blue just called IBM a punk hacker... lol
Remember, IBM is a big supporter of Linux!<br><br>As long as you understand what you have lost, and what is at stake when using M$ products, and can accept that, well you made the choice.<br><br>Just so you understand why so many of us rail against M$. Just because something is the 'best' performance wise doesn't mean it's the best option overall.<br><br>As a similar example, witness how the US is 'stepping backwards' on energy policy, and tell me in 10 years we won't regret it... <p></p><i></i>
lol
come on we all know IBM is up to no good, those tv ads are just to silly <br> <p></p><i></i>

There really is a better browser than IE
I go back and forth. The main reasons I keep going back to windowsXP from Linux are:<br><br>1. Windows is a faster UI than KDE3<br><br>2. The overall UI of Windows is better. What I mean by that is that all the little mouse clicks are intuitive in XP, whereas in KDE3 even just a simple cut and paste operation can often take twice as many clicks.<br><br>What 1 and 2 above boil down to is that when I need to "get real work done right now (tm)" I boot immediately back to windows because I know it will take me the least amount of time to accomplish a specific task.<br><br><br>As for the other GUIs that linux has, I don't think they realistically compare to windows in terms of their feature sets. <p></p><i></i>
Is there really only one optimum GUI?
Are you saying that Linux has to mirror the windows UI to be efficient or is more a matter of user training and bit of process optimisation?<br><br>Could they get by having a standard UI and a windows "emulation" UI? Or would they get sued by M$? <p></p><i></i>
heh
IO333 thanks for the help, its great to have some one that plays on both sides and says windows is better <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I use the Mac OS for most stuff these days...
We run OS9 here (we use specialty software that hasn't caught up with OSX yet), and I am more comfortable in the Mac environment than the Windows environment. Note that we have multiple buttons and scroll wheels on the mice here...<br><br>This especially applies to Photoshop and Quark stuff!!!<br><br>And don't get me started on just how easy it is to convert .wav to .mp3 on a mac... <p></p><i></i>
