Thought this was funny. It's funny that there is a free and functional OS under our noses and people still complain about Vista or Windows in general.
Not trying to be a fanboy here because I use em all. I know however, if forced to decide I have a free option.

I'm a huge fanboy. I use windows for recording but that's about it. Linux has taken my computing spirit and run wild with it. I've never had a mac but would probably love them.
If it was percentage based i'd say 80/20 and the 20 percent is only so big because I try to record as often as I can.

Wow...
Whats next?
A teacher belittleing a 5th grade student for having parents that voted for McCain..... :pity:jason8er and Coral Reefer like this. -
I would probably be with you there man if I didn't have to know Windows front to back for my job. Actually I was on my way there at one point. I had Linux installed on all 3 computers in my home. The only Windows install to be found was running on VMware which was running Linux.
To be truthful though, I like a change of pace. Sometimes I just get tried of the same environment and have to switch it up. Right now I am dual booting on my laptop. I thought I would just try out the new Ubuntu distro to see what the noise was all about. I can honestly say that 8.10 is easier for me to configure and install than Windows. Good stuff!! -
I'm with you on keeping windows my issue is taking away linux because someone doesn't have the knowledge that there is such a thing as free software.

There's no such thing as free software? Have I been paying Adobe this whole time for reading PDFs without realizing it?
I would like to suggest a course of action to correct this problem. This teacher should be compelled to write a 5,000 word paper on free software.n9necount likes this. -

Also, you can almost always find a Linux app that is an alternative to a Windows app.
Last but not least, XP is not free "legally".:up: -

You have GOT to be KIDDING me. I thought this was the typical "The Onion" type of article, but I guess not.

I'd thank you several more times if I could.
I hope someone has written in on this.
I've got to stop otherwise I'll definitely violate the TOS.
Computing Freedom is hard for me not to be passionate about.
