"I do not consider Windows ready for the desktop. I found it difficult to use, buggy and lacking in security. I also found technical support lacking. While Windows captured a significant portion of the desktop market, the product is clearly not a good fit for consumers who do not understand the risks associated with logging on to the Internet. The costs of providing aftermarket products can run higher than the price paid for the hardware."

Windows not ready for desktop?
Windows not ready for desktop?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
This is just another pointless,annoying,ever on-going propaganda by linux fans.
You like your OS?Then shup up and use it and be happy.
Not everybody likes your crappy linux.At least as far as desktop usage is concerned.In that field linux IS THE WORST POSSiBLE thing u can use!!!
Have tried mandrake,suse 9.3,ubuntu,debian,linspire,knoppix... as desktop user.
This honestly has started to be very annoying.I mean linux fans trying to convince u of something.Why do you care???
Go back to your hole as some already said and be happy.
I mean for gods shake!!Everywhere i turn i see someone trying to convince me flaming windows and most important FLAMING ME AS IGNORANT OR STUPID.
Fook off man.
Notice what i said.Trying to convince me BY FLAMING.Thats stupid.Tyring to convince me with facts i should consider is another thing.The right way to go.
The things u tell me to convince me of switching to linux ARE NOT WORKING!!
And i mean for desktop usage.
-The price? Who gives a heck.I paid and got WHAT i WANTED.I whould pay again.
-The free software? Are you kidding me? They the worst programms i have ever used!!Commersial like it or not ARE better for obvious reasons.Not all free software are crap.There are excellent free programs but few.And all that crap u fill your distros with TO COVER YOUR EVERY NEED are absolute CRAP.
-The stability? My win cant be more satble cause i make it so!!And dont tell me linux is the absolute solution to stability cause i will laugh.Enormous amount of problems are in linux.
-The performance? Oh common!!KDE (since its the only viable solurion u can consider when going for desktop usage) sucks in performance.It is SLOOOOOOWWWWW.
-And a billion other things.
My will to experiment is as good as anybodys.I really want to use ,alongside my windows, a macOS ,solaris ,linux and so on.
Plz GO BACK TO YOUR HOLE and WHEN linux is REALLY ready for desktop usage I WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO SCREAM FOR IT!!
