O.P. The OS wars: outcome decided!
Those who don't like Linux can have a good look at this page: http://srom.zgp.org/. Just look at that green bar next to Linux...

Oh... by the way... Linux rules!

Mind you, Windows rules as well.

1) Windows is more widespread then Linux.
2) People say more rapidly "sucks" when something is associated with MS (even for no reason).
3) Since more users use Windows, relatively more users will complain.
4) If a problem exists in Linux, people wont say "Linux sucks" as rapidly because often the people who use Linux know that saying something like that is stupid and know that 90% of all errors are human-errors, not OS-errors (because Linux isn't exactly for the novice) and the Linuxers will often try to fix the errors themself instead of posting a "X sucks"-message on the net....


Above points makes that the graph is only "fun" for all the browserwar-kiddies and means *beep*-*beep* when it comes to thru valid data/figures...


PS: it is an original fun idea though.... (but nothing more then that)

:blah!: dodgy statistics.... linux is good for some things where windows fails and the opposite. Both rock and suck ... :P (for example, I can't do my work in windows, because the company makes the perl scripts in linux, and I can't use linux @ home because it doesn't know any driver for my network card and i don't hve internet :notfunny: )

You can test Knoppix. It's a Linux distribution that runs from a CD at startup, loads itself to the RAM and doesn't touch your HHDs

I've seen that page before but WHO rated the OS? I mean look...Solaris got a better review than Windows....and Solaris shouldn't even be listed as in OS it sucks so badly....it's like Windows with more command prompts :dodgy:


According to the page it was done by searching AltaVista and with the OS name plus "rocks" or "sucks" next to it...I mean just because a person wouldn't put a web page up hailing or booing an OS doesn't mean they do/don't like it....
