    Give me a break. This is a beta version of Linux. How about trying to help out the developers and give constructive advice how to make it better.

  2. Comment - Opponents of Windows 7 IE plan label browser ballot screen a 'threat'

    Full employment for attorneys! ! ! ! It appears that, ECIS attorney, Thomas Vinje, knows what the computer users wants for a web browser. Mr Vinje should tell Microsoft and everyone in his country what is best for them. Apparently, people in his country are not savy enough to make a internet browser selection. Good thing the government is there to protect them from Microsoft.

  3. Comment - Europe: Microsoft's IE move gives Windows users no choice

    The only valid EU solution should be that the EU will now be the computer retailer of choice for all of their citizens. In that way they can make all of the correct decisions regarding hardware and software any citizen will ever need. The all knowing EU will decide what they their citizens are allowed to purchase and what their needs and wants are.

    Everyone is missing the point. With Linux, you have a choice of operating systems for your computer. In the early days of personal computers, every computer manufacturer developed their own version of an operating system. Then IBM came along and we had IBM standard hardware and a IBM standard OS with CP/M then DOS and then Windows. Apple also developed their own OS and their own hardware.

    I agree, Linux is not as easy to use as the Apple OS or Microsoft Windows. I guess most of us forgot that we had to learn how to use Windows and Apples' OS. We have been learning how to use these OS for over 25 years.

    Maybe, if many of us tried to use the Linux OS. You would see that it is indeed similar to the Apple OS and the Windows OS. All it would cost one is to download and burn a CD or DVD and boot up a Live CD of Live DVD to learn the Linux OS.

    I use Windows on my primary computer. Although I have been following the development of Linux and using Live CD or DVD follow along with the current Linix distributions. If you have never considered Linux, I would invite you to down load Linux Mint (or any other Linux distribution) and boot your computer up with the Mint Live CD. You may be surprised that a free OS has so many features that are similar to Windows and the Apple OS.

    Also, you should consider that maybe if Linux attracted more users (more market share), maybe Microsoft would be make their Windows operating system a better product. It is always nice to have competition among operating system manufacturers.
