Vista vs. Linux - Which is REALLY better?

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.

You are fucking retarded to assume that this came from someone using an OS just as shitty. I wouldn't post here if I weren't using the de facto only reasonable choice for all the intelligent and educated people who matter in this world, artists or hackers alike. Enjoy your big ghetto where the only two options are both wrong.

(I thought of posting this as is, but I think you are not intelligent enough to figure out from my post that I am using OS X, so I will mention it for the record).
