| 1449093 | 2018-05-07 06:42:00 | Its obvious B.M didn't read the complete article, if he did he would have stopped. :D If you believe Linux is perfect and it has no problems, please close this page. :lol: Are you really serious B.M Both Linux and Microsoft have the same responsibility to provide drivers, or endeavour to provide drivers, for various equipment. What a joke, Why should ANY OS Manufacture make drivers for EVERY piece of hardware in the world. NO ONE does. Its upto the manufactures of the equipment to make drivers for Various OS's ( which ever it is). Using your car examples as you seem so fond of doing - Why don't Car manufactures make tyres or petrol for every car they manufacture ? You know very well they don't. You say Linux provide drivers --- REALLY - how's that Web cam going you tried for ages to get going -- OH Right - NO LINUX drivers-- Why NOT?? |

| 1449094 | 2018-05-07 06:57:00 | Why are there so many Linux devotees on here when it has such a very small market of the DESKTOP and LAPTOP world. Why do so many PC World members stick with Windows 7, which is going nowhere. Get with the program and start being at the leading edge? |

| 1449095 | 2018-05-07 07:18:00 | Some words of Wisdom from Linus Torvalds back in 2009 ( Some will have to look up who this is) . There are 'extremists' in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don?t call what I do 'free software' any more . I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred . " Torvald also defends Microsoft against those who argue that Microsoft's code release was only done for selfish reasons . In fact, he says, all open source code is written for selfish reasons, so Microsoft's motives are no different than anyone's in the open source community . "I agree that it's driven by selfish reasons, but that’s how all open source code gets written! We all 'scratch our own itches' . It's why I started Linux, it's why I started git, and it’s why I am still involved . It's the reason for everybody to end up in open source, to some degree . So complaining about the fact that Microsoft picked a selfish area to work on is just silly . Of course they picked an area that helps them . That’s the point of open source -- the ability to make the code better for your particular needs, whoever the 'your' in question happens to be . Does anybody complain when hardware companies write drivers for the hardware they produce? No . That would be crazy . Does anybody complain when IBM funds all the POWER development, and works on enterprise features because they sell into the enterprise? No . That would be insane . So the people who complain about Microsoft writing drivers for their own virtualization model should take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves why they are being so hypocritical . " |

| 1449096 | 2018-05-07 22:29:00 | Both Linux and Microsoft have the same responsibility to provide drivers, or endeavour to provide drivers, for various equipment. Linux has met their obligation, Microsoft haven’t. BS. Plenty of hardware doesnt have Lin drivers . IF Linux had a responsibility to provide drivers , who is going to pay for the salaries of the team that has write all those drivers, and buy the hardware to test each driver . I dont really think anyone expects Lin to have the range of drivers that MS does :) And if the MANUFACTURERS of hardware care so little about the stuff they sell, why should MS be expected to write the drivers for them, and keep those drivers updated Issues with drivers, blame the manufacturers who made the damn thing . Its like making a electric car with no way to charge the thing up . Issues with drivers, by a brand that do make the effort to have WORKING bug free drivers & keep them updated |
