1. Comment - Microsoft: Vista Most Secure OS Ever

   (Jun 15, 2006 - 10:36 PM)

   Actually I would say that windows has 90% market share because it has been distributed on every brand name computer sold for the last 20 odd years.
   
   I purchased a laptop not long back and guess what I could not buy it without windows even though I don't use it. The Microsoft licence agreement said if I did not agree to the terms of the license agreement then to return it for a full refund but guess what the laptop had a license agreement that said the laptop and software where a bundled package and you could not return individual components only the complete package.
   
   Now if people that don't use or want windows has to buy it on a new laptop then i'd say that people who don't know nothing are going to end up with it too wouldn't you say?
   
   as for drivers in windows i helped a freind reinstall windows xp on a computer and guess what they lost their motherboard disk that had the sound drivers. I downloaded about 12 - 15 different drivers for the same chipset sound card before the sound card worked a couple even crashed the computer and every sound driver install required a reboot.
   
   In linux just lspci and find out what sound chipset is being used then modprobe chipsetdriver and away you go no reboots no searching all good.
   
   if the drivers are not included with windows and you loose the driver disk then windows is a nightmare linux not so.
