you look like a Darknut in "Spirit tracks" you don't look very good

In the spirit of off topic, Shibboleth is one rather nice piece of open source Microsoft technology.

Maybe I should have put my glasses on, yes.

I use Fedora 12, I like it quite alot. I don't want to get Windows, I'm happy with my operating system.

I used Fedora for a while and I found it good but crappy too. Games don't run well, lots of plug-ins missing and unnecessary crap so I moved away from it. WTF Leo I thought you said you wanted Windows.

Well, the only reason some people get Windows is for the games. Linux has better security, and that's one of the reasons I like it.

I saw in a Windows magazine thing that Virus protecting thingies don't work properly.

Get an anti-virus program DUH

I am using Windows 7 and I like it way better than vista.

There is a rule when it comes to windows versions: Only every second one is usable.

Windows 3.1: crap
Windows 3.11: standard for years
Windows 95: Big revolution but too revolutionary, lots of annoying quirks.
Windows 98: Fixed the quirks in 95.
Windows ME: An unstable catastrophe.
Windows XP: First criticized but later embraced, especially after the release of...
Windows Vista: a commercial disaster for MS.
Windows 7: The real successor for Windows XP which learned a lot from the errors of Vista.

(the server versions NT, 2000 and 2003 are leaved out intentionally here).

Another rule: wait for SP2.

I had Vista. It is KRAP. One of the main reasons I once turned to Linux.

Finally! this is normally using linux but just when you can


Finally! i'm finish to this boss

My favorite OS all-time was PCLinux2007, it worked never crashed and had full media support at install.
However, it had a bad package manager set-up,(synaptic), which did not allow installing git without destroying nearly every program I used.
PCLinux2007 also was not recommended to compile on.

So I installed Debian Lenny,(stable)...no idea why they call it stable. it is not stable, however It only crashes 1 or 2x a day.
Usually when running gimp. still its pretty good as it loses no data even when I have to unplug box to reboot.

The current, general trend by both KDE and Gnome to use every resource available to create a non-intuitive GUI, virtual assures the success of
new alternative Linux desktop environments.

This seems to be a pervasive trend in open source development period, the gimp gui illustrates this.

so atm I have no favorite OS... I may give win7 a go, or Suse.
