When is microsoft going to get some real competition?
Computer shops have windows installed, and thats it. And thats all i see. I've yet to walk into a shop and find computers that consist of linux, or any other OS. Is ther any other OS?
Vista - what a joke. As we go through the last 10 years or so windows gives us a better OS, or so they say. Now we going for Vista, that has premium, basic, medium etc. So microsoft are now going to screw us even more by offereing us the same OS that we have been buying for the last few years, at a much, much higher price. Boy, we really getting screwed.
Linux, i've been introduced to it, and have thrown the bath out with the bath water, or is that the other way around. Anyway, you need lessons on how to use it. Or perhaps, it just takes longer to learn how to use it. I spent about 10hours on it the other day. Thats' 10 hours of high blood pressure & wanting to smash my keyboard. In the end i achieved nothing and got nowhere. But i've kept it on other hdd, i will use it from time to time in order to learn about it.
Its not like windows where its more user friendly, and thats linux's downfall.
Microsfts OS'es have been around for um, 12-15 years or something like that. Imagine having that sort of rule. Great for microsoft, not great for consumers.
Something like 'openoffice' - I dont see why shops dont give this CD away with every PC purchased. Why not?
Perhaps there is some business type arrangement with ALL PC stores will only have windows? I sometimes see PC shops give you as part of a bundle with a PC,microsoft office, which why cant they give you OPenoffice?
Rumours somewhere on the net that google could/would make an OS? Jeeze, like, i wish they would.
I mean is vista is 'real' improvement on its previous oSes? Is it value for money?
Linux, i cannot see making any type of significant grounds on capturing the market. i just cant. If they were to make sigficant inroads, it would be to late as i'm sure we will have more competetion soon from someone. (i hope)
Perhaps linuxs' business model is not for mass usage.
Why arent PC shops being more proactive in Linux? And in particular with something like open office, which is great for a small business - and there are plenty of these around. Why does/should joe bloggs hairdressing salon have to go and buy microsoft office?
Anyway, the new manipulative Vista, will be doing just that - its designed to rip you off, whether you buy the gold edition, or the basic. And the other OS choices are............oh yes, nearly forgot, linux.
Just a pity linux aint more user friendly.
