Story: How to talk to Microsoft about Linux
Posted by: Kiko (Wednesday 16 June 2004, 4:15 PM)
After reading these messages, you see M$ shills spitting the same old FUD:
XP stable - sure, use Notepad and it won't crash. The guy who posted that said he had to reboot 10 times mostly due to software drivers. Newsflash: you shoudn't need to reboot to intstall drivers, period.
The rest is the usual stuff about "nice GUI interface", "use what works", yada, yada. GUI looks are a matter of opinion, so I won't go there; but the "Windows works and I have support" is just plain silly. If something does a better job for less, you should switch. M$ support is a joke, time after time the Linux community proves its support is way better than M$. Oh, and please read M$'s EULA before using the argument of having someone to sue, you will be surprised. If you think Linux is hard, it because:
1. You are used to 'Doze. Just as speaking anew language, the process can be hard but the rewards are much greater.
2. Maybe IT just isn't your field, deal with it and get some help. LUGs are a great source.
Linux and Open Source is the future, you M$ shills will be dinasours unless you learn more practical skills.
