GNU, GPL, Open Source "The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

MS trolls and Linux Trolls
by Al Pettit on Fri 20th Dec 2002 15:43 UTC

"What I get tired of hearing is the M$ trolls that havent even used Linux recently or long enough to learn it, sit and bash linux."

What I am tired of is linux people making up excuses for their OS's limitations and bashing everyone else.
Yes. Linux is not the perfect free OS that Linux people would have you believe. It's cool and all, but a lot of people will not use it for different reasons. Tell that yo a linux person and you are branded a stupid, mind numb person who gave your soul to MS.

all oses have their problems.
Yea MS sucks in many ways
Yea Linux sucks in many ways
Yea OSX sucks in many ways
Yea BeOS sucks in many ways

Yet I find the linux/MS people to have the biggest mouths and the first to slam everyone else for using another OS.

MS people say Linux people are to cheap, Linux people say everyone is stupid. OSX people defend themselves from both. BeOS people... Well I don't see to much from them lately

Anyway, There is alot of BS from MS/Linux people, but MS people have one a few things going for them.
#1) MS has a lot of $$$ and uses it
#2) There are a lot more MS people
