One cola moron (you) says Windows is 'masssively aided' by compatibility 
with the existing Windows ecosystem.

A second drooling moron (RonG) says the latest Windows (at that time) 
had NO compatibility with the existing Windows ecosystem.

Which drooling, ignorant asshole should I believe?  And why?

Too much choice for me...

I wonder if there's a single Linux user in the world who doesn't whine 
and lie about Microsoft?  Doubtful.

Me? Actually most "real users" don't because invariably they use a
hybrid of technologies.

You must remember that clueless wankers like turdv and wRonG aren't
representative of real SW Engineers in any shape or form.

You're one of the few.  TomB and Lusotec for the most part.  But that's 
it here on cola, that I've seen.

"bsd is for people who love unix; linux is for people who hate 
microsoft" is generally true.

They're barely representative of real humans.

When your product can't compete you have no other choice but to
attack the competition. Well you could improve your product but that
seems to be a foreign concept to the Linux community. They prefer to
churn out one defective distribution after another.

Exactly correct. They would rather blame the boogieman than look at what
they push as a grand solution.

"Hobbyware" that runs the vast majority of supercomputers and rendering 
farms -- and web servers. Yeah, right -- wishful dreaming by the 
WinDrones, who's hobbyware Malware Magnet OS voraciously sucks up the 
viruses and bots. 

To the WinDrones ... do a Google search sometime and look for the phrase 
"how to speed up Windows." It's amazing how many people can hardly make 
this hobbyware Malware Magnet OS work for them because of bitrot.

Meanwhile my Linux Mint 13 just keeps chugging along like it was new, two 
years after the initial install. I'm not stupid enough to use Windows.

You sound totally surprised.

The reason it "keeps chugging along" is you're actually afraid of Linux, 
so you left the stock/default install in place.





> I'm not stupid enough to use Windows.

Except for the last 20+ years on the job, and until recently, at home.

No matter what you say, desktop Linux still has failed to earn even 2%
usage. Don't forget to blame the boogieman!

I wonder if it still runs on 386 or 486 clones. If I'm not mistaken, 
support for either architecture has been removed a long time ago.

I would recommend only using Ubuntu and Unity. Canonical seems to be 
very insistent in fixing their desktop environment as much as possible 
and whatever the community decides, they tend to go their own way and 
make a much more reliable product. They're going to be using Mir instead 
of Wayland and unlike every other Gnome-based distribution, Ubuntu 
doesn't screen tear. You're not embarrassed to use Ubuntu the way you 
might be with crash-prone distributions like Fedora.

They were probably verbally assaulted by their biggest fans.
