It's not the goal of GNU/Linux users or developers to "usurp" Apple or Microsoft. AFAICT from the drivel you post, you either think that is the goal or should be the goal. Your misconceptions (probably deliberate) allow you to dismiss a good desktop systems without knowing anything about them. That's very handy for a Microsoft fanboy like you, but it makes all of your posts about operating systems worthless.

When did the Internet take off bumhole? Linus first post was 1991. HTML 1.0 formally published 1993. Windows 3.11 1993. Did that have a browser. I don't remember one. BBS maybe. If you are going to play the elder statesman, at least check your facts. Cretinous. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you.
