That is a very wise statement. Of course, it is hard to define what ethics are. Some times, it is based on the popularity of point of views as the people's cultures change over time. Another hand, people's ethics can changed and persuaded when others show their expression underneath their...

My hatred toward Microsoft isn't Microsoft. It is their management. There are many talented developers work at MS. Some developers even moonlight as Linux developers. Business people don't have to be unethical. Don't get me started on why MS handed over millions to SCO to sue Linux. Not to...

I'm not a fan of DRM, because I like to utilize my purchase goods. Also, I'm not a fan of music and movie industries. They are known to screw everyone. While certain artists are barely paying their bills, but they are known to practice unethical accounting practice. I know plenty of artists who...

It should be fine. OpenOffice reads MS office files. Since templates are a bit different, you should go find some templates on the net for your user/client.

It isn't a science to download the latest kernel and download few utilities and compile it and setup a basic firewall. Fact that you claim that it requires an army of developers just tells you don't what you are saying at all. Anybody with least five years of basic knowledge can do that within...

Well... I'm going to research few things later this week. It would be nice if this was possible. It would be an insane saving.

Yea, DD-WRT makes them Linux expert and Pfsense makes them FreeBSD expert. Oh my! Firefox and IE! They are so hard! You must be sooo smarter than all of us put together! Dude, you can't even compile a nano. If you are going to pretend, please do it little better. Thanks. I guess Android phone...

This clearly states you don't what you are talking about... If you think Smoothwall sucks, then blame Smoothwall. I think Smoothwalls sucks too. It is too basic. Linux is only the kernel. People can download the kernel and do whatever they please. Get with the program instead of yelling at...

DAMN! I knew you were too smart! Alright, the truth comes out. You aren't on the net right now. You are on a special Microsoft network. All the sites that you visit are all staged. There are actually only ten of us who have to constantly post things everywhere. Things aren't real. You are right...

Why don't you borrow or buy a USB hub and try it? They are like $5 to $10 these days. If it doesn't work, you can use it for other things.

Thanks for the tip. That can save insane amount of money for a small business that wants Windows. I just want to more clear. So, I can buy another one year subscription for a small business ABC then I'm done. They legally purchased all the license they need. All of this transaction is legally OK...

Before we go on and on about another pointless thread. Here is what I gathered about OSX. For people who don't like to fuss with hardware and don't need the high end UNIX functionalities, OSX is a great OS for that market. There is a huge market for people who don't want to deal with hardware...

Basically, you are saying long as I can prove BobJoe is testing the OS, then I can install it, and have him use it long as I want. I guess it is feasible to say, Company A who has 20 users, I can buy a Technet subscription for them and install it on ten computers.

It really depends on the firmware for the USB. Some routers use the USB for the printers.

Is this true? Can you buy this one for any clients? I haven't bother to read the EULA for Technet.

There is an issue with FF 3.1 beta with Win7, but it seems like FF 3.0.6 seems to work fine. I don't use Zune, so I can't help you with that.

My rates are currently way down. Also, trying out the different market segments are way harder than I thought.

No, I'm not trying to give out an attitude, but it sure feels like you are based on the tone of your writing. People are going to have different needs. Telling other users they are stupid for still using XP or other Windows OSes are ridiculous. Maybe, XP users don't want to upgrade their...

Here is a thing. It took me a while, but only few users in this forum actually spent time with multiple OSes. I work with both Windows and Linux servers for many years now. I have my dislikes and likes for both OSES. It seems like so many users use Linux firewalls and Linux firmwares and didn't...

If we go along with your idea, we must have sub forums for XP, VISTA, and Win7. There are more arguments for XP vs VISTA and Win7 vs Vista than Windows vs Linux. If you are forgetting, top topics for OS are always one Windows OS vs another Windows OS.

You are not understanding the fact needs of the end users are different. They have different hardware, applications, requirements, security and corporate needs, price, and other variables. Of course, most of them never bothered to try everything for least a full year to notice the difference in...

Are you saying, Windows users aren't "The Cult of Bill Gates?" Every time, one person states a mistake about Vista, they will be attacked by the army of Vista lovers. I say, MS followers are more of cult users than the Apple products. Windows users argue with other Window users about their...

Just LET IT GO. It is very admirable you have so much passion for Microsoft products, but your views are bias. The OP made his decision.

I use Linux, xBSD, Windows, and OSX. I think multiple versions for Windows 7 is a good idea. OSX is a uniformed hardware platform. Hardware and OS come from the same vendor. The integration is tighter. One version is more ideal for OSX. Linux and xBSD are an open platform that means anyone can...

I beg you to stay out of Linux threads. Please and thank you. Please, go through your history statements that are related to what you said. If I have to go through your history statements and copy/paste everything, we are ruining the thread for the OP. You make money off Windows, so you want the...

Listen... Please. Listen carefully. I will say it once, because I'm a bit tired of this and you are ruining the thread for the OP. He asked Linux users a question, NOT Windows users. Please don't bother going to Linux section and yell, "LINUX is too hard. Linux doesn't have enough drivers. Vista...

By default, Ubuntu has no root account. After the default installation, there is NO root account. They use sudoers. I don't know how clear I can be. You can enable the root account and login as a root. Nobody logins to windows manager as a root. Maybe, you should try Linux instead of just...

Linux will support many monitors as your hardware will support it. You have to understand how to manually tweak your xorg.conf. This guy got 24 monitors to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqB01Cp_wPM

Right. There is no root account in the default installation. I don't think you know too much about Unix at all and constantly offering bias opinions. You can't rename a root account as Bob. In Windows you can rename the Administrator account as Bob. You can't do that in Linux. The concept of...

I guess you haven't tried Ubuntu yet. Ubuntu's default setup is using sudo. If you have used Ubuntu, you should know this.

Security measure is based around three things. 1. Training and Policy 2. File and execution permission 3. How the OS operates. What you have stated only applies to number one and two. If we live in a perfect world as you said, there would be no security updates required. You are forgetting...

You mean it reduces the chance, because you tested by going to bad sites doesn't mean certain things in the world doesn't exist. How OS libraries handle the execution is based around the programs of those libraries. You are not seeing the picture that the security can be handle by the...

It really depends on the machine and how the new and old configuration and drivers handle the ACPI and other HAL related things. Try running Sysprep first before imaging it. That will reset most of the hardware. Your best bet is reinstall from fresh.

Hardware DEP is better than nothing, but it has been broken since last year. People found attackers can utilize DLLs instead of execution. Hardware DEP is another layer that makes thing more difficult, but it isn't a full proof. Software DEP is just pointless. One thing I realized about a...

If you only need a basic file transfer, SFTP or FTPS (ftp with SSL) should be enough.

Software DEP doesn't do anything. His computer has to support DEP to truly work. Ubuntu should be fine for new users. Plenty of Linux bloggers who use Ubuntu.

It is more like $20 to $30. No way 7 is going to be priced that low for an OS that will have 7 to 10yrs of patch support. Netbook for 7 will be priced least $60 more. It makes a big difference when the few netbooks are going to be target at $220. Also, Intel not allowing Nvidia to play this...

It can be done if they use a ram disk to hold configurations before it formats the disk. Windows can ask all the questions at the beginning. That is how some Linux distros do it.

Most netbooks are 32bit. They use N270 and N280.

Sorry. This isn't true. There are different ATOM chips out there.
