Windows rapidly approaching desktop usability | |

Every year or so I like to see how Microsoft is doing in its attempt to make a desktop operating system as usable as Linux. Microsoft Windows XP, Home Edition, with Service Pack 2, is a tremendous improvement over previous Windows versions when it comes to stability and appearance, but it still has many glitches that keep it from being competitive with GNU/Linux for everyday users, including a tedious installation procedure, lack of productivity software included with the operating system, hardware compatibility problems, and a price so much higher than any of the Linux distributions I've tested lately that I don't feel this product is a good value for most home or small office users. | ||

I see the Linux faithful are panicking now that Novell is doing for Linux what they did for Wordperfect: lose a pot full of money.

Interesting bit of an article, definitely for the curious ones there who'd like to see an article with a Linux slant. This post was edited by testman on Sunday, May 29, 2005 at 05:53. |

| Silly Windows, which has to be concerned with being compatible with several previous OS and older programs. Is nice to be unattached and naive. |
