"the only reason to why you dont think there's less software for linux is that you'll never find it in ads or stores"
I dont think theres less software to Linux than Windows. I DO think theres less. And the software that IS there is mostly made by amateurs or semiprofessionals.
If you knew, I would have to kill you...

no i don't... i believe the guys at clickteam think it's a useful piece of software, and it is, BUT if clickteam didn't make any money, they would have to close down; they depend on money, they depend on that the software they make is bought because they need the money to keep going
it is illegal if it's GNU licensed (and everything is)
the world of linux (and any UNIX) is the internet - the real world

You overclocked my processor! GLAVEN!
Linux eh...yes...stability is good...I remember the DOS days.
Windows 98 does have issues, but i'm not enough of a computer person to want or need something else...Muggus's two cents!
If it's not broken, why fix it!

linux has a pretty damn flashy style to it overall, its prettier than windows... and lets be honest, who here actually likes bill gates??? if linux could run anything that windows could of course i would use it...but it can't so at the moment windows is BETTER than linux BUT, i reckon in say, 5 or 10 years time...LINUX and its open source idea could possibly overthrow microsoft...think about it...any competition in the past bill gates has just baught out, but he cant buy out linux.
no ones like micro$oft, their money hungry bastards...BRING ON THE FREE OS, FREE OFFICE TOOLS, FREE...other stuff etc etc.
it should be noted tho...i have win98...and i hear xp is 1000 times better...my computer is SHIT...yep

you're all talking like windows can run anything and that makes it superior to linux, but windows can't run anything that's not made for running under windows so they're equal on that point (linux is really better actually cos it can run stuff made for other UNIX:es like BSD)

Sure, lets all work for free in the future!!! No more paying if I want a car, I just ask the car maker for one. And of course I will build houses for free, anyone want a new house???

Let me put it this way: If you walk into a store and grab some random software, their is a 95 percent chance that its for Windows. Even most Linux people dual boot with Windows because they pretty much have too.

listen aali mate, bill gates has enough money to end world hunger for like, 50 years or something and he still feels the need to re-release the same old buggy software with a different name for unfairly high prices...look at microsoft office, isn't that like $300???

If world hunger could be stopped by money alone, it probably allready would have been.
Bill Gates has a lot of money and his products are not cheap, no, but the latest Windows versions are nice...

Ok, people can sell programs for linux, technically, the program IS their code, so they can copywrite it and sell it, however, if it deals with the main kernel (changing or modifying) then it cannot be sold as the kernel is OPEN SOURCE. Of course, nowadays some companies are not charging for linux but the actual download (I'm looking in your direction Red Hat). While linux does have far fewer programs I do find some to be invaluable, like the one that lets me watch DVD's through my CD-Rom That's a damned useful program, and all the base unix networking commands are also extremely helpful, but now I'm just rambling on so I'll stop.

Most Office application suites are that expensive or very close.
