i'm sure we all respect eachother's opinions, but you're being an ass. the simple fact is that not EVERY task needs a desktop. in fact *nix does have better availability (longer uptimes) than windows (unless you're not doing anything). linux/unix is more customizable and better suited to certain tasks. hell, my windows box crashes about 5 times a week because it has trouble recovering from sleep. actually it's crasshed right now. hmmm.. clearly windows has some problems too. it's also ridiculous to keep mentioning *professional* software. i'm a software engineer. i've worked on projects where we had to extend existing *professional* software and it was crap. really. worse than anything that's ever been in the linux kernel or driver set. another simple fact: professional does not imply quality. oh, and by the way, since you seem to think that price implies quality. the piece of shit program i worked on sold for about $5,000 (us dollars). it was terrible, buggy, poorly written, bad gui, bad serial interfacing. oh. and it ran on windows. high quality my ass. > All this thread started becouse someone say that IrDA under Linux is better > than IrDA under Windows and that's not true, this is something that > probably make laugh also the people that develop IrDA stack under Linux. you're reading comprehension or understanding of the original statement isn't very good. this is now the 3rd i'm going to list my problems with the windows irda stack. it doesn't support comprehensive IAS manipulation (get, set, query, delete). you can't change the default device name. it doesn't have an event oriented discovery api. therefore, it is less functional than the linux irda stack. and microsoft has made no moves to update it or change it - that i have heard about. > You hate them?

LOL LOL LOL... yes. you are officially a user and have fully demonstrated your complete lack of understanding about software development and operating systems principles. i believe that you have just earned alot of respect from the people who develop your free software by blatantly insulting their ideology, competency, and work. everybody else, i'm sorry for asking such a critical question and starting this rant thread.
