I think there IDE software is a 100x times above any thing open source can produce(Eclipse is a fucking joke).
Know what else is a fucking joke? The fact that you don't seem to know the difference between the words "there" (the word you used,) and "their" (the word you MEANT to use).
The irony of shilling for Misrosoft for crack money is that if you didn't use crack, you wouldn't need to blow Seve Balmer for cash... as I'm sure you're aware, it's a viscous circle... get help.
No, the real irony is your tirade including how it's a joke that the poster you replied to (who is apparently the devil for having a differing opinion from yours- seriously, get a grip) doesn't seem to know the difference between "there" and "their" when you don't seem to know the difference between "viscous" (the word you used) and "vicious" (the word you MEANT to use).
The differance between linux and MS is price.
Spell Check is your friend. The DIFFERENCE is more than just price. Linux was built from the ground up as a freeware reimplementation of Unix, a multitasking, multiuser, security-enabled professional-grade operating system. Its strength and robustness are derived from people being able to review the code, and it's popularity owes much to the fact that its users know that they will NEVER find themselves in a position LIKE THE ONE THE UK FINDS ITSELF IN RIGHT NOW of having to pay ransom-money to continue using something THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY FUCKING PAID FOR. If Linus Torvalds retired, and said, "I'm not developing Linux anymore, I'm DONE!" enthusiasts would FORK it, and DRIVE THE FUCK ON. The life of FL/OSS software is dependent only on having enough competent, dedicated people willing to devote time and effort to creating and maintaining world-class software. CLOSED-SOURCE, "Security" (hah-hah-hah) through obscurity-based software like the garbage Misrosoft pedals and has the temerity to label "software" only lasts as long as it is in the best interests of the bottom line of the corporation that owns it.
And... well, Spell Check is your friend. You managed to misspell Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, "multi-user" (yes, it's hyphenated).
To be honest, the most harmful thing to the FL/OSS cause are... well, its advocates. Instead of extolling the benefits of Linux (of which there are indeed many), they spend the majority of their time decrying Windows as the hell-spawn of Satan (as you have done through your entire monologue). While I realise you were responding to a rather vitriolic rant yourself, replying with even more vitriol does not do yourself or your cause any good. So do yourself (and your cause) a favour. Calm down, and respond thoughtfully and respectfully.
