[ubuntu-za] OT: Win 7 sins

[Brenton Edgar Scott]

I'm with Gary, I found the website informative. I presented facts and evidence to back it up. This is a long way off from the traditional "Windows Bashing" by linux zealots.

I'm over my zealot stage. I feel Linux is better in many ways, but hate it or love it, Windows HAS it's place. If you want to play the latest games or use the latest hardware (and a handful of applications like autocad), then Windows 7 is the thing to use. Most of us must use it at work and I think most of our bosses will have something to say about putting on Linux on our work PC. I also think most Linux Zealots kind of lost the plot. To me a Windows Basher sounds way too much like a Linux Basher - both speaking from ignorance and neither of them being experienced enough with the systems their bashing to have an unbiased opinion. I've used both to the limit and I can honestly say I like Linux. I can also say that I think Windows 7 is pretty cool too. Depending on what I need, I might use either of them to get the job done. In the end that's all that's really important, isn't it? 

That said, those that wish to have some humour about this, try this nice little link I found (warning - sense of humour required): http://humorix.org/articles/1999/11/user-evolution/
