true, but in windows the command line isn't really any more powerful or useful in most cases. I could understand why Linux would be considered powerful because you have direct access to the source and its more so designed for command line use. It's really a dated argument because you can accomplish the same tasks in either environment in this day and age.

This is what you get for trolling here instead of taking it to PCWorld or anything that is NOT a Linux forum. If you want to troll about WinBloze, do not use LQ or anything dedicated to helping Linux users.

I can't imagine using anything else for a land line, at least at home, and really for business either for that matter. The cost savings with VOIP make a traditional land line ridiculous for anything other than faxing, but traditional faxing is really something that can be done away with as well.
ADSL broadband requires a landline anyway. Not everywhere gets cable broadband, and cable broadband also tends to offer very competitive phone+internet prices.
Personally, I like so many people use a mobile as my primary phone.
You need to download and install this to every PC.

If you want ULTIMATE Multi-rename tool (among other stuff), then try Ghisler's "Total Commander". Next to (and before/above) Kaspersky Internet Security, the only Application for Windows worth paying for. There are several dozens of plugins, from Linux ext3 access to Registry and Services modules, all archive and ISO, rpm, msi (un)packers,....
Since you have not mention it, I guess you are not the Power User in Windows either.
So what? What would we do with our entertainment if he wasn't TRYING to irritate us? I am kinda enjoying his lack of knowledge.
So am I, that deliberately blithering idiot. I enjoy the humor he has spread onto these forums by hating Linux. ROTFLMAO, I really have fun ridiculing his deliberate stupidity. Keep it up, Matt!

I avoid DSL like the plague. And I'm not a fan of the phone companies. I would dump Vonage if it weren't for my wife as I have unlimited TTW with my phone.

Really. Well Microsoft is even disagreeing with you here mattvdh. They have for the last few years been trying to remove as much gui reliance as possible from there enterprise systems.
Microsoft server CORE from wikipedia
Windows Server 2008 includes a variation of installation called Server Core. Server Core is a significantly scaled-back installation where no Windows Explorer shell is installed. All configuration and maintenance is done entirely through command line interface windows, or by connecting to the machine remotely using Microsoft Management Console. However, Notepad and some control panel applets, such as Regional Settings, are available
You sir have been how we say pwned in the tech world.
Please know more about a subject before you attempt to use limited knowledge to defend it. Windows has seen the light so to speak, that everything gui is not such a good idea and there developers have been trying to untangle the code mess that is windows these days to remove gui reliance. They are in essence trying to make it more Linux like since there business customers keep asking for a scaled down version of windows without all the gui flair.
He's probably frolicking in the woods with Bill Gate$ and $teve Baldmer ( I prefer Baldmer i.e bald head to Ballmer) around a pile of window$ dvds singing kumbaya my lord.
