Smart people use Windows for gaming and to make money off of hapless
Windows users by cleaning up their malware infested machines. When the
gaming houses wise up and port to Linux, buh bye Windows for gaming. As
long as MS has a monopoly on Windows, there's a lot of money to be made
fixing their crappy OS.

Clearer now, Bucko?

Yet you have said on many occasions that to get "real work" done, one

That is the usual perception.
Linux first started out a long time ago due to the restrictions on UNIX
and its high costs of licensing and hardware requirements. It was a
good way to learn Unix without the stiff costs.
As for IBM, the corporates buy IBM for large scale data operations, and
using Linux on a mainframe, you can spawn up to 64,000 individual linux
desktop logins. It just makes it easier for those that want it.
And if you go to Intels own website, you get three different os
supported compilers: Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
For example: Home Depot and Loewes use Linux custom written database
inquiries and sales orders for the customers. It is designed to be
uniform for their operations and is stable. Plus these businesses do
not have to pay per seat for MS server operations per year, which to
these businesses is a big savings. Not saying that MS server is better
or worse, it is just business. All depends on what you want to do and
how much it is going to cost you. HealthCare systems used to be UNIX
based but the vast majority of them migrated their code to Windows based
solutions as it was easy to do plus the fact that these businesses could
easily afford it and is not the same as the needs of HomeDepot or Loewes.
The X-windows implementation was originally developed by MIT.
TOY? I don't think so. The X window system is network oriented, and
you can do some rather interesting things with it in a networked
environment. Sun microsystems, HP, SGI, DEC (now HP), IBM, etc use the
X window environment in science. NASA uses Linux in many of their
research projects as well as the infamous IPCC in England. People just
aren't aware of it.

Re: why linux is a POS toy os...

Go to your neighbour next door and ask if he has changed his browser string.
In all likelihood he hasn't even heard of such a thing. Most people haven't.
Sure some linux users have had to learn to change it out of necessity
because out-of-the-box it seems they can't even get the browsers for linux
to be compatible with websites without hacks, but anyway, if you want to
believe people are en masse changing their browser strings go ahead; it's
your delusion not mine.

Re: why linux is a POS toy os...

Twenty years of intense advocacy and they still have a less than one percent
install rate. I call it "flat-lining" because, well, it might as well be
dead.

Windows 7 (the rough equivalent of a single one point distro) has already
sold 90,000,000 copies. Ninety million in just a few months. And it's not
free.

Look, even when backed by big business e.g. Walmart (or IBM) it flops. No
one wants it on the desktop.

Look, they can price it at zero and give it away free online and still, to
all intents and purposes, it flops.

Sure a few people here and there install it, but they usually go right back
to Windows. So you have this small "install base" if you can use that term
with such low numbers, but that's it. It's as dead on the desktop as OS2
Warp.

Say it with me:

No one wants it.

It's a complete failure on the desktop. Even the sh*tty OSX out does it.

The point is you haven't a clue as to who or what strata of society is
using it. I have installed it for grandmothers, teenagers, business
persons, hippies and right wing Republicans. There is no In Crowd for
*any* OS, even Apple.

Re: why linux is a POS toy os...

I find it truly amazing that throughout this entire posting that Numbnuts
(that would be you Alias!) did not come up with one (1) valid point to prove
that Linux in any shape or form is anything more than a toy. He says that
windows is for Dummies yet he uses it. He states pretty much that Linux is
far superior yet has NO proof to back it up. He rants about all these
companies that use it but since I doubt he has personally seen it running at
all these places then it is simply a case of believing the written word.
Once again he provides NO proof! He says Starbucks is not doing well there,
Does that mean he has seen Starbucks revenue receipts for all of there
locations there! I doubt it and once again he is probably believing the
written word or someone's opinion of it. Hey Numbnuts!! when you personally
have concrete proof that linux is better in EVERY way feel free to post back
and rant and rave. Then and only then might anyone with any intelligence
believe anything you say until then shut the fuck up!!

Right now you are probably trying hard to come up with a intelligent
response to this. while you are doing that ponder this!! If Linux was indeed
number one in the world it would be attacked successfully on a regular
basis. If windows only had a following of supposedly a few million or so it
would not be attacked at all. Makes sense doesn't it! Geez if you had a
choice of 2 vehicles to steal a brand new ferrari or a chevrolet which one
are you going after?

There was a time not too long ago that people didn't drive cars;
blacksmiths were seen all over the place and people wondered when the
hell New York City would stop smelling like horse shit. This was true
for hundreds of years. Horses were the market leaders in transportation
and no one even dreamed of cars. When the horseless carriage made its
debut, it was scorned, feared, sneered at and practically NO ONE owned one.

But time's past and now we see that the car has taken over most of the
transport business and the horse and carriage only exists in Hamish
communities.

As Dylan put it, "The Times, they are a-changing".

Oh dear, a clueless windroid who doesn't understand the architectural
