Weblog:   A Windows Die-Hard Confronts Linux

Look, the guy just gives his personal experience and point of view, no big deal. What kind of Windows expert he is? Absolutely irrelevant, so the question is: can he as an independent guy have a personal picture about Linux, about Windows or anything else? I think he can. And some of you guys just can’t learn once and for all that there is no ULTIMATE TRUTH, no one is in a possession of the ultimate truth!!! Yes please, just grow up, it is so f* easy but some of you never going to learn it how. Please don’t waste your time posting some crap about my message, because it is not worth of your time. I used over a dozen OS in my life, including some of very rare (most of you guys never even heard about some of that OS), and I have written hundreds of thousands lines of code in dozens of languages, right now I mostly develop for Windows / .NET, but also have much development in Java and C++ on Solaris and Linux. So I know what I am talking about. Linux is GREAT as an internet server, great in networking as any UNIX (not as good as Solaris but OK). But when you considering desktop, it is light years behind Windows XP, and in a fact the only OS close to Windows in the desktop arena is MacOS X.


Thank you,
Andy


Never forget, no one own the ULTIMATE TRUTH! And that includes you and me too.

    Nice effort ULTIMATE TRUTH guy. But you kind of blew yourself out of the water with the last line of the body. Firstly Windows is the OS almost like MacOS X. Yes I am sure someone is going to complain. But the truth is that all desktops with small variations are 90% Xerox stuff with nice pictures. Added to which from a ease of use and intuitiveness aspect this user must accept that the Mac's UI leads the way, especially for new users. I don't have a mac as I can't afford the huge price, but they are the leaders in UI as for the Linux options, they are behind the 8 ball so to speak. There saving grace is they are developing faster and so have great potential.
