1. Comment - The Truth About Windows Genuine Advantage

   (May 16, 2005 - 3:14 PM)

   What should I say, I just read the comments here and the more rabid Linuxists made me giggle.
   
   Uptime of three years, good point there with the 2.2 kernel and security vulnerabilities :D Better use BSD anyway…
   
   Really now, I’ve been using Linux on and off since what… Debian 2.1 and Mandrake 6 — those Linux 2.0.36 days. And I’ve been a DOS (5.0 and above), Windows user, even a BeOS and QNX one, just to have some variety in my life. It boils down to that I still like Windows more than the rest, and KDE is the single only thing that doesn’t get to me too much that I consider it a threat to the comfort that Windows gives.
   
   Now as for my Windows… I own a very legit copy of Windows XP, I went through activation, and damned if I won’t be bitter if I end up having to buy (for like 30 000 HUF plus 25% tax) a new copy if it chokes on a hardware change; I’ll probably go and find a Corporate Edition somewhere and use my key on it. This whole thing about Genuine Windows bugs me very much; I belong to that OTHER HALF (56% is a very poor rate in my opinion) of people who just DON’T want to go through this dubious little thing, legit Windows or not.
   
   I also agree that Mr. Lazar often said some quite hollow things in this interview and wasn’t too specific…
