>Linux clearly violates Microsoft Intellectual Property. This has been proven in a court of law. Microsoft software patents are stolen just to get Linux to boot up. And thousands more are infringed on by runlevel 5 (multi-user, networking, X11).
>Linux users owe Microsoft 10s of Billions of dollars in damages to compensate for this infringement, and 10s of Billions of dollars more in reasonable royalties. Everything you do and create using Linux, Microsoft owns the rights to.
>Everyone knows that without stolen Microsoft IP, Linux is nothing more than a bloated file manager.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

>>45497462
hey, think about it this way
piracy is bad because potential sales, right?
so every time you run linux on your machine you could be running windows instead, so thats potential windows sales that youre stealing
everyone who runs linux owe's microsoft hundreds of dollars per every machine for potential windows sales

I would like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows, is in fact, NT/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, NT plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another proprietary component of a fully functioning NT kernel made useful by the NT scheduler, memory manager, and services comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.
Many computer users run a modified version of the NT kernel every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NT which is widely used today is often called "Windows," and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NT kernel, developed by the NT Project.
There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the shell: the program in the system that allows you to interface with the kernel and utilize its services in a user-friendly fashion. The shell is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete kernel. Windows is normally used in combination with the NT kernel: the whole system is basically NT with Windows added, or NT/Windows. All the so-called "Windows" distributions are really distributions of NT/Windows.

"Windows (in contrast to Linux) is written and developed with high quality Object Oriented C++, using best practices, with a .NET subsystem. The development tools such as Visual Studio are top notch, world class and mind boggling. And just like Bill Gates’ food, the source-code is only allowed to be touched by the hands of virgins."
I chuckled.
9/11 was caused due to a software problem in the autopilot
guess what OS the autopilot was running
nowadays, autopilots generally run windows 2000
If linux was any good, it would have an install base on par with Windows.
And OEMs would be shipping it with every single PC they manufacture.
I'm not saying Linux isn't good, but it's not as good as Windows.

Patent and intellectual property is bullshit. There's no strong ethical basis of IP laws.

Shut up. Patents are the reason we have a civilized society.
>>45498160
Lol I was right. You are running wine. What's it like to have an OS so shitty that you have to emulate Windows just to get by? I bet you pirated that PS too you scum.
Patents don't count for software. You can't patent basic functionality, it's retarded.
