punny).

Sure. I personally think a lot of software can be replaced with Open
Source versions but, if not, no sense in fighting it. If someone came to
me and told me he was heavily into PC Games (for example) I would suggest
Windows. Really not much of an option there. You might consider running
the Windows software in a virtual machine under Linux so you would be
secure on the Internet (not so much for games, though). But that's just a
suggestion.

Oh yeah, Obama is *really* getting us out of the insane wars Bush got us
into. Every time I think that a president can't get worse than the last
one, they do. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are worth a plug
nickle in my estimation. It's insane to play the Republican/Democrat game.
Total waste of time, they're all bought and paid for by the same
lobbyists.

And, if that's all you're doing with your computer (and that's all a lot
of people are doing with their computers), then you can install Linux and
not have to worry a about viruses or malware, or the registry getting
corrupted. You're friends would be the perfect candidates for Linux.

This is all the Windows FUDites have, lies and character assassination.

He does sound an awful like all the other WinTrolls. What, do they get
their bullshit piped into directly from Redmond?

Except all our soldiers are protecting Middle Eastern oil fields. Mobile/
Exxon has to figure out which is more important, then maybe we'll go to
war against Venezuela, but not until Exxon gives our government their
marching orders.

And sure, WikiLeaks "verified" Bush's war propaganda. Right. Can I
politiely say, BULLSHIT.

The Big Stool doesn't have enough intelligence to have an ego. He spews
mindlessly on demand, merely parroting his fellow WinTrolls. He is only
noteworthy for his innate instinct to commit acts of extreme stupidity.

RonB pulled this Usenet face plant:
As much as Microsoft bugs me, they are far from inconsequential, even
ignoring Windows (and MS Office and the "apps" that can be written with it).
I view them as a kind of vertical vendor, just another one on a crowded
playing field. Many big businesses buy into the "Microsoft stack".
It's a fairly legitimate business, and I wish Microsoft would stick to that,
rather than gavaging their OS down people's throats.
Not fast enough.

RonB formulated on Sunday :
No, I'm not being purposely obtuse. I'm trying to understand why you
consider linux laptops hard to get - when I can find them for sale
online in about 15 seconds. What your really saying is that it's hard
to find a brick and morter location that sells them, and I would agree
with that. But, that's not the same thing as them being hard to get.

Sure. Computing is supposed to be a "geeky" and "technical" thing.
Knowing anything about it is supposed to SCARE people.
So the idea that you might have a wider view of things because you've
actually gone out and "test driven" other products is fairly alien. You
just take it for granted that the Microsoft experience is all that you can
ever hope for.
You are frightened by the Lemming FUD brigade into thinking that you
can ever only use MS Office. Perhaps you've been frightened enough by them
into thinking that you can only use IE too.
Mega-corporations don't use Windows for heavy lifting.
They use Windows for "being compatable" and desktop work where the cost
of an individual user being down for days with a virus is inconsequential.

That's true of a lot of people actually.
Although what's still unaddressed is just what am I supposed to be
missing exactly? I've got copies of Windows 7 and Snow Leopard and no
interest in running either one of them. Linux simply does not look bad
next to them (despite all the lies to the contrary).

There' a simple tool for that purpose.
You can view Windows mini-dumps with Blue Screen View. it's freeware.
(Windows XP/Vista/Win7) BlueScreenView can read the MiniDump files of
both 32-bit and x64 systems.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
BlueScreenView is a small (48 kb), freeware and portable application
that scans all of the minidump files that are created when Windows
experiences a “Blue Screen of Death”. It will display the information
about all the crashes in one table with the minidump filename, the time
and date of the crash, basic information about the crash (as in the BSOD
message) and the driver or module that possibly caused the crash.
BlueScreenView doesn't require any installation process or additional
dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file -
BlueScreenView.exe.It automatically scans your MiniDump folder and
display all crash details in the upper pane.
