In the Tips&Tricks section the third most viewed tip is "Taking control over your Win7" :!:
:C
Hmm..Time to develop some courtesy towards Win7 :think: I just wish the guy's at Microsoft top level weren't such idiotsImage
The day they cancel their war on Linux I will have nothing against them.

win 7 's gui is basically a beefed up version of vista. although it was made to be easier for a win user to navigate, they still made it very buggy! :evil:
the software is full of holes you can exploit because the government wants it that way. :twisted:
there are many things you do not have control over and you almost have to be a software engineer to get control of them on your own computer. :mandriva:
for all the fluff it's the same old windows crap! :roll:

back when I was testing onebasego you could set up the ssh encryption in multiple levels :s (encryption on files, then encryption of the folders and sub-folders) :shock:
to try to crack the encryption took many :coffee_cup: :coffee_cup: :coffee_cup: and you usually got :C for trying. It was like :mandriva: :lol:

I prefer linux any day :dance:

Yes and it is a nightmare to get it to communicate with a Linux server.

I'm not worried. Windows is what gets them in here to the forum (fyi only 2 of the views on that Win7 thread in Tips 'n Tricks were mine; I could give a rat's about it), then they get to see how nice Linux is comparably. :D

Yes Linux is superior In regards to ease of use, security, speed and reliability. :tux5: Windows has one big advantage though:

Said topic has now been hidden. No worries, we'll put it back when we feel like it. :lol:
