I used to be a fervent believer that open source would win. I highly doubt it today. Yes, Android is a significant contributor, but it has a dodgy history of openness so far. I will continue to use linux on my desktop, but I believe the race for the major market share is over.
uh it may be good? But theres only so few programs (and games) working on that OS. Now if it would somehow get more famous among developers like mac is getting.. more competition would mean better progress for all.
@orasis i just hope some genious will discover linux soon, and write some codes to use windows/mac programs cross-platform. We allredy have Wine, and POL, but they still have problems with compitability on graphics... thats the major problem for me at least...
@qjqqyy So everything non-commercial should not have commercials? Weird, I see a lot of UNICEF-ads in TV, however it's a non-profit organisation... Btw the commercial was made by Red Hat, they sell some kind of "commercial" linux, however their costumers pays for the brilliant support they give.
@SirVipera Just to let you know I use RedHat but it is NOT free at all. $350 with no support. For the server contract that I have for RedHat Enterprise -w- Linux Premium support I paid around $1,300 / year for ONE server. It is NOT "FREE." If you are looking for the most respected unhackable tiny Unix/Linux get OpenBSD, but I do like RedHat and I use it because it may get me a job the more that I know about it.
@qjqqyy Just because it's developed by a large community of unpaid users, it shouldn't be allowed to represent itself? Your YouTube videos do not get you any money, so they're non-profit? Doesn't that mean, by your logic, that they should be pulled from the internet? :/
@qjqqyy No, you see, you said Linux in your initial comment, not Red Hat specifically. I'm not talking about Red Hat here, I'm talking about Linux itself. You said Linux should not have commercials, and the majority of Linux distro's available are produced by unpaid users who do it for fun. What about that means it does not deserve to be shown off? Because it's not expensive like Windows or Mackintosh, it doesn't deserve to get a look in? That's corporate thinking.
can i ask.. do you think Ubuntu can be a corporate success? e.g get money from small to medium businesses?
Let Me Explain
Fedora is the king of servers and I hope Canonical does get some .gov money, but perhaps the 'way in' for Canonical is home usage then small business then medium, if the Office foundation would stop messing around it could really kill MS office. when i've saved it always saves in OTD format guh! i want .DOC and for it to transfer easily
@dava4444 yes of course it can...any operating system can...you just have to do it right..and ubuntu ..does it right...but thats not what ubuntu is..ubuntu is an open source operating system..with open source software..it could take out microsoft eventually..and yes i hate that too..but you should try libre office :P..it is much better than openoffice...but on the line of corporate success..it could be..they just have to sign a partnership with a hardware company..so they can make their own..
@dava4444 ubuntu machines..so that if each machine is 200 dollars..it could be split 50/50 throughout the 2 companys..kind of like what system 76 does
software should be free open and flexible , but trendieness is definately a bonus , i use the latest ubuntu distro on vmware and i have to say its very trendy aswell as awesome
@TekElectronik It's as powerful as it is now mostly because of some very rich companies realising that money can be made on it. Vast majority of code contributions to the Linux kernel are from paid employees of companies like RedHat, IBM, Google, etc. And it's a good thing, because good developers can then spend more time on it while still being able to pay their rent ;).
I'm gonna be devil's advocate for a moment here (as a long time user of Unix(non-TM)). It's great to have a free alternative to Windows and I'm really impressed with Fedora 14 ATM, but the suggestion that MS has done nothing innovative is not truthful and neither is that Linux is some kinda ignored pariah.
People use Windows or Max OS, because they have not tried Linux, they are afraid to switch to smth new and probably have never even heard of it.
Telling a Windows user, that hasn't experienced Linux that Linux us way better is just like telling a deaf person that there are some awesome pieces of music in this world. He could never realize what stands behind those words.
Linux is better than windows because even for those who like windows for it's UI Linux can emulate that as well as the UI of mac OS X, the UI in my eyes is the only reason (not including games) that anyone would want to use anything other than a distro of linux.
In that case best if you call the department that is responsible for making commercials to red hot to get the producer's name. why are you so interested?
I watched this video using a 8 year old HP laptop with 512 MB ram and 1.6 GHz CPU running Xubuntu with KDE desktop environment. I got the computer for free cuz it was too old for anyone else. I us linux because XP is too slow and Mac is overpriced. I think I can safely say, Linux, FTW!
microsoft is still in the fighting phase. it wont last forever though, eventually Linux will win out be it 10-50 years it will happen. that's what i think.
Or maybe the most predications that get known are funny and wrong.. I think people do not care about boring, realistic predications that did not fail drastically..
@SirVipera no, I think it might be most of them, after all when you attempt to predict what will happen next in technology you are trying to say that you know where all the research money is going, and I highly doubt that anyone researches where the money for each company is going before making a prediction
But i guess lot's of predictions came from companies who were manufacturing and/or researching these things they predicted about.. But maybe it does not count as a prediction because they KNEW what going to be next thing in the development of their products..
Anyway, i agree, a lot of predictions are bullshit. Some predictions written down here will be right some won't.
I have read some of these comments, and other people seem to be giving predictions about the future of technology, these people need to look up: "funny predictions about technology from the past"

@russiancza i love linux but convincing average everyday computer users to use linux is basicaly impossible. Linux is not that easy to use compared to windows xp(in which you could do everything wrong and still get it right) I love linux but its not something i would give my mom on her computer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Keep dreaming chumps, linux still has a long way to go before it can give windows any real competition. If it ever did "win" it would not be for many years, linux would never be able to push out windows overnight it would take a gradual process of becoming more and more popular over many years and MS isn't just going to sit there and let that happen.
@hmjgriffon so you must not remember places using novell for all those years. It took a while for windows to become the standard and before that is was Linux and unix. The first webserver in the world was Nix based but you're right. You win. 30+ and living with dad you have tons of impact on the tech community keeping linux down.
it is no where near as easy as windows ya tool, windows = click a few buttons. ubunti = spend hours on end looking through forums to find out how to install a webcam
speak for yourself. i had no problems with my webcam..
and besides, most of those hardware problems aren't linux's fault. if hardware manufacturers don't make their drivers open, or don't update their linux drivers, there's not much we can do.. hardware manufacturers are the ones that decide if they want linux compatibility or not..
nah.. i can't say one is better than the other. i'm just saying everybody has their preferences. what may be good for you, may not be good for others.. and vice versa..
People use windows because most of the GAMES are for windows. I use windows only for gaming too...
The future is not so bright for MS. In the future programs and your data will be always accessible on the internet. No need of big operating systems anymore :) There will be a very light system on the computer, like Android - Chrome OS. Both are based on GNU/Linux. They are going to be free, lightweight and rapid
@axcrit Yeah, I've been using computers since DOS, I don't remember anyone using novell at home, again you think you know it all but you either know nothing, or you like to be an asshole and try to bait me with flat out bullshit. How long have people been using windows on the desktop? That's right, and since the GPL you can't make any money on making a good easy to use linux OS so there's no company to push its development like OS X or windows. I foresee it sucking for a long time.
ALso @SirVipera enjoy your shit ass cloud computing, how many people will want to pay a fee every month just to boot their fucking computer over the internet? Keep on dreaming buddy, local hardware for home use is here to stay, how well is a computer game going to run across the internet with the whole OS running across the net? How about 3D acceleration? You must be a complete moron.
In the future, like 5-10 years, I actually think game developers will make games for Linux and just not for Window$ (and perhaps Mac). At that time, I'm gonna change to Linux! :D
@SirVipera But for me, IMHO, the best gaming platform is game consoles like PS3, X360 or Wii... You don't have to update your drivers, download the patches, install newer versions of DirectX (for Windows) or libraries like SDL (for Linux). And most of the great games either come out only on consoles, or come on PCs months later. The only games PCs are (for now) better in are (IMHO) FPSes like Quake or Counter-Strike and MMORPGs.
For everyday surfing on internet, movies and normal activities, windows, mac os x and linux is equally good.. what are you going to use the windows on a mac for?
It's like installing old games on windows 7, theoretically it works, but in the most case you must download the crack even if you have the original CD and key..
@SirVipera Microsoft is the future and all product of microsoft are best product in the universe redhat is best tow but windows 8 and hpc server of microsoft is better than redhat product
If you use Firefox or any other browser that has the ability to install Firefox plugins (like Iceweasel or Epiphany). Then you should look for 'DownloadHelper'.
Install it and then there will be an icon of DownloadHelper on the left of the title of this video. Click on it and the download will be triggered.
Macs are like buying a foreign car that works great but is more expensive and needs special parts/mechanics.
Microsoft is like buying a pooly made but cheap car. Parts are plentiful, but everything seems to always be breaking. But that is what mechanics are for.
Linux is like having a group of mad people down the street giving away M1 Abrams tanks for free, and wondering why everyone isn't jumping to taking one.

@russiancza i love linux but convincing average everyday computer users to use linux is basicaly impossible. Linux is not that easy to use compared to windows xp(in which you could do everything wrong and still get it right) I love linux but its not something i would give my mom on her computer.

Keep dreaming chumps, linux still has a long way to go before it can give windows any real competition. If it ever did "win" it would not be for many years, linux would never be able to push out windows overnight it would take a gradual process of becoming more and more popular over many years and MS isn't just going to sit there and let that happen.

@hmjgriffon so you must not remember places using novell for all those years. It took a while for windows to become the standard and before that is was Linux and unix. The first webserver in the world was Nix based but you're right. You win. 30+ and living with dad you have tons of impact on the tech community keeping linux down.

Most everyday americans do not have time to sit down and learn everything in linux when windows and osx makes everything so easy.

are you implying that linux isn't easy??
or significantly harder than windows or osx??

@MegaEpictroll
speak for yourself. i had no problems with my webcam..
and besides, most of those hardware problems aren't linux's fault. if hardware manufacturers don't make their drivers open, or don't update their linux drivers, there's not much we can do.. hardware manufacturers are the ones that decide if they want linux compatibility or not..

People use windows because most of the GAMES are for windows. I use windows only for gaming too...
The future is not so bright for MS. In the future programs and your data will be always accessible on the internet. No need of big operating systems anymore :) There will be a very light system on the computer, like Android - Chrome OS. Both are based on GNU/Linux. They are going to be free, lightweight and rapid

@axcrit Yeah, I've been using computers since DOS, I don't remember anyone using novell at home, again you think you know it all but you either know nothing, or you like to be an asshole and try to bait me with flat out bullshit. How long have people been using windows on the desktop? That's right, and since the GPL you can't make any money on making a good easy to use linux OS so there's no company to push its development like OS X or windows. I foresee it sucking for a long time.

ALso @SirVipera enjoy your shit ass cloud computing, how many people will want to pay a fee every month just to boot their fucking computer over the internet? Keep on dreaming buddy, local hardware for home use is here to stay, how well is a computer game going to run across the internet with the whole OS running across the net? How about 3D acceleration? You must be a complete moron.

In the future, like 5-10 years, I actually think game developers will make games for Linux and just not for Window$ (and perhaps Mac). At that time, I'm gonna change to Linux! :D

@SirVipera But for me, IMHO, the best gaming platform is game consoles like PS3, X360 or Wii... You don't have to update your drivers, download the patches, install newer versions of DirectX (for Windows) or libraries like SDL (for Linux). And most of the great games either come out only on consoles, or come on PCs months later. The only games PCs are (for now) better in are (IMHO) FPSes like Quake or Counter-Strike and MMORPGs.

@SirVipera Games are made for windows, but with WINE you can change them into a format for linux.

Yes you can but it's a lot of trouble with it..
It's like installing old games on windows 7, theoretically it works, but in the most case you must download the crack even if you have the original CD and key..

If you use Firefox or any other browser that has the ability to install Firefox plugins (like Iceweasel or Epiphany). Then you should look for 'DownloadHelper'.
Install it and then there will be an icon of DownloadHelper on the left of the title of this video. Click on it and the download will be triggered.

Best comparison I have heard is this...
Macs are like buying a foreign car that works great but is more expensive and needs special parts/mechanics.
Microsoft is like buying a pooly made but cheap car. Parts are plentiful, but everything seems to always be breaking. But that is what mechanics are for.
Linux is like having a group of mad people down the street giving away M1 Abrams tanks for free, and wondering why everyone isn't jumping to taking one.
Most people can't drive a tank.
