11/22/99: This has been a debate basically ever since the Linux OS was created back in 1991 by Linus T., a believer in the Open-Source movement.

Let me start by saying Linux can beat the living shit out of Windows any day! Windows traditionally is loaded with bugs and other errors, that you have to routinely download patches also (case and point... the bubbleboy virus), something seems to always go wrong when you run Windows. Furthermore, Microsoft intentionally designed their OS with no security measures in mind. Windows lets anyone access, create, read, and delete files anytime they want! A newbie can delete the entire windows directory and Windows will let them.... lol. Its mind boggling to see how many holes are in the software to let hackers in. Microsoft's response to all this... "We wanted to make Windows easier to use...", rofl. Now get this, now Microsoft wanted people to upgrade to the 2nd version of Win98...lol and now they want over $200 bucks just to upgrade to Win2000! What a bunch of fucking lamerz! $200 bucks for shitty software that crashes all the time, no thank you! Microsoft won't even give a single line of code of the Windows OS to anyone! So you can't even fix it your self

Linux on the otherhand is a powerful OS that is completely stable. You can leave it running for years without it crashing. Linux is completely virus-free because viri can't do shit in Linux unless the person ran it from root access (you'd have to be pretty goddam stupid to do that). Linux has built-in protection also. Newbie's can't access shit unless the root admin gives them access to them. Linux is Open-Source which means if something needs fixing (I doubt it) or you want to modify it, you get the complete source code to the system. Now lets talk about price... how much for a great OS like Linux? The Answer is its FREE! So why go out an buy another Windows OS and/or Software, when you can get practically every piece of software free for Linux! All you have to do is log onto an FTP site and begin downloading.

If Windows could become as powerful as Linux and also become Open-Source then it would finally be a really great system

Well, im done Windows bashing now, now to answer a lil question:

Q. If you hate Windows so much why do you use it and write software for it?!?

A. Because, Windows has all the kick-ass video games, and I program for it to make it better =P
