Is there the need to talk about Windows? XP is stable, just most XP users are unexperienced, so they break their XPs, but for such computer users a Linux won't work, since it needs too much tweaking to get a Linux run, hence a borked XP anyway is better than a Linux that completely doesn't work. However, XP will be dropped soon. Or is it already dropped by Microsoft? Btw. 98SE already is stable. Newer Windows might be unstable, I dunno. For me it's important that Microsoft and Apple are unethical companies. Unfortunately XP doesn't run that good on VBox and I'm not willing to install it directly to my computer again. But we should keep in mind, that some software only is available for Microsoft and Apple. And how many users are willing to stand the roughness and all the rules of Linux communities? There are also such forums for Windows, but you also will find many forums where old women are allowed to ask the same stupid questions again and again and even top posting and HTML for emails are allowed. Registry indeed is a PITA, however, on Linux we've got pulseaudio, KDE4 GNOME3. Who cares? Comparing OS is useless. Splitting /etc/rc.conf has less to do with something Windows-like.
Hello Ralf,
sorry, i just wanted to correct some statements which are simply not correct and just OS bashing.
Greetings,

I understand Heiko and I understand you. Comparing OS as examples, to what could happen, sometimes could be helpful. Correcting mistakes then also could be useful.
