Windows 10 - Linux Edition

[EphesiaNZ]

Well we have rightly seen Microsoft's new CEO (nutella or whatever is name is) giving praise to Linux recently and to further this assimilation Microsoft introduces OneGet. Yes the company of innovations has announced a software repository tool for the command line - oh, praise innovation

Yes okay, Linux has had software repos since time began - well 1990's anyway. But yes, let's praise Microsoft for their new innovation on the desktop too by the name of virtual desktops . Oh hang on, silly me forgot Linux has had those for about 15 years or so.

Just wonder how many other things Microsoft beg, borrow or steal from Linux before Windows 10 gets released.

What I hear you say, they might offer Windows 10 for free? - Don't be silly that would be just like......Linux.

Not as though it hasn't happened before, that nice Win 7/8/10 desktop look (probably) came from the Linux KDE Desktop project.

 

[Sketcher]

But on Windows, you'll get to pay for all the good ones! And Microsoft can eventually take it a step further by requiring a paid subscription to keep its operating system up to date!

 

[C-Man]

Yeah, that's so not a cheap rip-off.

 

[FreedByte]

It's a rip off, but it ain't cheap

This actually makes me more hopeful that the year of the linux desktop is in the near future.

Windows 10 is a toy. You cannot get any work done.

Unfortunetly, Linux is also starting to follow Microsoft's path....especially Ubuntu which has cloud services and social media integrated.

There will always be other distros, so if Ubuntu's integration of those services encourages people to switch over from Windows, I'm all for it.

Linux is free, Windows will put a hole in your pocket.

Linux has 1.25% of the desktop market, Windows has 95%.

Maybe the true believers should ask themselves how that makes sense, given that Linux is such a great system.

[Cute Tink]

Skipping ME because it was that bad?

 

[FreedByte]

Skipping ME because it was that bad?

Skipping it because I didn't make the image and I don't feel like correcting it

 

[Cute Tink]

Fair enough

Sooner or later, MS will invest into Linux - redhat or ubuntu...

And once this happens there will be a mass exodus to other distros, and conspiracy theories will run wild.

Is this one of those Operating System religious wars?

No, it's Linux evangelism

 

[MoreCoffee]

Oh ...

I don't like Linux much.
