But KDE does too if you have a few startup programs.
If you have no startup programs on Windows XP, its usable once the desktop pops up. Both slow down startup when you add startup apps, depending on how long each takes.
Duh.
Stop bashing Microsoft with unjustified points people. Microsoft might be a monopoly, blah blah blah, their OS may be riddled with security holes, but it IS very fast and usable. Windows is the most usable OS I know of.
And don't tell me Linux doesn't have vulnerabilities. There was an OpenSSH one just recently waiting to be exploited.
Many of these virii spread so easily because most newbies use Windows, and spread it because they can't (taking the Swen worm as an example) differentiate an e-mail with bad grammar claiming they need to install a patch with an attachment from an e-mail asking them to go to Windows Update to download the patch.
If the newbies were on Linux, thats where the virii would go.
If Linux was the most used OS, even more vulnerabilities would be found in it and applications included with distributions.
Windows XP is the best OS for me. I am not a newbie in any way, I am a software developer, but I like it. In addition, writing software on Windows targets the majority of users, and Visual Studio.NET 2003 is inarguably the best IDE around, considering all platforms.
I know many people like KDE and Linux. I do too. I just think Linux needs more users (so there are more apps, more users to use those apps, more choices, etc.), and MUCH better performance. But for now, I'm sticking with Windows. |

Best...icons...ever!
These are so warm and 1337. The Red Hat Bluecurve icons are the worst icons possibly invented when compared to these. Actually, any other icon theme is terrible and evil when compared to these icons.
Great job, keep the icons coming! |
