In a way, but I am just making sure that everyone knows that it's not accurate :P

Its not

For one , Anybody who belongs to a community should know that Microsoft is always said to be sucky and so on. But we all know Microsoft doesn't suck. And people who use Linux are normally advanced at computing and know not to go around saying "This browser sucks!".

Cookie got it right.  Linux won't become the BEST OS until it can find a way to topple M$.  When you consider the number of people that know that site, probably 75% are devotees of Linux which makes it very much biased in the first place.

To me Gentoo is by far the best distro of Linux.
M$ Longhorn best of M$ collection.

Yeah. That's one thing that pisses me off about n00bs at times...They hate Microsoft with really no reason.
True they have cornered the OS market (and IE is the most used browser to my knowledge)...However Window's OS are very adaptable, it suits the needs of the Businessman, Home user and server runner...Although Linux have specialised operating systems for different needs (the main reason I like Linux) I'm going to stick with Windows as my primary OS for now at least. I don't really need a different OS, however I find it very useful to practise with as many Linux operating systems as possible every now and then...

Add to the Windows as main OS arguement compatability with software and you got a winner.  People in general want plug & play for software & hardware.  They don't want to manually configure everything.

wow this thread is a lot more pro microsoft than most on this forum. i agree with anubis when he says that noobs say windows is bad because it simply isnt true. people just arent appreciative of what they have im sure when we all think about what microsoft has done for the world it can never be said to be a bad thing.
im sure linux is quite good because if it wasnt no one would use it. but pesonally im a bit suspicious of an OS that you can get for free

did you try it? It seems that you didn't :P A free software may or may not be a bad program. Plus is free, is it bad? Linux is free, is it bad? Well, you can't say yes nor not without trying it. Don't be suspicious of a free OS... for the same reason I could be suspicious of Windows because I don't know what it internally does (I don't have access to its code)... ;)

With this post I'm not saying that Linux is better than Windows nor the opposite. Just that people have to be objetive and be able to reason why this or that OS is free or not...
