Your key word is "Programmable", if it is so programmable, why there are so many applications are not working with Linux. In today business world, there is no time to wait for a Linux to be mature ... That's the same thing as asking why do aquariums don't sell oranges, most of the programs out there are designed by either Microsoft or designated to work on Microsoft OS only. Just because the market is supersaturated with Microsoft programs, it doesn't mean that Linux is obsolete. In fact, do you realize that over 90% of the PC gaming network don't use Macs because games don't WORK on macs? Yes, the programs are designed to work on Windows only.
In my opinion, Ubuntu is mature enough for the market already, sure it doesn't use a lot of commercialized software like MS Office, but it uses the GNU OpenOffice. Web 2.0 is all about information sharing, Piratebay's trial is showing that already. GNU is definitely the new way out, why fork over hundreds and hundreds of dollars when you can use a simpler version for free? Programs like Open Office, or even Google Docs provide the user with the simplest version of a word processor, of course, if you need something fancier you can ALWAYS buy MS Office. These GNU software don't prohibit you from using the commercial brand, in fact, most of the GNU software are compatible with these commercial software. However, this is not the other way around, commercial software will always inhibit your backwards compatibility, even MS Works will NOT load in MS Word. They are both made by Microsoft, but they inhibit each others' functions so you HAVE to pay to get the files converted. This is BULLSHiT.
GNU software is not about "stealing" or "cloning" they give proper credit to the people who thought of the idea first, but they don't have to pay the royalties. Just because you thought of a word processor on the computer, it doesn't mean you can have a monopoly on the market, other people can code and design too.
My computer runs on a Windows Vista/ virtual box Ubuntu. Linux has come a long way from the haydays of having to programing every step, it's taken on a more user-friendly approach with GUI (graphics user interface).
I don't know what you have against Linux, and my original question was if anyone is familiar with Ubuntu, I am not here to promote Linux, just trying to get to know the OS better before you went psycho on me. |
