[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

Quoting Tom

> I just liked Amir's original play on words that a non-techie can
understand.

So did I !!!

I just corrected all those terms because all this was a mess. It was my
first post on this subject. I posted one about Windows 7 and then I saw
all that that seemed like war to me.

Quoting Arenlor:

> "I us a genuine web browser to surf the genuine Internet."
So you use Firefox for IRC, AIM, MSN, XMPP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, etc.? No, you surf the World Wide Web, not the web. If you want to get smart about words, use the correct words. Maybe just point out that Microsoft claims to have an "Internet" Explorer, while Firefox claims simply to browse the web.

Quoting Amir:

> I know the difference between the Internet and the Web; most of the
people to whom i speak about it do not.

What I did was just adding techie knowledge to this conversation since it was already in this terms.
Just for everyone to understand the meaning of the Internet/Web and the WWW.
Tom, you said "Lets lighten up and make this a place people enjoy being for fun :)" and you're absolutely right. In the beginning of my first post about the web I said "...calm down guys. We're not at war."

This is an open space for knowledge and ideas to be shared.
The goal is to correct a bug and that bug is that Microsoft has a majority market share.
The issue is that in here (launchpad) we don´t see the admins and the moderators like in the common forums always criticizing, moving posts and deleting others.
In here we "almost" live in Anarchy. We must rule ourselves.

Kahn and Cerf created the TCP/IP Protocol when ARPANET already existed (and that's where the name Internet ever appeared for the first time). The cyber space was created but we needed to use payed, closed source software to used it.
Then, Richard Stallman created GNU to set us free in the terms of the OS. Congrats of course also to Linus Torvalds who created the Kernel.
A final step was needed... this one where we are... Launchpad. Mark Shuttleworth created this Open space for everyone to express their ideas (I'm referring of course in this bug #1 forum in particular because this Launchpad never ends) only with the Open Source philosophy... let's share!

I believe that everyone that posts here have the same goal and that is to correct this bug.
If you do not please write anywhere else. I said "almost" Anarchy because it's clear that everything has it's place here.

In order to correct this bug we do not need to attack MS and create
"Easter Documents". We must join our forces to share good ideas in order
to make people to try Ubuntu and if possible stick only to it.

I made this happen quite a few times.
First a Live CD. Then a dual boot. Then Ubuntu only.
It works.
Just take one step at a time.
