@novrecs wow

Actually you can install Microsoft Chat on Windows xp and even Vista. I’ll probably even work in Windows 7 as well.

haha…just yesterday my Dad yelled for help for his laptop. I’m proud of him though. He’s learning to do a lot of things on his own. People have even been asking him to fix their computers.

Through a virtual box you might be able to run most programs but still not at the same speed available to a machine running only windows. Even then you still have to (legally) but a copy of windows to run the programs you want to use which literally defeats the point of having Linux in the first place.

Telling me to read… haha. I just told you I’ve used quite a few different Linux distributions and lying to people on youtube about the programs Linux can run only makes the Linux userbase look even worse. Now please, stop lying and making yourself look even worse. You can go on the wine hq even and look at what programs they admin WONT work. Some of the programs that windows can run may never be able to run in wine, and you know why? Because they are MADE for windows. I like Linux, as I said.

Those companies are not bought by Bill Gates. I seriously had hoped that you would not break down into the low level of fanboy squabbling about this kind of a thing, but I guess I was wrong. Those companies are what keep Microsoft alive. People buy Windows because they know that Windows can handle complicated programs efficiently. Linux could handle the programs efficiently but there isn’t a big enough user base for it to be profitable. Not everything will run in Linux, don’t even bother trying.

Now you’re just plain lying to yourself. I know that Linux is open source and I completely support that, but there are still some things Windows beats Linux in. Linux may be the future but as of now it is not the present. It doesn’t have the support of the major professional development companies such as Adobe or Autodesk for example, and, until those companies realize that there is money in the Linux market Linux will continue to stay where it is.

Linux will only be the future once it can capture the software market. As of right now millions still use windows because it has more software availability. I used many Linux distributions, so don’t call me biased.
