Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

RE: Windows works
by Anton Klotz on Tue 9th Nov 2004 22:37 UTC

Hello,

maybe I'm just stupid, but did you ever did that in WinXP:

1. Try to copy one harddrive to another one and make that one bootable
2. If you have a Wi-Fi network and want to share one directory with passwort protection, is there an easy way of doing it?
3. The first time I've started Outlook on my companies computer, it crashed, WinXP crashed as well, now everytime I want to start Outlook it complains something about missing mail account and refuses to start.
4. USB stick which works perfectly with Win2000 and Mac refuses to work with WinXP

The consequences are that the only thing I do with my WinXP computer is to print out Microsoft Office documents and browse some IntraNet applications, which do not work with Mozilla. I love my MacOSX box at home and my Sun box at work.

Just my 0.02 pence,

Anton
