Windows Vista Aero Vs Linux Ubuntu Beryl

[Blodrast]

Windows is better for the normal user. Costs real money though.

Linux is good for people who like command lines. And I know lots of people who do, worryingly.

... and, if you had watched that clip, you would have noticed it was about anything BUT command lines. You DID notice that it showed a kick-ass super-eye-candy GUI for a linux distro, right ?
If you like command line, you can have that.
If you like super-eye-candy, you can have that (better than windows, imo - but ymmv).

If you want a 2G GUI, you can have that. If you want a 100k GUI, you can have that. Hell, you can have the source code, and tweak it yourself (and it's about as complicated as it is to edit some of the MTW/RTW/M2TW's text files).

People's tastes are different, 'cause people are different. With linux, you can pick and choose whatever suits your fancy. With windows, you get what Gates shoves down your throat, like it or not.

Yes, I know. Linux doesn't run games.


edit: Why is it worrying you that people like command lines ?
And the fact that linux is all about command lines, I'm afraid is a stereotype that's been perpetuated by the people who saw their last version of a linux distro around 1994...
