Story: Windows 98 lifeline 'prompted by Linux threat'
Posted by: DanConine (Monday 19 January 2004, 3:04 PM)
Having 100's of applications:
Everyone who has kids knows this: and every CD/ed software program or game has to 'install' instead of just running under the OS. (try an Amiga once) After a few weeks, any 'clean' Microsloth install bogs down and the 'Windows Exploder' starts to chug. Then everything else starts to chug.
I have also worked in R&D testing, and instrumentation and control breeds new applications faster than rabbits can multiply.
I'm not thrilled with Lindows or Mandrake right now, waiting for Suse to arrive, but I'll keep trying until I find one that installs as advertised, and when I do, I will put up a sign and start selling systems, because the world needs it. I encourage anyone else to do the same.
Buy less, Buy local, Buy Linux. Even if it doesn't work yet, it will improve sooner than Windows will get fixed.
