This is the root cause of this problem. as now microsoft is pulling the cord on Piracy (which they can, way beeeefooore) result of which these 95% or more people's Comp is goin to turn OFF (or for time being untill next solu. (cracks/hacks) arrive). thus obnoxiousness

Yes it would've been

CHEAP THINKING but after all WE ARE HUMANS
Its not something related to price dude! We have adobe photoshop and then GIMP, well which is better? Obviously photoshop is much better becoz of its features n all! So is neone criticising adobe?? People r not foolish if u think to criticise nething without judgement!! Neways nobody is saying Xp or VISTA or MS is crap. All migrators from window to linux or vice versa compare the OSs first, and comparison is the only thing that is brought everywhere!

Well thats good for MS and certainly bad for people who look for free installation of windows or cracked windows!! MOst people don't have the money to buy expensive software. Open source is the only thing then they can rely on! If MS protection increases, then I can bet that no. of windows users will certainly and tremendously drop !!

Its nothing to do with price of software.
Its more to do with standard compliance, monopolistic practices, bad business tactics.

There is a contradiction in ur statement!

Quote:
Fanboy or Fanboi is a term used to describe someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. The term originated in comic book circles, to describe someone who was socially insecure and used comics as a shield from interaction, hence the disparaging connotations. Fanboys are often experts on minor details regarding their hobbies, and they take these details extremely seriously. ...
http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en...ition&ct=title
Quote:
The stereotypical image of the fanboy is as an unkempt, socially awkward, young man who may be perceived as a loud mouthed pseudo-intellectual
Source : Wiki

So u see no one here's a fanboy! No one is loud-mouthed, or feels insecure or tries to justify without proper reasoning and linux is not something of minor details! We feel the freedom in Linux world and only post its facts when compared to others OSs and nobody tries to put false facts or improper reasonings!

Regardng all that, the guy in this thread who is being discussed i.e Jorge Lopez, is called a fanboy!

Neways dude, I fear whereva the terms windows n linux will coexist this debate will always resurface itself!

@Mehul, I read few of those links given and they have their own share of sarcasm!!
Some of them are false exaggerated stories as well!!.
Let me make things clear. There is nothing wrong with proprietary software. M$ has
a very arrogant & monopolistic business tactics (like @GNUrag said). Now that's
what many people in the Linux world & even the Windows users don't like!!

All those people who are having pity at the writer's foolishness, For god's sake, all these articles are pieces of sarcastic humour .
BTW MEDIATOR i really laughed out real hard at seeing ur reply , no offences but are you so blindly in love with Bill Gates that u can't actually understand the humour in these articles


[QUOTE=mediator]ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Yea like others servers didn't had that capability. He's so excited that windows adv. server finally lets the desperately longing fanboys do that.

I don't understand why so much fuss about Linux,
and that too by ppl, who i think never used linux,
As even in today scenario around all SAP main Servers are Linux based Oracle Server,
Around 60% of overall servers are Linux Based.
(And this number is constantly Increasing why?)

There was one thing which was a problem before(Gaming)
But now it's much better,


I don't understand why they don't want to come out of there 1feet roof.
