"What could you expect more from an OS than window interface and file managing?"
I rate networking and device abstraction pretty highly as far as required OS functionality goes, but then I buy computers to use them, not to tinker with them. Personally, even though I'm a Linux fan, I think it's a waste of time, because it doesn't have the application and hardware options that windows does, and no matter how much anyone claims otherwise, the reality is that windows is the most economical platform for high-performance workstations currently available. I've long given up hope for Linux getting to that point... and unless Apple decides to start working with OEMs, they'll always cost more than the windows competition, but at least now they're in the same bracket as Dell, even though they are still more expensive. ----------------------------- Rakesh Malik My Web Site: http://www.whitecranephotography.com Blog: http://tamerlin.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/baratheon Sent from Seattle, Washington, United States On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 7:37 PM, Jean-Sebastien Perron <[email protected]>wrote: > I was looking at Windows7, M$ has really nothing to offer. > Mac is way too expensive for such a low spec computer. > Linux look like the only serious solution for professionals. > Windows is going full 100% to home user, again. > While Windows7 should cost no more than 50$, It has nothing new to offer. > > What could you expect more from an OS than window interface and file > managing? > > Realsoft is cheaper on Linux. > > Maybe I was asleep under a rock, but Microsoft killed TrueSpace for good. > Everything they touch turn to sh.. > > Jean-Sebastien Perron > www.NeuroWorld.ws >
