hrmm some kind i agree, the best thing would be cheap fast computers and standardized systems, the thing which makes me some kind of sick about linux is that confusion about the distros. and everybody thinks their distro is the best...
why not one distro with all functions

Actually I think their marketing sucks ass but their strategy and relationships with other computer companies to include and use their products is good.

Personally I don't want to see Microsoft dissappear, as long as their around, it creates competition which is a good thing.

I'd actually like to see Microsoft release Linux apps. Dev Studio and M$ Office for Linux would rock. There is room for both proprietary commercial and OSS in Linux.

Oh, by the way, I've reported this post to be either merged or closed since we have plenty of threads bashing Microsoft, etc. We really don't need a thread to ask for members votes to do away with Microsoft.

Thanks.

We already have enough number of Microsoft-related threads. If you want to express your opinions, use one of them. Thanks.

This one is closed.
