HerLoss Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Thats the thing, you can! Just because a command prompt looks dull doesnt mean the OS isnt capable of more graphics intensive activities. Quote
amhso Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 in linux you can switch from gui to non gui if you want. See the things is, if you want gui, they both have it. if you want both..only linux-like systems. if you want only command line, linux works. Linux is more customizable to your needs Quote
HerLoss Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 The other great thing about linux is that it's GUIs, GNOME and KDE, dont take forever to load, and dont sap resources like windows does. Quote
nilayz Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Thats the thing, you can! Just because a command prompt looks dull doesnt mean the OS isnt capable of more graphics intensive activities. Really? All I knew was of a program called DOSAmp (from NullSoft) which can be used to play MP3 songs in DOS.... is there any way you can watch DVDs in a CLI environment? PS: I'm not talking about OS-es that comes with dual flavour. Quote
Yelovinyl Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 I use Windows XP but I'm considering switching to Linux... Quote
myscrnnm II Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 I use Windows XP but I'm considering switching to Linux... Don't do it. If you're going to switch to anything at all, switch to Apple Computer's Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, the world's most advanced operating system. Quote
majazac Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 i like Windows XP... hey, after i intalled SP2 i got a weird security issue... Can anyone help me? I can't open none of the things that i receive through MSN or any attached file through Outlook Express cuz WXP blocks them telling that is not safe to open. That happens with images, documents, videos, everything. What can i do? Quote
amhso Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 majazac...windows always has security issues. but you have to disable the windows firewall. or change the security scale, it's in your control panel. myscrnnm II, give us reason to switch to tiger OS. I would say that's a waste of money and time. Flexibility, options, and using windows and open source software (sometimes) are unavailable options to mac users. Web development is restricted and programming as well. You have to BUY extra software. and BUY special video cards that really suck and you have to pay premium for them. Quote
Dragonfire Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I prefer windows cuz its more common .. it is owned by microsoft and microsoft also owns msn so they also have stuff like msn passport services and stuff installed it is also better, popular, and easy-to-use GUI (graphical user interface ) e.g the icons and desktop and how it is designed ..

kikass Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 i prefer windows because it is more easy to use and i have been using it a lot and im more comfortable using it. Quote
