I've been a Technology Support Specialist for years; I've used, mastered, and programed for every OS since win 95 and mac OS 6. I say that to say this... This video made me cry.
It so true. I'm going to have to dust off my commodore 64 and remember what I was like when things never froze... things just took forever to load.

Or because with Linux, everyone can see the source code so security holes get patched shut about as quick as they're found. Or because with a completely transparent security system it can just worry about security, rather than making it completely black box. Or because the average Linux user is a lot more tech savvy than your average Windows user so they wouldn't be as likely to pick them up.blue_guy said:

Yeah. I'm going to join the "It's true" bandwagon. I own a Windows laptop, and after two blue screens, I should be worried even more.
Pretty much the truth of it isn't it?castlewise said:
But, these days, even game consoles and mobile phones can crash. Which demonstrates that even the most restricted of devices still needs a lot of work to get it to function flawlessly.
It's a matter of complexity. Though to a degree, one thing that's become apparent (especially for windows) is that the errors become less severe as the OS becomes better.
For instance, where an outright system crash used to be normal several times a day on windows, now you're more likely to get individual programs crashing.
But, failure is still failure, in the end.
That's a great way to summarize almost 30 years of computers in ~3 minutes. The inevitable sequel that comes to mind: Every Game Console Sucks.
get a console
because it's true, every OS sucks.
if you're talking about for work then?
Apple - good for MultiMedia
Windows - good for corporate/professional business
Linux - as the video said "for elitist nerds" XD if you know how to run it, you may have no life

Or because getting any stupid program to work consistently in Linux practically requires rewriting the kernel, so the idea of getting a virus to run on any percentage of Linux boxes is a joke. Linux isn't an OS, it's an unpaid job.Danzaivar said:Or because with Linux, everyone can see the source code so security holes get patched shut about as quick as they're found.

In reference to that previous post there, Macs at this point actually tend to be more likely to have viruses than Windows PCs. This is because there are now quite a few Mac viruses out there, but the sort of person that buys a Mac still believes all that crap about them being virus free despite the fact that their computer is crashing and hanging up way more than it did when they first got it, so they refuse to buy an anti-virus. It's pretty hilarious, really.
I like Windows, it never crashed on my new PC, there is plenty of software for it and everyone knows how to use it. Its not the best but besides that there is just Apples OSX for which you have to pay with your soul. And everything else besides that is built on top of the Kernel, I wouldnt be surprised if one day scientists would discover that human brain works on top of the Kernel. Anyway even for the most simple Linux distro like Ubuntu you need to be a computer scientist to know how to work with it properly, its hard to setup (even though its much more opened then Windows or OSX) and it has more bugs then rain forest.
Because we've never heard of any problems with the Wii, Xbox or the Playstation...Azaraxzealot said:
Good video, great song. I like the idea of having computers be girls, just owning matt.
Poor matt. That guy never gets a break. His roommate uses his toothpaste, his friends sell his Transformers collectibles, and now girls are really computer representations that always fail him.
