How is a punch upgrading what I already have? They're not forcing us to go to

I think the previous poster concluded that win7 - win10 constitutes a

In 1961, 87-year-old Harry Meadows, a resident at the Haslemere home for the elderly in Great Yarmouth, England, achieved late-in-life notoriety when he accidentally killed another 3 residents of his care home by dressing up as the grim reaper and peering through the residents' lounge window whilst holding a scythe.

The year before Harry's performance, another resident of the same home, the then 81-year-old Gladys Elton, for reasons best known to herself, had conceived the idea of performing a striptease for her fellow residents of the home; unfortunately such was the effect of Elton's performance that it caused the death of one resident by way of a cardiac arrest and the treatment for shock of five other residents.

The real funny thing is that most Linux Geeks also / still have to run
Windows or Windows apps under WINE or Windows VM's (that they think
doesn't count) but very few Windows users just *have* to run Linux for
anything! ;-)

I'm one of the few and used Gparted on a LiveDVD earlier tonight on a
HP micro-server I'm reinstalling WHS 2011 on for a mate.

Linux makes a good tool, it's great in my TV and router and 'servers'
.... but even Linus himself admits it's failed to make muster on
desktops (and probably never will now).

Not that 99.99% of Windows, Mac or Android users would care as they
have never even heard of Linux! ;-)

But on a more positive note, Linux *is* getting better and if you only
have very basic needs, are lucky, or are a programmer / geek, then
Linux can be a useable everyday OS for many.

Cheers, T i m

The world is full of claims.

That prediction has become true.

Only if you're a pedantic ****wit.

Perhaps Mr Blunt Sword can tell us what the "major hurdle" is that has
been passed.

PS - Note to Bluntie: if you quote technical or scientific stuff from a
****bag "Elvis seen on Mars" website you must expect derision.

I expected discussion, perhaps I should have chosen a group with more intelligence.

Whether 'popular' is quite the right word I'm not sure! :-)

It may be the most ubiquitous but that doesn't necessarily make it the
most popular.

People are free to change.

An UPGRADE to IMPROVE your OS is not the same as crabs.

Crabs are very common, too.

But we choose our OS.

That's because you're a ****ing useless luddite. Why would you not

a FREE upgrade to a better OS?

Who told you it was better? Microsft?

Bless!

No, I find it easier to use.

Well thats true. it is designed for simpletons.

No one with intelligence uses it.

The advertisements for it make that abundantly clear

No, you're referring to MacOS.

No, that's for stupid rich people.

MacOS is free.

No, it isn't. You need to spend at least £400 on a computer to get it.

Funny, I've built quite a few PCs running it, Apple got no money from me
whatsoever.

Ah. So you are a criminal as well?
