Thumbs up Re: Kernel Comparison: Linux (2.6.20) versus Windows (Vista)

What the point of supporting every hardware out there 60% insted of supporting a standard which works unified among all Linux distro. Linux is no where close to Vista's kernel when it comes to ease of use. The openness of Linux kernel is the reason it has so many distributions with no interopratibility leading to confusion & unstability. Now I hope you won't say Linux doesn't crash.
absolutely right.. whenever i wanted to try a linux distro... something goes bad.. firstly there was no support for SATA, then when they gave support for it, then other compatiblity problems... and all..

well Linux is OSS.. this is the thing which makes a difference.. and comparing can never be a solution...

just a simple thing i cant understand, when anyone speaks about Windows then its ok, but when it is on linux then why i see flames ...
