I am not going to side with anyone on this but the bottom line is that
everyone should show a small amount of maturity and accept the
following. You dont have to like xzy os but you have to at least accept
that some how it has it place in the computer world. This is a simple
concept that I gotten my most pro MS friends to accept and it keeps the
peace. I wish they would try linux but i am not going to force them but
they accept the fact that it has a strong foot hold in the server market
and on my desktop. As they put it linux has there place just not on
there desktop. While I prefer to have a hybrid.
Paul while i seen you get on people cases about distro fights i think
that anti windows post should be keep to a minium and should be strictly
inforced. Also the ongoing influx of Windows Questions on a linux
listed should not be allowed. There are plenty of "Windows" list.
