Another "Windows Killer" I bet you it's simple, but it's not simple enough untill they have a clippy to bug you, frequent crashes, and a higher expense than what it's actually worth. I've read numerous articles with bill gates talking about how microsoft only releases "quality" and that's why they are on top, but i think that it's the idiotic nature of the average person in this world that believes if it costs more it is naturally better. Not only to top that off, I love open source to death, but, look at the foothold that microsoft has in the economy. You think that overnight one of these Linux flavors will kill the giant and then work well? Look at all the software out there, do you go to a electronics store and see aisles and aisles of software for the unix based OS? No -- You'll see nothing but endless rows of software for windows. So here we have the new operating system, and all these people who left windows for unix..., like some say in these posts, they wont be able to survive, they arent used to a terminal, they are used to saving everything on their desktop and clicking the *.exe and they are done, they wouldnt be able to grasp unpacking the file etc. All these people have been brought up on double clicking and wizards. If it ever happened, it would have to include rotting of microsoft, it slowly fading away, which the dividing of the company may help, but then again i doubt that would help either. yet some of you will respond to what i say as "they can get get a binary of what you need on the internet!" But, that too, i doubt would be able for them to accomplish, because then, they have to learn how to compile / etc, and by then, they're lost in commands and readmes. Currently, with the market, dont expect microsoft dying soon. If anything, expect opensource to die first, because of all these politicians meddling with topics they don't understand, and will outlaw opensource deeming it dangerous due to anyones ability to modify it to exploit a computer. But since microsoft is a pro closesourced company, legislature wont even touch it. Self explanatory reasons, i think. But in the end, microsoft will turn into a giant bloated spyware passed off as a Operating System, and at the rate of Williams nosyness, OpenSource may have a fighting chance after all. I mean, all pedophiles use Unix, right?
