Story: Linux vendors hit back at Ballmer's email
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 14 January 2005, 9:39 PM)
In response to Anonymous and his remark that you can spend 50% of your time trying to figure out Linux:
God forbid that you would actually have learn something in order to be secure and productive. This argument is usually put forth by incompetant visual basic users who read a "Learn Visual Basic in 21 days" and decided to call themselves experts. Or worse yet, MCSE's who have no real understanding of basic Computer Science concepts.
The truth of the matter is: How much time do you spend rebooting, applying 50+ security patches, waiting for Windows just to start, installing Adaware detectors, spyware detectors, updating your virus signature, dealing with viruses, dealing with pop-ups, defraging your hard disk, RE-Installing, activating, and all the other fun things that come with windows.
