It always depends on what you try to achieve. For any given OS you will be able to find a task that would be much easier to perform under another operating system. > Sorry if you or someone else feel insulted by what I said, but also you can > not deny the fact that it is not working as it should be, because I have > evidence that it is not working... Given the amount of e-mails exchanged on this list, I won't deny that Skype has issues under Linux. However, blaming Linux for Skype issues would be like blaming MS when Firefox crashes. > As I decided not to use MS years ago I am considering buying Apple next > year. > > I think this is the best solution for me because recently I'm pretty buzzy > with my job and familly and I don't have that much time to debug linux. > > I would recommend using linux in home or small buziness office solutions as > a server but it's still far from stability as a workstation.

There is no definitive answer regarding how a given operating system fits in a given context. There are plenty of people who will find Linux much harder to use as a desktop operating system, and there are also plenty of people who will find Linux much easier. Your opinion and point of view is certainly valid, but is also biased, much like all of the other computer users' opinions. > I appreciate your opinion and the work all of the free software community > do - it is very important. > > I'm really sorry speaking so negatively about linux in general. No worries. Just try not to react on the spot when yet another small annoyance adds to the pile and makes your brain explode. A good night's sleep often helps not to start flame wars.
