I heard about "Linus" or whatever? Not sure what thats all about. I think Microsoft will be top dog for a while still. -- Posted by never mind at 4:00 am on Mar. 13, 2007 not to long, vista anin't amazing.... -- Posted by I am still waiting at 4:31 am on Mar. 13, 2007 maybe 10 years? -- Posted by AtomicCactus at 6:18 pm on Mar. 13, 2007 FOREVER Apple is a bit too hippy for mainstream businesses and educational institutions to adopt at the moment. Quote: from never mind at 6:00 am on Mar. 13, 2007 not to long, vista anin't amazing.... Vista is just a minor stepping stone to their next huge product.  They said Vista is more evolutionary than revolutionary.  Windows Vienna will be totally different.   "But they said that about Vista..." Heh. -- Posted by techgeek at 8:21 am on Mar. 14, 2007 Not sure...maybe soon with the release of Apple's OS X Leopard and iPhone...MICROSOFT'S GOING DOWN!!! -- Posted by Macropiper at 12:45 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Quote: from AtomicCactus at 11:18 am on Mar. 14, 2007 FOREVER Apple is a bit too hippy for mainstream businesses and educational institutions to adopt at the moment. Uhh, no, its quite big in the graphics design and web development industry, and its also fairly big in the education sector. I would make some comment about linux, but I cant see it becoming particularly mainstream for a few more years. -- Posted by ajm51987 at 4:45 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 We'll see what happens with Windows Vienna, they have said you will work with your computer in a completely different manner then ever before, we'll see. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 6:05 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Quote: from 420Mike at 5:55 am on Mar. 13, 2007 I heard about "Linus" or whatever? Not sure what thats all about. I think Microsoft will be top dog for a while still. The name is Linux.  And there are so many glorious distros.   -- Posted by jkm2008 at 6:23 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Quote: from AtomicCactus at 6:18 pm on Mar. 13, 2007 FOREVER . I agree 100% -- Posted by ajm51987 at 7:10 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Just like Ford and Enron huh? -- Posted by espresso8097 at 7:24 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Quote: from ajm51987 at 9:10 pm on Mar. 14, 2007 Just like Ford and Enron huh? Enron was great until it toppled! -- Posted by monagold at 11:53 pm on Mar. 15, 2007 The management of Enron was all wrong. -- Posted by deadhead170 at 5:32 pm on Mar. 19, 2007 deleted -- Posted by ajm51987 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. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... HAHAHAHAHAHA Thanks....for...ahahahaha, the laugh....kid. hahaha, most user-friendly interface, hahahahah. -- Posted by Velico112 at 10:59 am on Mar. 20, 2007 They probably will lead for a long time. -- Posted by rchaneberg 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. -- Posted by deadhead170 at 1:17 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 post deleted -- Posted by ajm51987 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. -- Posted by deadhead170 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 -- Posted by ajm51987 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. -- Posted by ViTALiTY at 8:46 pm on Mar. 20, 2007 im less than 10 years linux will dominate over 50% of the market -- Posted by ajm51987 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. -- Posted by deadhead170 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. -- Posted by mephisto mortis 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.

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. Pages: 1 2  Next
