Interesting....I like seeing a distro target disgruntled Windows addicts
such as myself...:)
Oddly, I've been coming up with a list in the back of my head for
reasons to love MS....lol
1. All the security related jobs they create...
2. Their OSes keep the hackers and spammer busy....
3. All the anti-hacker and anti-spammer jobs they are responsibile for...
4. All the tech support jobs needed to resolve BSOD, etc....
5. ??? (I know there's more...you have to help me!...lol
I read an article a while back by ....(hmmm, Neal Stephenson is his
name?...or was it a PBS show?), anyway....in it he presented his
"theory" that MS actually writes "crap" on purpise for all those reasons
above....the build "need"' into their product.....and he noted the
paradox of MS having the money to hire the best programmers out there
contrasted with the product that "the best" produce! More like they're
trying to keep "the best" in their stable...under lock and key so to
speak...certainly can't accept them working somewhere else writing a
better product.....lol
PCLinuxOS eh....think I'll have a look....(great links btw, nice combo
really gets the point across!)
Thanks!
Chris
