wait a minute, i have a problem... if the linux industry quits, does that mean that microsoft.com won't resolve for a while? (just a thought.) anyway, on another note... i find linux much more pleasant and easier to use than microsoft windows nt. if you configure everything right the first time, you won't see any surprises. lovely how microsoft has the gall to say that such a powerful operating system is not worthy of use for the mass majority. if i'm not mistaken, this is just a small opinion i have. i say never let me be complete. give me a unix-like operating system any day. i like linux, bsd, and solaris. who needs to see commercials about an operating system? nobody understands them and they have a hard time figuring out why. a lot of people in my area of town have gotten lazy with computers. i have only seen them messing around with windows. they should be more outgoing and a bit less cocky on user friendliness. user friendliness has nothing to do with anything. it is just a marketing ploy to get people to buy their product. it is just some relative element in someone's psych that gives them a good reason for being incompetant about their work. if anyone hardly payed attention to the number of BSOD's or STOP messages that can appear, they'll know something is /wrong/. and i stress that metaphorically. microsoft suggests that maybe the linux community should disband? is this a joke, folks? i'm laughing. microsoft threw mud in our faces and what we did was truly noble and very warranted. we got back up and laughed at them, because we know how silly microsoft can be when they are intimidated by something "like us". just wait, just by our example more and more open source agencies will rise and make themselves known to the public. my personal opinions about windows nt/9x are very personal. i can't expect anyone, however, to not ignore them. just think about how far we have come. we're doing a damn good job getting linux on the desktop, and it can't get any easier for some random new user to easily set up X or get good shell experience. it can get better, yes; but we are already making linux a success for a lot of people. microsoft wants to make an operating system that requires no thought put into its operation whatsoever, am i not correct? i believe most of the great attributes of using a computer (e.g., clear thought) were better then than now. today we are facing some arrogant corporation's dictation, tomorrow we will see a penguin and a devil on a surfboard kicking a colorful flag's wavy ass. it is good to know that a satirical column like this makes a good laugh. we all needed one, right? just a few thoughts. and i am illiterate.
