I copied this Windows Vista ad from a journal. Seriously, you can surely guess that this a fake :P

Tails92 is totally right. I can't wait to go buy a quantum computer and Windows Vista to get all of those features!
Seriously, Microsoft's strategy is crap. I mean, instead of releasing for computers that exist and upgrade as computers become faster, they release an operating system with half of its code being:
fork();
And the other half being:
malloc(0xDEADBEEF); /* Hehe... Dead beef. Hehe... */
Then everyone has to wait for 6.0Ghz 64 bit systems with 8GiB of registered DDR to be standard just to run the thing without having to eat at the soup kitchen afterwards.
All the Free operating systems release early, release often, and it works. Microsoft releases seldom, late, and in big blobs.
Call me a zealot, but I prefer my freedom to modify software as I like, to use it as I like, to choose, more than having better virus integration.

Or that we're sick and tired of fueling unecessary flamewars.
Seriously, while all the anti-Windows talk irks me, we ARE allowed to have differing opinions. Just as I can make a two-million-page-long rant about why it's better and you won't listen, your arguments (which mostly strike me as pretty stupid arguments anyway) don't impact us. Hardly "owned" anything, I say, just a differing opinion (mixed in with some crude jokes attacking a popular target).
So, really, how about you STOP the ego trip and just shut up? Please? I'm being nice here.

*Sigh* While I suppose everyone is free to like his/her operating system, I simply enjoy having the freedom to look at the code, to see what I'm running, and all that stuff. I'm not an MS hater or a Linux zealot. I just enjoy Free software (and the operating systems which are free software, like GNU/Linux and the BSDs), and MS is working against my goals by making everything proprietary.
I agree. Let's stop with the flamewars. I don't know what made me want to make that last post.

What's the reason of posting such message? Seems that you are trolling.
What you can expect from that? That all the people will use Linux or OS X?
Forgot that.
And Windows Vista Beta2 is not yet released, so you can't judge it at this moment.
In Italy is the inverse. 13 is good luck.Sik said:
Linux is a great operating system. However, it still lacks the main thing that I look for in an operating system: All the applications that I use run natively in Windows. Yes, I could use Wine to run all my applications, but what would be the point? I'd be running an instance of Windows under Linux whenever I used the computer, when I could just run Windows instead.
Yes, that means I'm supporting the evil empire, but in recent years the evil empire has been doing a lot better. Windows XP is very stable, and while I have to reformat every once in a while, it's better than having to run all of my applications through Wine.
I'll stick to Windows until Linux actually natively supports applications that I need to run, which considering most of the applications I use were made around 1995, will probably be never.

There are alternative applications that run in Linux, and I must say that they might be just a little better. Plus, most (if not all) of them are free.
Office = OpenOffice.org
Paint, Photoshop, Imager, InfranView, PhotoEditor = GIMP
Fromtpage, Dreamweaver, Word = Scribus
Notepad, Word, WordPad = Notepad++
Everything that you could possibly need is built right in to the system. Sure, there aren't many games on Linux, but what there are are usually funner, in my opinion. Besides, SRB2 can be ported to linux, and that's pretty much all you need.
