"With [the Win95] release, Apple was tested - and they failed miserably. Not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if they didn't do just that. The MS platform has changed dramatically and it is much greater than just the operating system these days. Apple, on the other hand, hasn't advanced nearly as much but they are predominantly consumer-based today and less vulnerable to this comparative weakness as a result. Just like the last time, they will largely leverage hardware this time, and, as before, they will be up against companies with resources that eclipse their own."

what kind of vendor is that wants to put 7 OS versions of it's brand new. And Please are we living in a new era or what. Who will buy a stupid Vista which can run only 4 programs without even TCP/IP on it. Come on ppl and pro M$ fans who the f**k will pay for that crap 40usd ??? tell me ????
I have all i need with linux and BSD. And if the stupid hardware vendors are not pro M$ locked windows will be dead very very soon !!!
See Mac OS X, KDE, Gnome .... see all the Asians that are moving to Linux/Unix ... see all the Europe moving to Linux/Unix ..... well it smells like dead cow in here sorry :-)).
So why even post in here? You must be upset about some thing as if you never cared about windows, you wouldn't be reading this.
The real deal is that linux is dead for anything other than a fad. Linux is making Microsoft's Windows a much superior product in almost every way over linux. With the Desktop and Server and all the linux programs are going open source on windows as well so why the f*** do we need a fad OS?
Sure some countries are liberal and they don't want a US dominated company to put out an OS and those companies really want to control you themselves.
China OS, in which China controls and spies on you
with their own OS. It's perfect! You could never type an email again without china knowing what you are doing.
That's why this free as in speech is f**ked up when it comes to countries having their own OS.
The free as in beer is also a bunch of BS, as most people need to have huge training sessions before they can do just about anything interesting.
Linux is way overrated.

Do you even know what the word "fad" means? Do you know anything about the history of Linux? Something that has been around for over ten years and has only grown in that time does not qualify as a fad.

What does that have to do with operating systems? Oh yeah, nothing.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about and cleary do not understand what freedom in software means.
The free as in beer is also a bunch of BS, as most people need to have huge training sessions before they can do just about anything interesting.
That's funny because I was never forced to pay for Linux and I never took training courses for it either. Now I run Linux desktops and Linux servers. I even backup fubared Windows drives with Linux because half the time Windows won't even recognize the drive in another machine.
Linux is way overrated.
Says you and you've proven your opinion means squat.
