Yeah i cant wait till the whole world runs on code any hacker can download and watch the fireworks when all this free software blows up and there is no money behind it to stop it.. It would be total irony at that point that MS "saves" the day by being able to combat the issues as it does today with all the money it has backing it and experiance it has fighting all the crap thrown at it.
And that artical on the french police.... i was reading it and i swear it said they would need training to use the new windows OS but not linux.. why would someone need training to use something they already know how to use but not something they have never seen before? makes no sense.
[citation][nom]guardianangel42[/nom]Alright, and what's the best 3D modeling, design, and CAD software available on Ubuntu? What's the best video game development software, infrastructure management tools, and medical record keeping software available? Face it, the police don't NEED more than Ubuntu to do what they do. Other people do.[/citation]
Most people do thats why no one uses it.
[citation][nom]freggo[/nom]"ditch the decrepit operating system"...Wrong conclusion. Ditch Symantec !!![/citation]
I would ditch both.. they are both crap.
[citation][nom]coder543[/nom]Yes.. time to ditch the decrepit operating system called Windows. Buy Mac, install Linux, use Chromebooks or Tablets. Whatever it takes... it'll most likely end up lowering your IT costs.[/citation]
Yeah instead of a unified OS that runs everything.. Move to a bunch of obscure OS's that might not even work vary well together and no one makes software for. not to mention two 3rds of them cant even run real software.
