Hahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahaah, gasp ... spit, cough, ... choke,
spit!

Ahh I needed that.

Thanks for the laugh, because I haven't heard such a load of utter
nonsense, since Ballmer threatened to 'kill' Google.


Window is pribably better than the Black Death, tho I'd have to carefully
weigh up all the pros and cons before I could be certain.

No, you won't get flamed (by me, at any rate) for that reason. You *do*
deserve a flaming, however, for posting this on u.c.o.l. For very
similar reasons to those you give, I have everything cross-posted to
*.advocacy killfiled, and am thus spared from such trash.

Until, of course someone, i.e. yourself, takes it upon themselves to
respond to those messages they profess to abhor, and in addition trims
the cross-posting. Why couldn't you just ignore it, and save the pain.

Your saving grace is that you didn't quote the whole message, but
nonetheless, you're almost as bad as the OP, and his fans, in
propagating any of it. Please don't!

Actually it's Windows XP that *dominates* the landscape, little Vista7
troll.

You're not even a good troll, you should hang your head in shame.

Take note:-
The world understood the Amiga
The world understood the Atari
The world understood the Comodore Pet
The world understood the Osbourne 1
The world understood the EeePC running Xandros and tens of millions were
sold .

Where are they all now ?
Hint: it's hard to understand what you can't see or know about.

I'm just blaming you for your lacklustre and childish Linux troll attempt
right now.

They are for users that do what I do.

But your claim was that *all* devices are automatically installed and
work under Ubuntu. You obviously forgot to add "as long as they are on
the very limited HCL."

They *were* cutting edge when bought, but have *never* been fully
supported. But, I say again, you claimed that *all* hardware was plug
and play under Linux.

Windows Mobile is neither cutting edge nor rare, nor is are Nokia
cellphones.

Thank you for confirming the accuracy of my argument.

"The server upon which this website is residing is a 5-watt Fit-PC
Server running Windows XP, XAMPP and Joomla."

Oops.

I notice that you agree with me about support for laptops being buggy
and patchy too, even where Linux is installed by the makers.

Thank you again for your help in promoting Windows.
