People will have to catch on to that sooner or later. ajm51987 Posted at 2:04 am on Mar. 22, 2007 Lots of people make money off Linux and Linux accessories... Psychade Posted at 11:51 pm on Mar. 21, 2007 Quote: from 420Mike at 3:55 am on Mar. 13, 2007 I think Apple has a long way's to go.  Especially in the business world, and schools (for the most part). I heard about "Linus" or whatever? Not sure what thats all about. I think Microsoft will be top dog for a while still. Linux is an Operating System, not a company. And it's open source, so they can't make money off it. Though I agree, Apple has a way to go. mephisto mortis Posted at 8:45 pm on Mar. 21, 2007 Quote: from deadhead170 at 3:30 pm on Mar. 21, 2007 if microsoft does not completly reengineer their next os there not going to be on top. dos is over-rated period. Actual dos hasn't been used for quite a few years..... deadhead170 Posted at 12:30 pm on Mar. 21, 2007 if microsoft does not completly reengineer their next os there not going to be on top. dos is over-rated period. ajm51987 Posted at 8:51 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 I have no doubt that linux is posed to take some market share. I'm a happy linux user myself. The fact of the matter is, Microsoft has done a lot of things right, and they will be the dominate OS vendor for the foreseeable future. However, like I said, I think a lot of where they will be going hinges on Windows Vienna, the next installment due out. ViTALiTY Posted at 8:46 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 im less than 10 years linux will dominate over 50% of the market ajm51987 Posted at 8:44 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 The complete monopoly they had. Hahah, you are priceless sir. I also like your debian comment, nobody gives a hunk of shit what OS you use. deadhead170 Posted at 4:44 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 You mean the complete monopoly they had? your right i could'nt be bothered with microsoft, im a debian user ajm51987 Posted at 1:58 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 No, the reason Windows is so prevalent is because of licensing. Try to learn a little about what you're talking about. deadhead170 Posted at 1:17 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 post deleted rchaneberg Posted at 11:27 am on Mar. 20, 2007 That depends on whether Apple can actually acquire some market share, and start marketing to low and medium end users. Velico112 Posted at 10:59 am on Mar. 20, 2007 They probably will lead for a long time. ajm51987 Posted at 8:02 pm on Mar. 19, 2007 Quote: from deadhead170 at 5:32 pm on Mar. 19, 2007 Really? what makes you think that -_- Microsoft is the leader because they have the most user-friendly environments in thier products.
