Hey Everybody, look who is back! It is pochacco007. I am sorry on Monday Soul_keeper was really harsh on you. Please do not hold on it too much.
[citation][nom]pochacco007[/nom]look at the moment of os history when it went from command prompts to graphical. there were those who lived on the command prompts that didn't like the graphical approach. but the graphical approach succeeded and those who didn't follow it will shrink. if we apply this to linux, we can clearly see that they didn't change and is why they're small.[/citation]
Yes, Lets look at OS history. Microsoft told us that Windows 98 would be the last OS with command-line. But they did not follow on their promise, they just move the icon in the menu, but it is not the first time so I don't hold that against them. Later in 2006 Microsoft releases PowerShell. Wikipedia:
Windows PowerShell is an extensible command-line shell and associated scripting language from Microsoft. It was released in 2006 and is currently available for Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and is included in Windows Server 2008 as well as Windows 7 (beta) as an optional feature.
So the old argument command-line vs. GUI is lame. The winner is Command-line + GUI.
[citation][nom]pochacco007[/nom]linux is small because there is nothing that is being done to be more like apple or microsofts os. linux is still living in the days of the golden ages [meaning their still living in the past] while everyone else is moving forward. if people were to build linux to be similar like windows xp or os x, then it would succeed. but it isn't going to happen, so i can still say linux sucks. [/citation]
So If we follow your logic we can say that new Windows 2008 and Windows 7 are sucking because they are including PowerShell. Thank goodness most people here are not like you. You are ... (alright I will use political correct term.) misinformed.
