I would definitely get a Commodore 64X from those dumbasses at Commodore USA if TF2 was on Ubuntu.
And if I had a thousand+ dollars.
I guess windows 8 will be good for one thing!

I've never heard of a Unix operating system before 1984 that used a GUI. All you said was a nonfact and a known fact. Doesn't change what I said.
I know that a lot of server software and associated things are done with it but it doesn't have the software base that Windows or even OSX has.
which is why i am glad software devs are starting to pay more attention to linux.
i also hate that nvidea plays nice with pretty much all distros, while radeon is a real pain to install drivers. i still cant get it to install correctly on my debian on my desktop!

Read only the title can think of only one thing, Being the new Vista >:V
Edit due to disagree: OH we where talking about GOOD things, Nope cant think of any. Besides being a new way for windows to watch every-fucking-thing you do on your computer, and new and interesting ways of having loop holes in their base code.

its quite nice very stable and very easy to use if and i us if sparingly you know what your doing... and if setup correctly can be quite secure and as most viriuses cant hurt you as theyre not coded for that enviroment
in fact,it is incredibly hard for linux to get a virus! which is why i never use antivirus on it
i see it alot... it is great for quickly setting up servers, and having tons of services run at once on one box with low resource being used
Windows OS: "Pre-built" so that the average consumer doesn't need to learn a whole lot of coding or "know-how" to get things running. But they will need to spend a considerable amount of time "learning the language" of Windows.
Mac OS: Same as the Windows OS in terms of "pre-built." Like Windows, the average consumer doesn't need to learn a whole lot to make things work. However, they need to "learn a different language" when compared to Windows.
Linux OS: All the big and little parts are on the table. The consumer needs to have basic to moderate knowledge of coding and "know-how" to properly put things together so that it fits to his or her personal tastes. They can essentially make a "new language"

dont worry... i dont know much either... i just get the logic and thought process of how to code... all it takes is planning, logic, memorization of the language you are coding in (or the manual pages online), and what advantages that language has over others. i hate coding, mostly because it is extremely frustrating to write programs, and i make tons of minor errors. glad i am not a software engineer!

pffff i've had upwards of 6 concussions, me remember complex shit? lolno not going to ever happen again.
80% of residential users have and want to be restricted since usually they have no idea what they're doing. In addition, Linux will never dominate the residential market due to its complexity. Regular user needs to get home, turn his PC on, check his wall on the Facebook, twit some shit, check his email, watch some videos on Youtube, play Angry Birds and that's it.
Regular user doesn't have time / doesn't want to spend time on tweaking Linux.
Just live with that.
Unix is a father of everything. OS X is a mother of Mac OS.
Linux is a GUI version of Unix.
Simple. Open Source means that there is no centralized support regularly and community codes the patches voluntarily which brings in a delay in patching the vulnerabilities. It also adds additional mess in SDLC.
That's why businesses use Red Hat and other proprietary distributions of Linux. And that's why open-source sucks sometimes.
Not correct. The biggest advantage of *nix OS family is that it's a robust secure OS. Bringing in graphical interface (GUI) always brings an additional set of vulnerabilities and security holes (research why it's considered to be a best practice to have X Window module disabled).
PS: I lol'd reading this article originally posted at Microsoft's News Center: http://www.biznix.org/whylinux/microsoft1.htm
also joe if you want some hard mode linux check out slackware ive attempted several times to get it to install and still havent figured it out even reading faqs online while doing it
