While that may be the truth, Linux flaws are corrected when they are found. Microsoft just issues warnings and then release a "patch" which solves one problem and creates 5 more. Its not my lifes passion to find flaws in windows, because its not a challenge at all. I can find a windows flaw in less than five minutes.

Dempse you know less about this then alot of people your just posting because you realy hat windows. Infact i dont think i have ever met someont that hats it as much as you do.

But you are running a out of date windows i must say, Im shure you will have less probles with IE if you run XP. Even though you hat XP like most of all.

Just get a Mac and all your problems will be over with serfing the only probles you will have are Running games, hay theres lots of games for the Mac i mean have ya checked out that game "photoshop"

Yes but Linux has alot more people always working on it.
And there passion is to make windows a less of an operating system, so of course it's fixed faster.

Pinter, people who code for linux dont code to make windows a crappier operating system. They code because thats what they love and they want to make Linux the best operating system they can. Some may want to belittle microsoft, but most arent that narrowminded. Half of these people work other jobs on top of it.

The point that is most disturbing is this. Microsoft pays their employess good money (my brother worked there for 4 months time so I know) and yet a bunch of basement unpaid coders, can make a more stable operating system for free. Seems a little odd dont it?

Matt there are lots of games for the Mac. They have an emulator that can run 95% of windows games. If you had done any research whatsoever you would have known this. I doubt you have even used a mac in the past 4 years. Macs are good machines, they are just too expensive and too Nazi like in their control of their products.

So? If they can play them I say that counts. They get no less performance than we do. Just because people dont code specifically for mac doesnt mean that the options arent there.

You cant yet since It doesnt have all the options. Plus, once again it comes back to the end users not knowing what the fuck they are doing. I odubt you yourself could get linux running on an xbox.

but not the average user knows about the Emulator for the mac to use games.

I was talking to The Jew and he said that they have figured out how to do it.

Actually the emulator for the Mac is painlessly easy to use and thats what it was designed for. I have used it. Macs are the epitome of user-friendliness. My mother could use a mac and be comfortable with it. And yes I know that they have found a way to get Linux going on an Xbox without a mod chip, but I doubt many people can do it. It requires knowledge of programming as well as the Xbox itself. I know you couldnt do it, and I very much doubt that I could without some heavy learning.

i never said that i could do it, i just said it could be done. Why are you trying to make me look dumb, i do know what im talkin about i do know some stuff about comp ya know.

Im not trying to make you look dumb. You keep bringing up arguments and I keep bringing up the counter points. While yes you do know some stuff about computers, most of it is hardware and component related. Not to discredit what you do know, but its barely scratching the surface. I myself dont know nearly enough (at least I dont think I do). I never intended to make you look stupid matt, I was just continuing a debate.
