***Disclamer*** I am not bashing linux, I am not a troll. I am just writting
an answer to the linux users who make fun of windows users, and some food
for thought for everyone.
A linux advocate downloads linux, installs it on a $500 - $800 powerful
computer, and is happy that you he has a free OS.
Furthermore he goes about making fun of everyone else with windows
computers, calling them stupid.
How blind can a person be?
If you look further into the mechanisms that made this possible
you will see that windows was the OS responsible for this.
Windows was the OS that let people of all kinds to start using computers in
an everyday basis. Windows was the OS that changed computers from a thing
only
super geeks that had gone to 5 years to learn how to program, to a thing any
person could do, even a child. Childsplay!
Windows was the OS that changed the whole market for software and hardware,
created new opportunities, new hardware innovations, new technologies, and
the expansion of the internet to what we have now.
Thousands went to study computer programming because of windows.
Thousands of jobs where created to fuel the windows and computer revolution.
Thousands of computers were installed in businesses, homes, schools and
everyone
started using them.
Windows created all this foundation that we have today.
Linux now stepped on that foundation of cheap computers, the expanded
internet, and computer literate community
and used that to try to develop a user friendly version of its OS. THIS HAS
NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED even to this day.
As any logical person would observe, it is stealing resources from the
windows platform. Not to say that most of its programs
are developed like clones or rip-offs of windows applications.
If you take everything I said into account, if people had not used windows,
the computers would be more expensive, the internet would be smaller,
less people would be using computers, less people would be designing
hardware, less people would be being educated to be programmers,
less software would exist. Practically we would be 10 years behind... and 10
years in computer time is like hundreds of years normal time.
So if windows made everything cheaper and more accessible, isn't it more
cost efficient for it to exist, than linux? I say that it has a negative
cost...
meaning that it brings more money in that it takes out and created new
possibilities that would never exist without it.
In other words if we wanted to have what we have now, with technology that
was 10 years older, the cost would be unbearable, even if it was possible.
Having said all that, I know of course that windows was created on top of a
unix prehistory... MS found programmers and ideas from unix.
But you cannot disregard the influence windows had on the advancement of
technologies we have today.
I personally would slap a linux geek on the face if he giggled at me saying
that I was stupid because I used windows.
I would call that disrespect to what enabled him to be in that position.
