Or the fact I couldn't even do a graphical install of Linux on my old machine cos X Windows (at the time) didn't wanna play cos I didn't have enough RAM.
|
Err.. Last I checked, X Windows was not part of the Linux kernel.
And everyone knows X Windows is a bloated piece of shit.
Dunno where you got the idea of everything being faster in Linux from.
It's 99% true though...

Bollocks.

Show me Groups working properly in Windows.

True only if the user account has Administrator permissions... which as we all know should never be done. This problem stems from a poorly setup OS, not an inherent fault in the OS itself.
It's exactly the same as a program running under linux with root permissions... it can trash the entire system too! But is that a fault with the OS?
|
But what set of permissions does the default user have on a clean install of Windows? Is there even mention that the user will have Administration priveliges? Are the users told that this is a bad idea?
The fundamental core of Windows is not secure. They have just built stuff around it to try to prevent people/worms/virii doing bad things to the system. Like Outlook blocking off all EXEs.
