Let say that you wake up some day and hear on the news that Sharman is gone. What you gonna use ? (you might need to add some extra spyware and addware manually ) :lol: :lol: :lol:

History has repeatedly shown that larger marketshare leads to more commercial development. More commercial development has always led to more efforts to develop better free software equivalents.

Cselik i want to talk with you .

Way to be haxor...just say no :lol:


I wish I could get those p2p progs to work in linux&#33;&#33; Then I would use it all the time&#33;&#33; (except for games... <_< )

If windows was gone i would of course use linux B)

[peat moss]

Id buy a over priced MAC. <_<

Same here.

I&#39;ll use Win XP until it&#39;s outdated but at the same time migrate to the Mac. It&#39;s an obvious choice for me.

Since mac os x is based on unix I would probably buy a really high powered mac.

Looks like candy......................sweet ;)

I&#39;d definitely give a serious go with Gentoo Linux. I played around with it a while ago, but the Linux kernel at the time didn&#39;t support my mobo completely (no drivers for the onboard ethernet).

Interesting question SH...

For a start, I&#39;d have a decent excuse to uninstall XP.

Software developers would have to start making apps and games for other OSes.. I&#39;m just curious about which one they&#39;d end up going with... Mac or Linux?

I think they&#39;d probably settle on supporting Macs, but the huge number of PC users out there *might* convince them that Linux would be the way to go...
If that happened, the development of at least one flavour of Linux would become better funded, so hardware compatibility issues would probably be dealt with a lot quicker... and installation would be made easier for the not so computer literate...

Nope.. I don&#39;t see a down side to any of this. :)

[Illuminati]

Well if it happened any time soon, WinXP still has a decent lifespan left - Enough to see how much further the Linux kernel develops. After a bit (most likely time for software developers to concentrate on other OSs), I&#39;d go straight for Linux - Probably Red Hat.

As a supplement thing, I&#39;d probably shell out on a Mac as well over time - Get the best out of both worlds :D

The only thing I don&#39;t like though is that we may get a technological version of the antibiotics problem and potentially get some kind of "superhackers" or superviruses, supertrojans etc

[NightStalker]

Mac OS X :rolleyes:

[NoSoup4You]

MS-DOS 5.0.
Has all the functionality I need.
Has a pretty good GUI (DOSSHELL.EXE), I can also actually DO stuff without loading the GUI.
There are plenty of Spreadsheet, Word Processing, Databasing, and even CAD programs for DOS. And most are under 3 megabytes.

I&#39;d dare say that some of the best games were DOS games (of course, this is someone who is entertained for at least an hour playing Nibbles. ;-)

Another thing about DOS, where Windows XP takes 30 secs to boot, DOS takes 5. (6 or 7 with DOSSHELL in autoexec.bat, maybe 10 with Windows 3.1)

first of all mac sucks and second linux is a good choice. I suspect that linux will just become the next "windows" if that ever happend. (both for the good and bad)

The o.s. on macs are based on unix.

Linux is based on unix. Do the math.

When you open up a terminal in a mac you can shoot out the same commands as you can on a linux box. <_<
