we all are happy with FEDORA,UBUNTU ,OPEN SOLARIS and operating systems alike but i think that we need not criticize windows so much ,for the following reasons
1. LINUX is very less user friendly as compared to WINDOWS . it's good for engineers like us ,but for common users ,to run LINUX may need special training against the user friendliness of windows. 2. linux is virus free,yes we all proclaim this ,but in reality that is just because LINUX is less popular than WINDOWS .more of the market is in hands of WINDOWS . 3. LINUX is free .we are proud for that ,but it is not that .many LINUXES like UBUNTU are in their developmental stages and are therefore free ,when they are mature like REDHAT they would be priced .although some are totally stable and free like SLACKWARE ,DEBIAN etc. don't be happy if you use FEDORA or OPEN SOLARIS because they are experimental operating systems ,for REDHAT and SOLARIS respectively ,they are just platforms for their experiments . i myself is a LINUX user and believe that it is a better operating system than WINDOWS ,but WINDOWS need not disrespected for being properiatiory . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ l...@iitd mailing list -- group http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
