People are allowed to have opinions.

I like Windows, I also like *nix. There are people on this site that hate Windows, and I'm also sure you'll find many who swear by Windows. You sound like on of them. But most people don't get all excited/aggressive and call everyone else dumb because they don't share the same beliefs or opinions.

Sure, it has its merits. So does Linux and Minix and most OS's I've tried.

In my experience both correctly set up are as stable as one another. Maybe the problem with your experience with Linux and Unix exists between the keyboard and chair?

I'm sure Windows excels in some areas and slower that other OS's in other areas. But you can't say it's "faster". Most OS's can suffer from bloatingness. You may have been using a stock Linux distro that installed a load of unwanted servers leading to a bad experience. That also happens far too often on Windows too.

Read my last comment.
mynameyay wrote:I mean, the Linux registry is just a big folder.
Linux does not have a 'registry'. That is a Windows concept. Are you meaning the configuration files in the /etc directory? Did you know the entire Windows registry is contained in only a few system/user files? That means there's a greater chance of corruption and possibly slower (note I said
possibly not definitely) since all the files have to be parsed during boot-up and login (even more slower if you have a bloated registry). In Unix/Linux programs access their own configuration files in /etc so one bloated file will not affect the entire system. Again, both systems have their merits.

Are you one of those people who claim Microsoft invented the mouse and the GUI? (Before you start trying to make us believe that - the mouse and the GUI were invented Douglas Engelbert and later went to market by Xerox).
If you're talking about some feature of a program that runs on Linux (such as MPlayer, KDE, Gnome, etc) then you should know most programs can also be compiled to run on multiple operating systems and they have nothing to do with Linux itself. Before you say "KDE stole [insert visual effect here] from Windows" then boast about the originality in Vista, you may want to look at Mac OS X which was released in 2001.

According to Wikipedia:
Windows 1.0 - 1985
MS-DOS - 1980
Unix - 1969
Multics - 1964

You should begin that sentence as "In my opinion..", "I believe..", "Through my experience.."
I won't even comment on that one until you do some research and act more grown-up than to make false assumptions and talk in a tone which implies you're trying to educate us and make us feel arrogant.
Coming in here and explaining "The sun revolves around the earth because the sun is smaller and the earth can't be moving or else we'd feel it move.. OBVIOUS
" won't make you many friends (that was an example - I'm not offending the Flat Earth Society
). You can have an opinion and we welcome that on this forum - but using that tone and attitude isn't.
