Vista vs. Linux - Which is REALLY better?

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-19 2:48 ID:+QJbpQUL

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same.

It's only surpassed in functionality by Emacs.

Linux is just code stolen from Microsoft

okay seeing as almost everyone else has gone off topic, when running a Linux Distro, which is better to use: GNOME or KDE?

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

LOL OS/2. Do you know why that failed? Because IBM hired Microsoft to develop it for them. And Microsoft can't have any competition.

It failed because it was fully compatible with DOS and Windows, so nobody bothered to develop specifically for OS/2.

vista plays more games than linux
otoh, with the price of vista you can buy a console and some games

My ass it does. All the games lost due to compatibility issues makes Linux with all its open-source games and Wine play a lot more.

However, Vista plays all the new games...

You know, the only reason I bought vista was because I thought "hmm, I want to play games.  XP would fulfill all my needs in that area, but I also want it to look good.  hmm, xp looks like shit to vista, linux looks even better, but dosn't play the games I want to play." hence, vista.  and, provided you get the 32 bit version, everything works fine.  its the 64 bit version that sucks
