I love the comments at the end of the article:

1 What the article misses is the real reason that piracy is down
50% from Windows XP levels, which is that NOBODY WANTS VISTA..
How ironic that by writing code that nobody wants, they have less
people stealing it. Perhaps they should concentrate on development
in other areas....

I'm pretty sure the "Yugo" automobile had a pretty low theft rate as
well...


2 I moved to Linux when 30 gig was not enough to run Windows XP.
What took 26 gig within Windows now takes less than 4. I am 100%
MS free and loving every minute of it.

30 gig wasn't enough??? One of my machines is running XP Pro, Office 2000
Pro and plenty of other software with a 20gb HD. It's extremely fast and
trouble free.

If 30 gb wasn't enough for you, there must have been other issues with the
machine.

What I love is your comments on any computer OS, when it is obviously
apparent you know nothing about any of them.

Harry you are a laugh a minute. Are you going to claim that you are a
systems programmer and you have specific and exact knowledge about
operating system design, implementation and maintenance?

Even though I have been in the computer field for 25 years working in
operating system maintenance and applications design, implementation and
maintenance I would never claim to know all of the intricacies of
operating systems.

I have 47 programs, and their supporting libraries installed on
my Nokia N800 Maemo Linux internet tablet, including the Garnet
Palm OS virtual machine (3.9M) and its Palm OS programs. They
all occupy 25.6MB leaving 68MB of free internal memory for more.
This doesn't count anything on the two 8GB SD cards I installed.

Maemo Linux (Debian) memory usage is tiny!

More probably, you don't know enough to change from one OS to another.

Well, Bertie, I never did say I knew "all the intricacies of an OS," did I?

You should enroll in Montgomery County College and take a course in
reading for content.

LOL, no it is very easy to do, but if I was going to update a computer,
I would do a clean install, which can be a pain, just saving all the
files i want to keep.
