I work at a data center and deploy dedicated servers, doing bare metal installs of windows 2008 is painful with OEM cd...Not to mention I've had one hacked not being behind a firewall within 30 min with no updates. Most people believe the ease factor from their bigbox computer all packaged for them. Try the real world. The junk doesnt even come with intel pro 1000 or working realtek drivers! This is 2008 SERVER mind you. Granted I clone installs now via sysprep the point is still valid. Oh and installing programs? Ever heard of a "PACKAGE MANAGER?" Also the linux-games-graphics-card debate is played out, obviously the market share is low so companies will not make games for Linux, That does that mean Linux sucks. hello retards... companies close up their hardware just as much as software companies do. Ati does not release specs for people to create drivers, it's only because Nvidia is gracious enough to write a proper CLOSED SOURCE driver. Ugh freggin chore boy rockheads. Overall its my observation that Windows makes people stupid. Wow the idiocy here is incredible.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Mac OS X is far less secure, for example: in Pwn2Own 2009 it was fully taken over in 10 SECONDS!!! LOL. True, Linux is more secure. I'm just glad I'm not a tech illiterate moron using a $3000 Mac that has worse specs than a $900 PC running Windows. Mac and Linux both have worse gaming capabilities, less software, worse Flash 10 video performance and worse support (by this I mean there are far more Windows users than Mac and Linux users so chances are if there's something you need help with there will be a guide some where). Also, I'm going to squeeze this in at the end, Macs are less customizable. Windows? Insecure? LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Linux is just a crappy operating system. Use it or don't. Linux users are like viruses spreading disease. They trick hapless people into installing Linux over Windows. These poor victims just can't get anything done once they fall prey to the Linux virus. Luckily, there is a cure. Install Windows. Or DOS for that matter. There is better software for DOS than Linux.

Make things harder for people. You know what, just change all of the code to some esoteric bullshit and have the user challenged while he goes through the daily routine of opening a web browser.

Three hours just to get something installed under linux, five minutes in Windows XP. That has to tell you something about Linux, which I was using for a year btw, and it really frustated the heck out of me. Give it a few more years and we'll see if its progressed some.

Secure yes. Less resource intense, yeah when there is no UI. But the major failing point to me is that under the hood the various distros are too different. I am sick of spending my life searching the net to try and figure out how to do the same thing over and over again on the various distros, and then typing out miles of commands at a command line. Documentation isn't there. RHEL? might as well pay the money and use Windows, at least there is only ONE Windows! Linux is a great novelty for light weight use, as long as you can live inside Gnome or KDE, but that is the same this MS did with Win 3.11 over DOS. Wish I could kick all this crap to the curb and go back to my beloved FreeBSD. At least there is only ONE of those also! Yeah I am pissed, I just wasted 6 hours trying to get something to work on RHEL with no luck, but yet installed on Ubuntu in 10 seconds. Linux Sucks! Generally, Linux still sucks. Secure yes.

Not to mention that it is hard to get real work hardware to work with linux. Linux is probably the most secure OS, though, but that is more due to the fact that nobody wants to use it. The main point of a computer operating system is to operate the system so the user can get real work done. With linux one spends too much time attempting to appease the fickle linux rule makers and productivity drops. People spend all day searching the web to figure out the latest changes to shell scripting or why the new tape drive doesn't work or talking to tech support. The geeks have failed, it is time to let business people take over. The one reason OS-X is successful and easy to use is because there is a profit motive. It isn't just a hobby to do between tokes and watching Scooby Do reruns. Well, it is not 2010 and Linux sucks more than ever, aided by the ever changing rules of shell scripting.

Better yet give me back my Atari TOS operating system least it worked reliably. It never missed a beat and created some of the best known dance music. Or give me a loan to buy the Korg OASYS. Korgs GOD keyboard they ever produced. Which as I understand is running on linux.
