Re: [Shameless plug]Wikipedia article
...You need to read up more. I'm telling people to insert more meaningful information on the topic, not vandalize the place. Seriously, the information is lacking. I found nothing talking about the secondary and primary partitions, little programs, and extreme bias. BEFORE you edit anything major and controversial (ie adding, um, a minor program in or something) you should discuss your proposed edit on the talk page.
Most of the article is biased and filled with horrible grammar. "Accessibility and Usability" is strongly anti-Windows (Not necessary inherent usability, however.) while the backwards compatibility topic in "Games" is really pro-Windows. (Psh, DirectX? What nonsense.)

It should be deleted anyway. It doesn't serve even the slightest purpose, and as is a large majority of the information on both Windows and Linux is remarkably inaccurate, not to mention completely infested with opinions, conjecture, and an apparent aversion to citation (as if you could cite opinion or conjecture). The article reads like a post from a Myspace user. It is laughable that Wikipedia did not delete this a long time ago.
Don't be arrogant - do your research first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...dows_and_Linux
And if you think it's junk, why don't you help fix it?

Which you contradicted by stating that you want "Linux extremists" to "spam" the page. i.e. Vandalize it.

The premise here is that usability is relevant to Linux, which isn't even an OS. I think most people would find a kernel alone quite difficult to use. Also, games aren't even relevant to the discussion, as they are not related to the technical capabilities of the OS. Except DirectX, which of course you seem to think is not, since it actually relates to the development platform.

Fixing it is deleting it. There is no place on Wikipedia for an article which is based entirely on opinion. There isn't even the slightest discussion of objective technical facts, and there is no reason for an article comparing them even if it did. Next you will come in here telling us to spam an article comparing Solaris and ITRON... :rolleyes:
