Hmmm I meant why use Win* in first place.
-McLinux
Cos Win* rules the desktop, as of now, due to its ease
of use. (Pl. no stories of virus etc. Cos a good and
free AV, FW and spyware-checker and NON MS Browser are
enough to keep your system lean and mean.)
And anyway OS itself is a worthless piece of code.
It's only the addon s/ws that are imp.
I agree. 100%.
and if we talk about getting free softwares for os for linux, i think 
almost everything is available
for free for Windows too.

You can search and read about the "disruptive
technologies" and how, though a superior
technology/business practice exists, this new
disruptive technology creates a standard, easily
displacing the better one. Linux disrupted Unix in
server market. Dont even consider MS which was still a
baby when Linux started getting traction on server
side.
Will Surely do that.
Just out of curiosity, may I know which s/w or os you
used while replying to this mail? I am currently using
FF 0.9.3 + Win2K Pro SP4.
Though u were not asking me... i would love to, and will Proudly Reply 
that i use
Apple mail. The best in Class, only after Outlook Exp. 2003, I suppose.

Moderators: Can we have a poll of how many members are
using Win* Vs Linux (0 to 20%, 21 to 40% and so on. or
anyother better format so that we get to know how many
people are using which OS for how many percent time)?
Just a simple survey sort of thing.
This is Unfair. Where will I vote? I wanna vote too. i use Mac OS X 
10.3.5.
Ok then. i will go for Win Xp (SP2) cuz I get some time to browse net 
on it.
For browsers... i use Maxthon (Previously My IE2). That's my fav.
On Mac i tried using Firefox but itt's damn Unstable...like Mozzila.
So I continued with Safari/IE Mac 5.2.Works well and are quiet stable.
