KDE vs Windows 7

[slackbguser]

windows users are so stupid



[freename18]

win7 best



[Sorcerer8605]

This is not what the title says it is. They shouldn't be telling people that this is Windows 7. They should show it to them and ASK them what they think it is. A majority of people don't know anything about Linux, so they will say that they don't know, or they'll look at the features and say something like, "Isn't that Windows 7?" To which the guys could respond, "No." THAT is the true test of whether or not people can tell the difference.

[Ishpeck]

"Are you saying that we learned nothing?"

"Nothing."

Priceless.

[Rifalltoo]

@Iamthelaw1526 What's funny is that Windows requires about 4x more memory to run less effects.

[Rifalltoo]

I wonder what their reactions were when they heard it wasn't windows, but saw that it could do everything they need to do.

[ericfontainejazz]

Haha!!! How pathetic! Seriously, all that linux distributions need to do is pool a bunch of money together and release tons and tons of silly ads showing how cool and fashionable linux really is. That's why Mac and Windows are so successful.

[kenshuei]

@ericfontainejazz If a group really got behind that idea you would not really need tons and tons of money...do you remember those cool fan made firefox commercials a few years back....if the community got together behind one or even two popular distributions made some decent adds/vid it would actually help a great deal. Oh and I don't mean flash your desktop with metal or techno in the background lol.

[shakeyjack]

KDE looks like Windows 7. The problem is that I have the opinion that WINDOWS 7 SUCKS!!! So...where does that leave KDE? Draw your own conclusions.

[joaorstm]

@shakeyjack I conclude you can still use other Desktop Environments with GNU/Linux, whereas in Windows you are stuck with whatever some people at Redmond thought you should have to use.

[Spamazoid]

@joaorstm not true, thats only the case if you chose to not bother to search.

there are alternative desktop environments for windows too

[OmegaVesko]

@gravaera Well, people who can't learn how to use an OS that spoon feeds you (like Windows) would never find their way around Linux. I agree most distros aren't nearly as hard as they're hyped up to be, but they do require some technical knowhow.

[hurizam]

no way, windows 7 is way better

[hajialibaig]

linux GUI looks like shit next to wilndows 7 aero glassy look

[martmelee]

Wow old good amarok right there...

[sharkoer]

esta mejor el kubuntu 9.0 que el windows 7 :D

tiene mas estilo :) y lo mejor que es de kde =D

[JonyKickaHoleInDaSky]

I HATE BRITISH ACCENTS!!! Not British people...just their accents.

[kenshuei]

@JonyKickaHoleInDaSky but is not a British accent is an Aussie one

[MASTURCHEEF001]

@kenshuei SNOIPA

[iowaseven]

@JonyKickaHoleInDaSky

Kenshuei is right, these people are Australians.

[tommyrocko]

@JonyKickaHoleInDaSky i hate some of them and im british!!!!

[Altiego]

@JonyKickaHoleInDaSky

It's an Australian accent you idiot.

[stuartbrand]

@JonyKickaHoleInDaSky WTF? is everyone outside of the USA British to you? you sound like cartman

[pspheaven]

Gotta love it!

I would'a told them it was linux and that its free after having them think it was 7

[xbobbyx100]

Yeah Linux is getting better than ever i have windows vista and it's so bad i have Kubuntu too but it's so fast and never crash so i think Linux is way better than windows =D

[CabcK]

A better plan would be to give them a copy of Kubuntu Karmic and say - here's your complimentary copy - use it, make copies and share it with all your close friends - its perfectly legal with this version !!!

[myspacecommassergio]

lmfaoooooo hahahahahahahahahhahaa yeah that would've got them to try it haha ur so funny... becuase it would be lieing but it would have worked haha.. funny! High Five! xD

[gravaera]

IT would have been better if you had, toward the end of the video, asked:

"So, would you ever try one of those other OSs, the open Source kind, like Linux, or BSD?"

"Oh no. those are hard to use. Those are...XYZABC...etc"

"Oh. Well you really seemed to like KDE on Linux just a few moments ago. You sure you're telling the truth?"

God. People are ignorant.

[LordDestros]

...Or they simply wouldn't know what Linux or the BSDs were.

[cazastudios]

You so fucking right lol

[EmmanuelVR]

So this guys fooled people who had *never* seen W7? And most of them barely got any idea of Vista?

I don't know how that's supposed to either be funny or prove anything, but ok.

[everett151234]

Microsoft must be crying...

[kenshuei]

Nah MS loves those guys at KDE for giving them something new to steal....I mean copy lol...

[heydude09876]

lol

"good artist copy great artist steal"

-Steve jobless

oops srry

-Steve jobs

[avelx]

@kenshuei too true lol!

[staticrubber]

@kenshuei that's why i hate microsoft.though i use xp.(i'd ditch it if not for my printer,though it works great cause i have a brand new pc and keep myself more secure than other idiots)

[KOSMANIA11]

@everett151234 Microsoft are the masters of political domination, what system did you post that message from? I bet you they are not crying, 90% of youtube users are!

[lighthouseprj]

I'm running KDE 4 myself. Ofcoarse KDE 4.3B2 :-)

[mauroelias1986]

jajajajaj People is idiot, that it not new

[crackonthestreets]

i think this proves quite a point.

[subeycreative]

haha this people buy windows 7 and will be: "where are this amazing effects ??" :D

[glendi92]

But when they see what Aero is capable for, they'll think 'oh they improved it since back then, cool'

[xzell89]

Aero???? Have you ever seen compiz or kwin?

[Spamazoid]

@subeycreative Windows XP had those "amazing" effects fool :)

Vista and 7 have them by default

[cabecanen]

Hahahahaaaaaaa

GNU/Linux rocks!
