They should add the word continuously into that survey because most people:

Try Linux
Dump Linux
Try Linux
Dump Linux
Try Linux
Dump Linux

and over and over again each time hoping Linux has improved and they can
finally move off Windows.

It hasn't happened for most yet based upon the 0.65 percent of desktop
market share Linux has.

Been using it since Slackware days, 0.97p1 or so. Download from a BBS and
make floppies for the install. Been running one version or another ever
since. Which reminds me, Fedora 9 is out, and all the mirrors were plugged
yesterday and the day before. Time to try again, no extra charge either. It
is so popular even the 1GB links are plugged solid.

But then, I have been UNIX literate for over 22 years. Unlike MS-Win
fanboys I could put more in my brain than MS-FUD. Linux/UNIX is more secure
and more stable. Part of the reason windows does not own the server market.
It just isn't stable and robust enough for some applications.

One observation, Linux has always been technically superior to MS-Windows.
But it just didn't come with a marketing machine and lobster dinners with
the CIO. Linux now has a better and more capable than Vista interface
(Compiz) and is much faster, people should try it. Linux often had the same
technologies that MS-Windows uses, LDAP, Kerberos and even native TCP come
to mind. Which of course Microsoft borrowed and bastardized. My current
recommended distros are Ubuntu and Fedora.

You should see Compiz work, amazing. Windows done right. MS-Windows for
boyz, X-Windows for men.

Resistance is not futile. It is actually profitable.

Whats your problem canadian bacon, gotta start your MS hate bull****
campaign whenever linux is mentioned?

Than what? Yesterdays versions?

Part of the reason windows does not own the server market.

Uh oh...I sense another lie coming!

Bull****! Is that why Windows owns the desktop world?

No, it came working out of the box the way people want an os to work.

BS - I have never known a single person to do that. The vast majority of
folks I'm aquainted with try Linux and stay there. A few give up and go
back to MS - unable to make the change; but I've never known a single
person to go through the crap you're trying to make us believe is standard.

Correction: Most people you are aquainted with are in a home or on social
security and can't change even if they wanted to. Let's keep the facts
straight. Just FYI.

How can you be a user when all you do is install Ubuntu, install
Windows 2008 Server RTM BFD, install Vista, play with your latex
girlfriend and then start it all over again day after day

At least he uses a latex girlfriend. We all know what your latex toy is and
where you put it.

I'd say that I've been a Linux user for about two hours over the last 12
years.
Install Linux, run it for 10 minutes, decide it ain't ready for prime time
yet.
Try again next year.

I keep hoping ... maybe some day ... but not today.

Earth to ray, let's return to reality shall we. You apparently don't get out
much because that is EXACTLY what happens. IF it was a good as you and the
other smacktards seem to think it is, then WHY are more people not using it?
IF it were as good as you say it is, **I** would still be using it on the
desktop. You REALLY need to get a grip, and quit with the FUD, and BS that
Linux is worth a **** on the desktop because it IS NOT. The only ones that
usually stay are the ones like Alias who do nothing but sit on their ass all
day playing Tetris, emailing mommy and daddy, and coming onto the newsgroups
whining and bitching how bad Vista is because they are too **** stupid to
set up an OS and make it function properly. Hell, YOU are even called out in
other non-tech newsgroups when you start spouting your FUD. And like Alias,
when that happens, you invariably result to insults and name calling. I'll
give you this though, you smacktards ARE hilarious and consistently give
those of us who DO know what are doing a good laugh. Sort of like the
dancing bears at the circus. Not too **** bright, but good for a laugh.

Yeah, you give it a /real good/ shot, don't you?

Bull****. Although your assumed name is quite appropriate. Keep
working that chicken bone.
