I have just brought a new little notebook...

Only reason I can see for insisting on Windows over Mac is if you really enjoy buying, installing and tweaking aftermarket components for your machine. That's what makes windows the OS of choice for enthusiasts. and don't misread me on that, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being a computer enthusiast. But I'm a computer user, not an enthusiast. To me, it's an appliance for getting work done and for light entertainment. I buy a computer with the best OS for that task set, one that is low maintenance, intuitive front to back, offers the best available out of the box security and reliability. Linux scores some of that, Windows nearly none of it, and OS X nearly all of it.

Is there a premium for it? Does a car that runs cost more than one that doesn't?

*ROTFLMAO @ 'aftermarket components'* This dumbfuck just doesn't get it. The so-called 'aftermarket components' are actually premium parts that do not usually come with a lower-end PC. Did not everyone note that both the PC and the MAC I posted used ATI video cards? How is this possible? I was sure that Apple uses 'quality components'. You mean to tell me ATI has one section that manufactures 'quality' parts, whilst another section manufactures 'shit, lower-end' parts? Does ATI also manufacture their 'good' parts in the USA, and their 'bad' parts in China????

Fuck, you people are stupid.

*gasp* I made it onto someone's 'IGNORE' list? Oh happy day! Yet, I will bet anything that this piece-of-shit is pulling an 'EGGS'. Remember, the asshole who claimed he had me on IGNORE for over 2 years, yet read my every post whilst claiming he could not do so?

Get over it people! I am your better, and the rest of you are my BITCHES. All of you, yank down your underpants, bend over and be ready to take my hard, throbbing insistent schlong up your assholes.

I slowly migrated to Windows over the years because it's what all my corporate clients use, and I have to make transferable/editable files for them.

Since I've mostly learned my way around Windows, and can troubleshoot and customize it fairly well, I don't really cry a lot over what I may have "lost" -- and the longer I don't use Macs, the less sense it makes to switch back. (Unless MS Office and Adobe Creative Suites suddenly become seamless across-platform use -- then I wouldn't have a problem)

Don't get me wrong, I miss Macs, and all the headaches that they didn't give me that I live with now. But I can bear my plight, much like Uncle Vanya bears running the family estate. In both cases, the vodka helps. ;)

I have run Ubuntu, you moron. You cannot do shit. Much of the software is only good for Linux, not much else. Of course it is free, after all it is crap. I know since I have tried it all. Couldn't touch their Windows counterparts.
As for the hardware, everyone who has ever installed Linux has experienced difficulties with the simplest of things, like installing a fucking printer. I have never had that problem, ever. Adding peripherals to an Linux system is a pain in everyone's ass. Why the fuck do you think no one uses Linux, you dumb shit? Fucker is FREE, yet STILL no one uses it. That tells you something.

I think your problem with Ubuntu boils down to a PEBKAC error. Every new Ubuntu user I know wonders why they didn't move over to it sooner.

Of the gem of your idiocy: Much of the software is only good for Linux, not much else. Of course it's only good for Linux, considering it has to run on it. However, I regularly swap documents and all manner of files between Unbuntu, which is installed on my main machine and the laptop, which runs XP. Indeed much of what Windows 7 is was lifted [ and subsquently made completely inoperable] from the open source community.

Do I need to list the corporations and government agencies worldwide that are switching to Ubuntu or some other Linux distro, to further provide evidence that Ubuntu is widely used and has a ever increasing slice of the market share or are you going to shut your piehole on your own?

I see you didn't quite get my post. Windows is very backwards-compatible. MAC OS and Linux are not. That's what I meant about the software, you dimweed. Of course it slipped right past you because you don't know shit. As for your post about the corporations...

... even your own girlfriend The Egg is PWNing you without attempting to do so, and he does it with me.

Some corporations may switch to Linux NOT because it is so good, but because it is FREE, you moron. It affects their bottom line. Do they not exist specifically to earn profits? Do they not do this by keeping their expenses down? Dumb cocksucker.

*ROTFLMAO* Windows 7 is nothing more than Windows Vista upgraded, you dumb shit. The 'open-source community' had nothing to do with Windows. Zero. Nada. You DO realise Windows is NOT an open-source OS, yes? Neither is MAC OS.

I took another look at the Linux software available and I am STILL laughing. As an experiment, myself as a user of the world's most common business software, Microsoft Office, I decided to try Open Office, who claim they are compatible with Microsoft Office. No, they are not, which argues your point about moving editable files between Linux and Windows. Didn't happen.

Yeah, after that, it shows you know little to nothing. You've probably never looked sideways at any Linux distro, either.

You berk.

So says the fool who believes the open-source community had anything to do with Windows 7. Absolutely the stupidest thing I have ever read.

I have tested far more Linux distros than you have, and there is nothing special about them. Many of them would NOT be friendly to the average computer user, which is why no one wants them. Not ONE of the distros saw my printer, but every one of my Windows OSs saw it in a blink.

The bottom line is, Lucy is an unalloyed retard. Engaging him with anything of substance is simply a waste of time. Nothing he contributes is anything other than generic garbage.
 
Seriously, all the megalomania shtick is worth is maybe a chuckle here and there if he'd apply it sparingly and to humorously bizarre subjects. But it's all he does. Just indiscriminate hubris. That's not amusing. It's not even annoying. It's just boring. And boring isn't trolling.

Hm, that's peculiar. I've been using OO and MO simultaneously on a daily basis for over a year now, and I've never encountered any problems with compatibility - as long as you make sure your Open Office files are saved as MO ones. *shrugs*

Well, as those of us who actually possess an IQ over 100 know, not only OpenOffice but also Apple's iWork productivity apps will save their output in MS Office compatible formats. I regularly produce flawless MS Word .doc formatted documents from the iOS version of Pages on my iPad.

Lucy's retardation on this particular subject takes the form of arguing that, simultaneously, Microsoft Office is SOOOOOO popular that everyone demands their documents in its formats -- and yet, that no one except Microsoft in the software publishing world knows this and enables their software to output files in these formats.

Why does he commit this error in critical thinking that even a 10 year old kid wouldn't make? Because he is fucking retarded.

It was being suggested that Microsoft OPENED THEIR SOURCE CODE TO THE PUBLIC, allowed people to make changes a la Linux, then adopted the same. I clearly stated no such thing happened, and you have just proven me correct. Instead, you claim Microsoft stole source code from the open-source community. So what? It is 'open source', you dumb fuck, but do NOT suggest said people had open access to the Windows code. Learn about APIs before you open your yap.

Sweetie, look at the files again, then come back to me.

However, OpenOffice does not have complete support for the new file formats created by Office 2007 and 2010. In our tests, simply saving an Office 2003 document into the Office 2010 file format and then opening that same document in OpenOffice resulted in a substantial loss of formatting fidelity, particularly from Word to Writer. As these file formats are fairly new, one would expect the OpenOffice community to improve their support over time. OpenOffice also cannot save to the new 2007 and 2010 file formats; however, as Office 2010 is able to open the Office 2003 file formats, this is not a substantial limitation.

Both applications now provide the ability to export any file to an un-editable PDF format – ensuring that viewers can see the document exactly as you intended.

OpenOffice can open and save Office 2003 documents with a high degree of fidelity, with only a few exceptions. If you’ve created Word documents that make extensive use of columns, header formats, and embedded images, the file is likely to show up in Writer with minor formatting issues that have to be adjusted by hand. This isn’t likely to be prohibitive for a document or two, but could be a time consuming for a whole library of templates and collateral.

Fucking morons. I know far more about this shit than all of you combined. I will not tell you why, so just shut the fuck up. PWNed!

I suffer, being around morons like the rest of you.

Ah, I see where you're coming from. I've absolutely no experience with the Office 2010, so I can't argue about that.
But still, as I said - I have converted many docs from OO to Office 2007 and back, never had any problems. Word 2003? Haven't used that one in a while.

FWIW, When I work with docs with extensive layout, tables and illustrations, I do prefer Office over OO, if only for the drafts. I usually switch to Adobe InDesign pretty fast, anyway, so that makes conversion and stuff obsolete in any case.
