Meh. If you want to program in Java, why not just program in Java?
And Linux...heh...they're so ashamed of that product they have to give it away... I don't mind calling Microsoft to the carpet for legitimate reasons, but let's all be honest with ourselves here and not just target them because they're Microsoft.
I perfer KFC over MFC. Its finger linkin' good!
If (and it's a big IF) Linux or MacOS (any version) had the same market penetration as Windows: * People would bash them with equal fervor* More malware writers would target those platforms.
*Gasps very loudly and falls over*Terrible, just terrible. Long live freeware and shareware!No one's targeting MS for invalid reasons, here. When essentially the largest and wealthiest company in the world can't make an OS that functions properly and isn't absolutely riddled and teeming with bugs, issues, gaping holes, and various mysterious ailments - what else can you expect? Yep, all products have flaws, obviously. But flaws to this size and extent are what's shameful. You can't tell me you've never spent hellish days tinkering with winbloze incompetence until you just wanted to pour water over your motherboard and cackle viciously?I've got a Mac-crazy sibling, myself, who loves to toss this one at me:*spits out breakfast cereal laughing*

I definitely see the logic here. However! Every malware writer I've ever heard of used a Unix-core OS, mostly Linux. Interesting...
Most of my frustrations with Windows, or any OS, is due to poorly-behaving third-party software...or worse...poorly-behaving users who just accept any old virus that wants to install itself.
And FWIW, when I was in college (15 or so years ago), 9 out of 10 viruses on campus were MacOS viruses. :p
But sure, I'm not trying to say we should go for the OS "most virus scripters choose!" Gotta admit they're far less vulnerable, though.
This blog was wrote by another person but he shares a lot of the same views as I do so I put it on my myspace page, trust me its funny. Entitled One thing PC users can do that Mac users cant!blog.myspace.com/44816394
All the Vista nonsense is just too hilarious. It doesn't even make me smile. **Looks down at the "Vista Capable!" sticker on her laptop** I bought you for school when my PC's HD mysteriously died while I was on vacation! Nothing more!Every other day I tell myself I've had enough of MS. Then I fire up Linux and groan about the new things I haven't yet learned, and boot back into MS. Laziness knows no bounds. (Or lack of time, however you want to put it.) Just a couple of days ago, I installed a vital MS security update. Which resulted in the destruction of my Realtech soundcard dll. Contact distributor for a new dll. Yep, I'll just call Realtech right up.But whaddya mean, Adobe? Not Adobe!! PS is so... so... integral!!
Oh man, realtech sucks... Their junk has given me so much grief. I finally ripped an old SB Live! out of a P3 I have laying around and used that rather than the onboard realtech junk soundcard.
