Windows Wins? Linux Loses!

It is decided, the mob rulez.

Windows is the champion in the OS WAR, aside from having an army of clones and nodes, with every worm, virus, and trojan known in hackerdom and a keystroke logger with a return email address to your proxy and ssl encrypted one time use email.

Now Microsoft has assumed that the users have become extra retarded with Vista, now the official retarded progeny of the Microsoft Empire, I will assume this is its flagship product, and a total slap in the face of the computer nerds who know anything.


But, for all its fatal flaws, it scores over Linux because of the obvious and the not so obvious things.

First, the obvious

Windows boots into the GUI from the start.

Without direction, Linux boots into command prompt.

The delicate surgical operation, to install earlier versions of Linux required more patience and through understanding of specific motherboard layouts, and BIOS settings. When I installed earlier versions of Linux (Redhat), I opted for the non-graphical installs as not to tax the computers resources and get a cleaner install.

Windows boots into a GUI from the start, from pretty every option on user friendly world of welcome. Pre-installation, means allot when you have a new system. 99.9% of the sheeple will never venture far from the start button.

But for the 0.1% that truly give a fuck, the command prompt of Linux gives a real time living example of its magnificence. but the weakness of having a patchwork of C code and no real direction of how to use it is the Achilles heel of Linux. Open Source, is only really open to those who know how to use it well. The more you know how things work the better Open Source will serve ones needs.

Windows, has at best one salvageable attribute, with XP pro, its a hacker's Tonka Toy playground. Linux, of course, is the hacker's weapon of choice.


The not so obvious

Linux is a surpassingly elegant Operating System once the learning curve is leveled its elegance becomes apart of its user. But it is a task, to become efficient and to have sufficient foreknowledge to make ones tasks meaningful. Linux is a toolkit for the professional more than a user friendly tools for the hobbiest that XP/Vista seem to be.

Bootable Linux, is a bootable toolkit ready for any system it is configurable with, whether old school CD bootable or new spy-school USB, every hacker worth her salt should always have at least one bootable USB.

Access to a uncontaminated Operating System, to target actual hard-drives that are connected to the net.

Windows, of course, will win. It is a virus that has infected the mind of the majority of its users. Microsoft wants to be a player, so they will invariably come up with something to make its comeback.

...it's a matter of capital punishment. If you have the capital, you don't get punished
