OK first off setting gaming aside is a huge thing at least to me.
1- What is the big deal about a restart only takes my system a few seconds. Never did understand why people make a big deal out of that
2- In the years I have had it installed I can only think of one time XP has locked up to the point I needed to reboot it. That was because of a bad driver install.
3- | Quote: | | I can throw a wrench in the whole thing with this simple question |
Dude you got three statements there not one simple question. Great so you can do some simple file sorting better, personally dont think I have much need for that and to this point have been able to sort and organize my files just fine in Windows.
3b-Back to the "Free" thing I'll give ya that probably the best thing I can think of about Linux. Thing that keeps sticking in my head is the saying "You get what you pay for" not sure if it applies to this as I have not really tried Linux yet
3c- I keep asking you Linux zealots what this is and get no REAL answers. However again not knowing for sure but this compiling programs and stuff sounds harder than installing a program in windows.
4- If the Linux kernel is so good why are new ones coming out every week? Sounds like a real pain in the arse to keep up with to me. Lately MS has been releasing it's patches before the bad guys have got there hacks/virus/exploits out in the wild. Plus how can updating the OS be any easier than Windows Update.
5- I am not a zealot of any OS. I have and use Windows and have no problems with it. Mostly because it is what I learned on and with the evolution of WinXP I see no need to go elsewhere. I'll probably get around to trying Linux one of these days and really have nothing against it. I really wish it would become more mainstream to give MS more competition and maybe lower the price of their OS. In the end for me Win XP does all I want it to do and much more. Can you say that about Linux? Including game play. I'll bet you still have a Windows machine running dont ya? |
