Oi, myötähäpeää....

Toisaalta hauskin postaus pitkiin aikoihin, toisaalta surullisinta luettavaa ikinä.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

Kaikkein surullisinta tossa on se, miten jotkut idiootit unohtaa kokonaan sen faktan että Windows on vielä melko uusi käyttis, ja konetta on vuosikausia pystytty pyörittämään täysipainoisesti aivan ilman Windowsia...

Onhan esim. Unix -koneita edelleen paljon käytössä ympäri maailmaa.

No applen toosathan pyöri pitkään ennen vindoussia, joka nousi suuren maailman tietosuuteen kunnolla vasta 90-luvulla.
Moni joka omia servereitä rakentaa, nauraa makiasti windows-ympäristölle.

I've been using Ubuntu ever since my boyfriend installed it on my laptop. All it cost me was a blow job.

Maailman halvin bloukkari.   Olisi tyttö vaatinut vaikka gentoota.

Vaikken mikään tietokone velho ole niin
