It is a very common misunderstanding that because of the pirated Microsoft product people knows computer well. It is not. The revolution of free software did not started because of Microsoft. It started to provide free and open source software to the user. GNU stands for "GNU is not UNIX". That is the free software revolution started to create a UNIX alternative to reach the mass people. Also BSD is derived as a free license of UNIX. Hence their could be free software and the evolution of software would roll on even if there was no Windows. However, competition is always good and people know that UNIX is much better than any other kind of OS standard. So Apple moved to a UNIX based OS leaving horrible Mac OS 9. And we get a half-closed Mac OS X. Also Macs are not too pricey but they do not deliver low profile hardware in the market.
Well, we are on Ubuntu list. So I stop here! ;) Nasim -- M. Nasimul Haque, M.Sc.(SUST) Wessex Institute of Technology Southampton, UK -- ubuntu-bd mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
