The "better OS" is not so better at the Desktop, hence the choice= of > ratware:-) You clearly have a different opinion of what constitutes a good OS than I have. I prefer a desktop/laptop OS that is stable, reasonably securable, and productivity enhancing. I do not find immense and unnecessary bloat, a fundamentally broken approach to things like privilege separation, and a GUI so pervasively bound to interfere that CPU can spike to near 100% just by moving the mouse across the screen to meet those needs. Perhaps the fact that I use my desktop/laptop systems for things like writing code and articles rather than playing Guild Wars all day colors my perceptions. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1XoykACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWmUQCgtiB5ZIp8eWkCR8pEbPE6biK1 qMYAnReh8TEljTF+nDyYY5iQkDcusi8l =We+/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TB36FDmn/VVEgNH/--
