Its not near as functional but shit man, open source software is something I can get used to.
Whats the new Longhorn going to run for a legit copy? ... 3...4...$500.00 Its just getting insane.

very true, but see all those people who are always hating on microsoft. My cousin works for them, they aren't as evil as youd think. They make some freakin great products. I'm not gonna hate on longhorn, they hired some of the most brilliant minds to put it together, itll cost what it costs, ya know? I don't want to pay for it, yeah.. .true... But I just dont think its worth the hassle to go for the open source stuff... its usually of lower quality (without you fidgeting with it, of course)... and it just takes too much effort.
Linux = rock solid im not hating on that either..
but microsoft needs some props, I bet half of you posting are on windows right now. It isnt SUPER-evil... its a well compiled program. the R&D = mad crazy, prolly much crazier than absolutely any other prog/prog suite out right now.

anyways windows owns, its a fact... Linux=efficient as shit when you got a real need for it, otherwise its a waste of time... just my opinion though.

Although i think the stats are that linux is on top of server OS's right now right... i hear that thats changing... and leaning more towards the MS solutions... who knows?
