| 1274900 | 2012-05-16 05:50:00 | I know, Tony, but they have at least 2 forks now, and as you have rightly observed Linux has the habit of forking as soon as 2 developers disagree on the best way forward. Keeping them together and pulling in one direction would have ensured it's success. (both Puppy and Linux in general) But that is a little like trying to herd cats. Windows appears to be getting a few issues too. www.osnews.com So you might not want to 'upgrade' to that nonsense either (I know I will be reluctant) |

| 1274902 | 2012-05-16 08:07:00 | Well that's good then, I hope you enjoy switching paradigms every time you want a non-Metro application. Others don't like that, including me, but, then, I'm still harbouring a grudge against Microsoft. Vista Ultimate! need I say more :( What a total ripoff that was. |

| 1274903 | 2012-05-16 10:23:00 | I think a lot of this thread is really just opinion (and rather pointless). If you use MS Windows you have either intentionally or subconsciously spent lots of time learning what the terminology is and what makes "it tick". You cannot expect just to start using Linux and everything just will make sense and work any more than someone who has been a Linux user for years would be able to understand Windows. An OS that simple would probably be useless. | johnd (85) | ||

| 1274905 | 2012-05-16 11:45:00 | Well that's good then, I hope you enjoy switching paradigms every time you want a non-Metro application.I think you misunderstand me. I almost certainly won't be changing to Windows 8. | Tony (4941) | ||

As I have said at least twice before in this thread, I think Linux is probably great once you get into it. It is my opinion that the various distros could make it a lot easier than they do - although, once again, they are much better at it than they used to be. | Tony (4941) | ||
