Then i have to question your experiance with XP if u think even for a minute that some hobo OS is better than XP.
Quote:I run Windows on lock, i run linux with no firewall or active antivirus
And that is supposed to absolve Linux of every security problem it has? And u say ur technically adept?
Quote:And your two points make Linux superior from a technical and financial point of view.
I think i found the problem with our discussion TRaven. You actually think if a something is free and open source, it automatically becomes superior to something that isnt free and open source. Where as, i call it a hobo OS. Like the hobo on the street willing to do it for free. Ur reasoning is, Linux and such hobo OS are free and open source and therfore are better than XP. By that logic, if MS made a hobo OS, it would be supperior to XP. By that logic, ANY OS that is free and open source is by nature superior to XP. not very practicle, but its free and beggars cant be choosers.
I think that is a very nice way of putting it. An agency goes broke and has no money to get the required software.... so they use a second rate cheaper alternative, thats not very practicle but hey atleat its free and open source, and call it superior for being free and open source.
There is a word for that...delusion?
