You just don't see the broken out cost. You can't just go out and buy OS X and expect to install it on any PC either. As much as I love my Mac I'm not going to glorify Apple by misinforming others and telling them that the OS is absolutely FREE. - we shou

ID.. I have a coffee maker I bought at Wal-Mart that does K-Cups as well as standard pots. $79. You can get the re-usable filter for the k-cups side and reap the benefits of single serve. Just an FYI..

[quote who="kona0197" reply="16" id="3446139"]Actually the OS itself isn't expensive. It's the price Apple charges for the same hardware that you find in Windows computers.[/quote] So where is the price list for just OS X? How are you making this comparison without that? As for the "same hardware".. Sorry, not 100% accurate. My Macbook Pro Retina is unlike any hardware I've seen. It is sweet, slick and very appealing in all appearances. The processor may be intel a

smart devices were not even considered in the OP. I believe it was questioning the relevance of Linux on a PC. While server environments fall a bit off that scope they aren't as far out there as a phone.

I use the shit out of server software, even at home. My file server is on VMWare ESXi and I have Windows Server 2003 R2 as my guest OS and that is my file server. Yes, even if I only have one guest server I try to do it in an esxi environment for a number of reasons.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="1" id="3445936"]I think you have to be relevant in the first place to be overrated. [/quote] From a home end user perspective it isn't relevant at all. As I said in another thread, if you feel it is and want to spout your drivel, then by all means I urge you to put up or shut up. Abandon Windows entirely and rely solely on Linux for all your computing needs. From a commercial and technical perspective it is essential. Take VMWare VSphere for

If you guys want to compare Linux to Windows then knock yourselves out.

Reply to Do we really know what respect means? in Community WinCustomize Forums

I must agree with your observation. If I offer criticism I try to always mean it as constructive and motivating. There is no place for the plain "That Sucks" kind of comment and the people that make them. On another side of the coin I see more authors that cant take criticism of ANY KIND AT ALL. Even well formed and valid criticism. IMO, there is no place for that kind of "skinner" either as their ego's suck all the fun out of an otherwise enjoyable activity.
