I guess almost everybody here will now cry out load, but in fact I like the look and
feel of Windows... tho I do of course *not* like the stability issues, the confusing
stuff like registry and so on, the bugs and the way Microsoft keeps bullsh***ing the
customer... oh, and Steve Ballmer. This dude is far out.
But it sure was a greater hassle installing Unreal Tournament in Linux and there's
some few games I really like, hence I keep an old win98 alive...
Still I think Linux has the more remarkable concept but it's quite difficult to get
used to it. First time I installed it, it took me several phone calls just to fig out
how to access the floppy disk drive for I didn't have any manuals here and the HOWTOs
are full of stuff you really don't need to know if you just want to do minor
custumizations.
Last time for example I wanted to force my network card to 10MBit half duplex cuz it
didnt properly negotiate speeds with my DSL modem. After three days running around in
the web hunting info and reading howtos and module descriptions I gave up and phoned
a friend who made the changes right in the source code... ("Use the source, Luke")
Well, we'll C ;)
