However if you have an existing computer that isn't new, Linux is often the best alternative to getting a new updated OS that has the features of the newest version of windwos, plus more. |

| 830076 | 2009-11-14 10:28:00 | The article I read in one of the mags I have here - Bill Gates made the comment at some event, basically stating, its just another Linux distro , the way the article read - meaning there are so many different types now, whats one more. I doubt MS are to worried somehow. Agreed - Windows is aimed at a totally different market - and they hit it pretty often too. |

| 830079 | 2009-11-14 20:18:00 | The only reason it has 64MB of RAM is because I haven't got enough cash to upgrade it to 128/192MB, then I'd put XP on it. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 830080 | 2009-11-14 23:39:00 | You have a computer - why shackle it with Winderz? It's like putting a v8 into a go cart so you can drag a dead tree around everywhere you go. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
