Sorry not a fascist anti windows user but I watched the program and found his comments a bit insulting, for 15hrs after the broadcast they spelt Ubuntu Ubunto After all Linux and open source might not be able to compete totally in the market as windows comes pre installed. I actually admire some of the things Bill Gates and Microsoft have done with charity etc.,the way they seem to bring up their family and treat their employees.The second comment down states that the Linux Community are a bunch of anti-microsoft fanatics. This ia generalisation, but unfortunately for the most part true. I find it everywhere, people raving about how **** Windows is and how Bill Gates is a bumboy etc. And yet there are a few sane souls out there who choose Linux because it works better for them, not because they just joined the IT version of Al-Qaeda.
-But microsoft are a ruthless giant intent on total control. The way they dealt with lotus and Netscape was unforgivable they refused discounts to vendors who pre installed non Microsoft software on their computers.Constantly governments have had to take them to court costing tax payers millions to comply with local rules.
This guy has no idea how hard people work to make linux work and obviously thought Ubuntu is Linux he will be first in line to congratulate google when they release their os he has been blinded by the hype about ms.As for the small band of devs what abou t Novell Sun IBM Red Hat etc I know they mostly work on corporate stuff but much of it filters down.
I started using Linux first Fedora then suse , ubuntu Mandriva Mint, because I had built my own computer and discovered a copy of windows would cost me almost as much as the computer and put me way over the cost of buying from a vendor.
Bye the way My son and daughter both have windows computers but Ubuntu works fo me.
Rant over
