There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sounds like Vista was better than Ubuntu. I never used Vista.

Very sensible, it really was a bit of a mess.
As to Ubuntu, I have not used it extensively, but my general experience is that it is no better or worse than Windows. But it is different.

Driver support was my biggest problem and then just learning where things are is a pain in Linux. They don't name things very intuitively. So, for me, Windows is worth the money. I've learned my lesson.

Ubuntu is also worth the money (i.e nothing). You need to understand that Linux was never designed as a replacement for Windows. It's an open source version of UNIX that anyone can tailor to their own needs. As such it has many applications, but is not aimed at the average home PC user.

Could be true, but that's not what the "word" was in the industry when it came out.

I have never heard it touted as such.

Linux is user-friendly: it's just selective about who its friends are.

I think WinME is better than Linux.

Last saturday I had to go south towards Austria and guess what? All four (!) lanes of the highway are clogged up with vehicles from Mordor (you know: Yellow license plates, blue field with 'NL').
It takes really a small army to fill upn a highway with four lanes. An army of guys who don't have a clue about driving, but try to drive in cool formations across all lanes. And what are you all doing here? Don't you have work to do? Don't you have any mountains of your own? Must you really wear those wood shoes while driving?And let's not talk about that overwelming smell of cheese...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Our schools just had a week of vacation so everyone was out and returning on Sunday, that's why
Also, we really dislike the Germans, so our favorite pastime on a Sunday afternoon is to cross the border and bother some Germans orcs

So you finally agree that it was a good idea to avoid any 'free' upgrade to Win 10?

I posted about Linux and you want to make this about Microsoft? You need to get over them. They have a grip on you.

I am quite finished with them. I just wanted to show how quickly this kind of argument can backfire.

It was a simple cliche. If you want to take it as an absolute truth, go for it.
By the way, I upgraded 3 computers, 1 was a laptop, and not a single problem upgrading to the free win10. Therefore, look in the mirror and see the reason for your problems with win10.  Actually, to be serious for a moment, most of the problems upgrading have been because of drivers. Just saying.

Now that's true. I don't want them to snoop around on my hard drive and also don't want them to tell me what we are going to do with the computer at what time. And yes, they can also keep their 'crap store' and all the other little thingies.
Short: I don't want to be treated like a muggle, no stuff for muggles and no changes which make room for stuff for muggles. They want idiots for customers and that's what they are going to get in the long run.
