Another of the Nymshifter's attempts to be funny with bathroom humor. Yawn.

Are you always this picky? Are you so fucking desperate that you have to
resort to this?

I'd like a free operating system that does everything that Windows 7
does, and more. However, it turns out that it can't really do what Win 7
does can it?

Thanx for your input Alias

Nope, it can't run the viruses, trojans and other malware that Windows
is so good at. It doesn't do a lot of games yet but it could if the
gaming folks would port it.

And the Game companies won't port to Ubuntu because there are,
possibly, 12 million copies of the system. MS sold some 30 million
copies of windows 7 in April alone.

And it won't run a lot of "industry standard" programs like Word and
Photoshop, AutoCad and many others. So if your work uses any of these
applications or you interface with others using these applications you
will find Linux an inferior system.

A simple example:
It is common practice to exchange construction drawings between the
work site and the parent design office. In this way modifications
during construction can be made, and approved, and the corrected
drawings furnished to all parties. This practice is so common that
nearly all contracts will contain language specifying that the
contractor will utilize Auto Cad, or another, specified, drafting
application. If Linux were your only computer system you would be
unable to even bid on the work.

Another example:
I communicated, last year, with an Australian sailing magazine who's
editor specified that all submitted materials be in MS Word format.

I could go on, but why bother. Linux doesn't run windows programs. If
you want or need to use windows applications than do not select Linux
as your operating system.

As for alias' knowledge, - well, he thinks that the Windows Directory
is windows central operating application (the kernel). Even a newbee
can figure out that a Directory is not a kernel....

All those programs have comparable programs in Linux.

Open Office will do that.

Because you can't think of any more.

Not what I said but your usual M.O. is to shoot the messenger and lie
about the message and you did it again now.

Come get your ticket to CyberFROG city

Nay, Art thou decideth playeth ye simpleton games. *Some* of us know

Very few. I used to take calls from *rank* noobs but got fired the first
day on the job for potty mouth,

Hamster isn't a newsreader it's a mistake!

El-Gonzo Jackson FROGS both me and Chuckcar

Master Juba was a black man imitating a white man imitating a black man

Using my technical prowess and computer abilities to answer questions
beyond the realm of understandability
