[News] Windows Needs to Be More Like GNU/Linux

[KDE] A kute little story

,----[ Quote ]
| Not bad for a Windows guy who'd never even logged into a linux
| machine before. His comments? "Everything was exactly where I
| expected it to be. I just went to the applications menu, clicked
| on 'system settings' and set the IP." He was impressed by how
| obvious and simple it all was and was very happy that he could
| get what he needed done himself when it came to crunch time.

Windows by necessity: making MS-Windows more like GNU/Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| But, if you must use MS-Windows, there is a way to make it a
| tolerable operating system. Just make it more like GNU/Linux.
| 
| Unfortunately, I must use MS-Windows at work. Coding PostgreSQL
| applications on GNU/Linux takes up most of my work responsibilities,
| but occasionally, I have to code C# clients on MS-Windows. I feel a
| little dirty every time I do. It's not even that I despise Microsoft
| for its dirty tricks and outright lying. I just hate using a system I
| can't control.
