Ubuntu Linux crapware: "spend more effort getting their system to handle their tasks than the actual tasks themselves."

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/ubuntu-linux-i-like-it-but-it-doesnt-like-me/13750 I don't know about you, but this sounds like an operating system that might really take off... Thanks to 7 for this Linux self-nuke article.

The guy is clearly a "win-troll". How do I know? He recognises Linus has some issues :- "Typically Linux has some issues with various laptop devices, such as Wi-Fi and audio" "For both my personal use and my work as a system administrator, I use quite a few apps for work and personal use that are typically only usable under Windows or Mac" "I am disappointed by the inability of several of my favorite apps to work under Wine." "But as you can see from my own attempt, a lot more effort is required in order to make the transition." Yup. Clearly, according to Peter Koehlmann or Dumb Willy Poaster, a low IQ "windiot" with no clue. Doesnt he know that Willy Poaster has already advised people that only idiots would use Ubuntu for "real work"?

Thinks he needs proprietary software that only runs under Windows and doesn't seem surprised when it doesn't run well in non-VM emulation. Imagine that. Although "doesn't run some random WinDOS app" is terribly vague and doesn't do a thing to address the question of whether or not that percieved need is real or mostly bogus. Those kinds of bogus perceptions also keep people away from Macs. [deletia] -- Apple: because TRANS.TBL is an mp3 file. It really is! ||| / | \

No they don't. Price and "no need to change" keeps some people away from the Mac. It might have escaped your attention Jed but about 15x more people use Macs on the desktop than do Linux.

It Microsoft comes up with a need to change on a constant and ongoing basis. What has kept Microsoft alive all these years is the perception that they own the marketplace. > might have escaped your attention Jed but about 15x more people use Macs > on the desktop than do Linux. Your irrational hatred for all things No. I am quite familiar with Mac marketshare numbers. So I it hasn't escaped my attention that you are a shameless liar.

Are you that ignorant Jeb? When a company has 90 + percent of the desktop market, it's fair to say they own the market place. So if Microsoft doesn't, who do you think does?

No, not really. This is just Lemming FUD.

There is very little real vendorlock for a consumer.
