mt 2and Linux box I will be trying Unity,since Ubuntu is what's installed,but my crystal ball says:"You will be getting Xfce."
. But this experience was horrible - 2 crashes within the first 15 minutes, definite slowness, and I'm pretty sure my gf will soon be asking to switch to a different interface, she's really uncomfortable with Unity so far.
Going to have the latest Ubuntu on my new box...Your post really worried me...I am going to give it a try,but I suspect XFCE will be on that box soon enough.
Can a right-handed male and female produce a left-handed child?
Yes,my sib and I both had right handed parents and both are lefties.
I am disappointed they didn't opt for Platypus. Way more interesting than an anteater..
Same here.
Can a pangolin lay eggs? I think not. Can a pangolin inject venom through its ankle? I don't think so. Does a pangolin have 6 poorly-understood sex chromosomes? No to that as well. Pangolin. Puh-leeze..
So true..The platypus is off the charts when it comes to pure coolness.
That's easy to solve. Just put a checkpoint in every American's house.
Shhhh,don't give hem ideas!
Cash they can seize (the booty funds "overhead," leaving more money from taxpayers to spend on boondoggle body scanner devices) is the name of the game. Some police agencies get vast swath of their funding from such seizure activities.
We have an x cop as a next door neighbor and he basically said the same thing..He indicated the whole "war on drugs" was a huge money making racket and all sides are in on it.
After 9/11, we're all terrorists now.
Actually the TSA are the terrorists.
I'm willing to bet this guy's next computer will still have an Apple logo on it too.
Actually,nope: http://www.seattlerex.com/linux-apple-and-the-lurid-allure-of-consumerism/
