My god...

You're a few sandwiches short of a buffet it seems. :P

Nice.

The view from my office window is an old WW1 warship of the Royal Navy docked in Alexandra Dock at Harland and Wolff Shipyard.

Also have the slipway the Titanic was built on (the gantry's...

Of course you did. :rolleyes:

Anyway, in answer to your earlier question the reason it has become taboo is because the anti-microsoft rants tend to be along the lines of "M$ INSTALLED DA BLOATWARE...

Welcome to ubuntu forums. :D

Microsoft have entire departments dedicated to getting their software to work on Mac too.

What?

People are reading FAR too much into this.

Netflix will invest their money where they will see a big return.

The linux desktop user market will not see a big return. Thus, they will...

Because Silverlight is a very good platform to go for? It's not that hard to work out.

The percentage of their potential users that use linux is so small that it is not even worth worrying about....

Is this you?

Either way you sound like a real bundle of laughs.


Back on topic, I watch both but I do really like tv series....

Er, you have this backwards.

Why spend money investing in technology that works on a niche market that will only see a very small return on that investment.

It doesn't make financial sense.

Welcome to the world of someone who isn't a nerd turning on a linux machine. ;)

And what? If I could release a product to "only" OS X and Windows users I'd be delighted.



Bingo. Well said sir.

People need to be realistic here.

Why do I get the feeling you just made this up in your head as you went along?

I get BSOD's all the time on my Win 7 install but I'm 95% sure it's hardware related and I either have dodgy ram or dodgy sectors.

It does?

You need to remember that the ones that think flash is a good choice tend to be linux users and to big companies like Netflix there aren't enough of those for them to care that much.
...

Really? Like what?

Considering all the partnerships Netflix has with various companies I think it's fair to say that it is far from on its way out.

Youtube is moving away from flash.

(Also note that youtube can't use their flash based player on the iphone - a MASSIVE market).

The reason Netflix uses...

I'd rather spend less on a laptop and spend 2 minutes removing the default programs than spending more on the laptop because of higher OEM costs.

Most companies will do this. Their staff are only trained to solve problems on Mac and Windows and so they won't provide support or advice for Linux users. Providing Linux training is obviously not...

The clothes in the shop are all brutal looking. Not a chance I'd be seen wearing any of it.

Quite expensive too for all they are, but I guess they have to try and make money where they can.

Possibly the most factually inaccurate post I have ever read on Ubuntuforums. Congratulations.

The only idiot here (in reference to your "idiots" comment regarding Apple users) is yourself.

I...

Tonnes of .NET projects on GitHub.

It is no coincidence that the most popular Linux distribution is the one with all the $$$ behind it.

Applies to Fedora too, seeing as it is bankrolled by Red Hat.

Librarys are probably one of my favourite features of Windows 7.

Basically allows me now to store all my music, documents and photos in a better file structure (and all on a different partition...

You said it was better than javascript. It is javascript.

Ubuntu's only chance is to try and support as much as possible out of the box. This will help secure any OEM deal.

But then, supporting as much as possible out of the box is apparently "bloat",...
