Windows 7 high on system resources

[*LTD*]

LOL pure FUD

You're comparing OS X . . (yes, that's OS X) to some Linux distro.

LOL use your head.

Linux is FREE, can run on any hardware (well, if you're lucky), and it's still barely at what, 1%? After years and years. Did I mention it's free?

"Let's make our GUI more Ubuntu-like!" Yeah, I'm sure that's what the competition's been focusing on all this time.

Linux was never meant to be a mainstream desktop OS. And it shows. It's not FUD, it's common knowledge.

Many Linux distro's have a wide range of downloadable drivers. And Ubuntu has even picked up the ability to use Windows drivers.

Your living in the past Mr *LTD*. Linux has come a hell of a long way. It still isn't ready for commercial use (as in, pre-installed on home PC's and Laptops), but it is certainly getting there.

I think that this discussion has been turned into nonsense
It's subjective what you find bad, good or best.

I use Mac Os, windows XP, win 7 and ubuntu.
They all have their pros and cons.
I find Mac Os needing a lot less maintenance, ubuntu is free and works very well on my aging Pentium4, and windows still have a lot more applications to choose amongst.

You post is an example of a growing problem--certainly in the USA and, I would guess, the World. Your assertion to the contrary notwithstanding, all opinions are not equal. Some opinions--many, in fact--are absolutely wrong. Others are just plain foolish. There is an old saying:

If 60,000 Frenchman say a foolish thing, then it is still a foolish thing.

IMHO, it is fine to to a Windows fan. It is fine to be a Linux fan. It is fine to be a Mac fan. However, it is foolish to ignore the strong points and weak points of each OS. None are perfect. Whichever OS we use on whichever hardware, we must choose and understand the limitations [and strength] of our choice. That's called being a grownup.

One of the strengths of the Mac is that it is a computer, not a hobby. Buy it, take it out of the box, make the necessary connections, and get to work. No worries about malware, maintenance, or fear of updates and upgrades.

Unfortunately, it appears that a few childish Windows fans can't find enough excitement on sites devoted to their favorite OS. I growing hoard are now invading this and other Mac fansites in futile attempts to slow the momentum of the Mac and other Apple products. It would be funny if it weren't so annoying.

a grownup like you?, organized so many words that has nothing to do with the topic?

for the OP, this "study" by a non-existed company "Devil Mountain", operated by a single blogger, who apparently uses double ID on infoworld (and been let go) and has zero privacy concerns for the data he collected from his victims, has been brutally debunked by slashdot, zdnet, arstechnica,

lets just say, move on, from this none-issue.

Big talk from someone who always posts screenshots from his Windows computer.
