No wonder why there's no PRIVACY in that operating system, and the end-user of the OS has to buy anti-virus software, privacy software, software firewalls, and every other form of electronic data protection. And also run so many updates and scans of the computer system on a regular frequent basis, it's because the Operating System is ALL WINDOWS! There are NO WALLS FOR PROTECTION! :) Windows “Life without Walls”

Quite so. Without a wall there is no need for a fence!

In the world without walls who needs windows. In the life without walls there is NO windows. By definition a WINDOW IS just little bit more than a HOLE ON THE WALL. Then "Millions of billions uses Windows" as a message just ... well according to Kant (You remember Immanuel no?) has no significance when we thought as human beings. The fact that billions uses windows is no proof of anything at all, especially not that that one poor hibernated freak from 70-est that still do gaming on his Atari 512 ST is somehow wrong. Or Linux or Mac users or ... whatever. 99% of the people living on this planet are not extremely beautiful and smart and well educated and has decent job. Does that makes those 1% who are extremely beautiful, smart, educated and well employed all in same time somehow inferior or less worthy. Numbers simply has no significance in the realm of human thought. I just like to see Windows zealots whining 'bout Mac's superior advertising. Man the only thing that still keeps windows on our desktops is MS advertising money. P.S. Do not judge me by my English please. In my native language there is no article nor Xs and Ys. I'm just polite and write on language you understand. “Life without walls” as a campaign motto just shows how stupid are MS advertising strategist. In the world without walls who needs windows.

If you're a braindead mouthbreather, sure. Linux is _the_ OS for people who want absolute control over their computer and how it works. It's unmatched as a server and in portability. If you insist on a flashy GUI, you have 4 or 5 major choices. Combined with compiz-fusion, you can get all the eye-candy you want (that Windows nor Mac have) and use less resources than both. Of course, you have to have the desire (and ability) to learn technical things. That just means Linux isn't for idiots. The best part is that it's free. >> At least Linux users say “just load Linux.” Even though Linux is the worst out of all three.

How long has this penguin ad been out? A month? I first heard of it yesterday. This should extinguish any pity people feel for MS in its decline. helios: The penguin hijacking is obviously lost on Jan for one.
