RE:Linux is a waste of time? (Score 1)

In general I find this article how few good
points. The author is $Microsoft mushhead.

I'll point out some remarks.
[1]Bill Gates isn't a monster.
Not only that, but we're all very, very lucky
to have Microsoft in our lives.

NOT. He wants to be sole propietor for OS's
on PC's. Tell it to the judge.

$MS is only good 5 things
1. Fonts- easier to install than Linux
2. Games.
3. HotMetal Pro by SoftQuad
4. Neo Planet
5. IDE's for C/C++/JAVA compilers

[2]Linux, they note, is 2.5 million lines (at
most) of highly flexible, free-to-use and free-
to-modify software that almost never crashes
and that works any way a programmer cares to
make it work.

Best of all, the open source code that makes
up Linux is free of charge compared with the
$89 one pays for Windows 98 and the upwards
of $300 that a box of office strength
Windows 2000 can cost.

So Linux is free, crash proof, flexible,
lean and the product of a willful young man
every bit as technologically adroit and set
in his ways as Gates ever was.

What more can I state? This is exactly why Linux
is better than $MS. If you need an office suite
use Applixware. You can install tons of fonts
with no problems. StarOffice is slick, but
font installation is a pain in the butt.

Both these products are equal to $MS Orfice.--
oops -I mean Office :-p

$MS's only good OS is NT server. It is Unix-like.
My friend told me to try it and he is a die-hard
Unix man. He hates $MS. He told me if it wasn't
for NT $MS would not be on his ISP.

Here is another reason Linux hauls ass .
1.http://www.student.brynmawr.edu/~ahackman/linu x/ Linux_vs_NT.html

Stuff to make Linux more accessable to the
nermal person(spelling mistake intentional)
1. Windoze games ports
2. Universal font installation. Like windows
font installer in NT or even Win31 !
3. Better Html tools. Nice if Hotmetal PRo
by Softquad had a port.
4. Better development tools. Nice GUI ide's
for C/C++ developers.
5. Winamp
6. A browser that supports skins. Change
the look of Netscape.
7. G2-Realplayer.

I can think of other things, but this is a start.
I guess I made my point.
