LOL, evil. :)

M$ can kiss my fcuking ass (and say i know how i spelt it)
You know, over 90% of people run it everyday, they browse internet, run applications, play games are never thought about changing it to other system.
And I'm a bit amused that you discovered Windows in 2011 :)
Welome to the crap that they call Windows... Personally you would be better off with Ubuntu or if your a pureist install Debian. I'm on the virge of binning Windows too. I duel boot xp and Ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, but my HTPC is to shortly have Ubuntu added to it too once I get the time... If you really must still run Windows programs under Ubuntu, you can use Wine emulator which allows Ubuntu to run Windows programs (and which will nicely annoy M$).
:lol:
switch it back to classic mode ? not like you have to use all the new stuff because it's there
I used windows right back to 3.11 and its always been crap and i always had a dual boot but the dual boot ends tonight. I have had years of **** from windows like slowing down even after cleaning up the hard drive and such and the amount of virus's you get is stupid. Yes i have a lot of games and such for it but i cant use it any more it does my head in. I have a console for the games anyway so that's no big thing for me.
:)
Windows 8 is going to be the worst of the bunch from what i have been reading about it. Glad I wont be getting it.
Just burning the new version of zorin os now and doing a nice fresh install. Its linux mint 10 but with some major fixes and some nice eye candy.
That goes hand in hand with your home made laptop desk...
Yes, that was my netbook stand I made out of wood, with a "few" photoshopped extras... I should patent that one :lol:
From what I've read it's a top notch distro without all the crap that Ubuntu pulled in their latest releases (which might explain its current #1 spot on DistroWatch 'popularity contest').
Personally I'm on Debian (stable) these days, problem with lesser used distro's like Zorin OS is that there's often just a few people working to keep it up with security updates etc. If you just pick it for eye candy, might as well pick the distro it derives from, and slap some nice themes onto that.
right now with the old linux mint 10 and all the stuff added from Zorin OS i get a really good system but then i should with a intel core 2 quad and 4gb of ram along with a radeon 5770
Don't like Windows? Fine. But please avoid such fanboyism - you're getting nowhere with it.
By the way, 90% of the software I use both at home and work is unavailable for (any) Linux, and the alternatives available aren't good enough for my needs. Therefore I absolutely see no use for messing with Gnome, KDE and all that stuff. That does not mean it is rubbish of course - but I can't do almost anything with it.
Do you suggest visiting dirty websites? :)
And I agree, it all depends what you do with your system. For example, for the last 6 years I never had to reinstall the system, but I know people who have to do it every three months :) I'm just not touching things that I'm not supposed to touch.
I'm using XP, so I don't have personal experience but I have heard about "Are you sure that you want to...?" harassing in later versions, but it has to be possible to turn off :)
If you don't like Windows, don't use Windows. If you don't like Linux, don't use Linux. If you don't like OS X, don't use OS X. If you don't like OS/2 don't use OS/2. If you don't like Solaris, don't use Solaris. If you don't like RSX-11, don't use RSX-11. If you don't like CP/M don't use CP/M. If you don't like QNX don't use QNX. If you don't like Plan 9 from Bell Labs, don't use Plan 9 from Bell Labs...
There, that should solve everyone's problems.
Unless you are a masochist then go ahead and use them.
Indeed, if you just like having something to rant about on forums then use your least favourite operating system. It should provide literally minutes of entertainment for everyone else reading about how much you hate using a particular operating system.
I was waiting for it on dragons den.. but so far it hasn't made an appearance
