Is there no more obvious problem with the system of government than this? It is obvious that money interests have an unfair and unjust influence over government in practice.

Isn't 'ease of use' the main thing that Red Hat, Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, etc, are all working towards? Does that mean that we now have to go off and find an even more complex OS to be worthy intelligent computer users?Īnd before everyone rushes to condemn me, I just would like to point out that I use Linux, Windows 2000 and Mac OS X. conf files and all that nonsense? An OS should just sit there quietly in the background causing as little disturbance as possible while the user gets on with the real work/play/whatever he/she/it bought the computer for in the first place. Why should anyone have to learn about patching kernels, editing.

You could just as easily argue the opposite point, that many Linux users are sheep for jumping on the aint-it-cool free open-source anti-microsoft bandwagon. The idea that only Linux users think, while users of Microsoft products are sheep, is arrogant in the extreme. Would we then say that these people are more intelligent? Hell no, you'd take the piss out of them for being idiotic. Boiling a kettle is a pretty easy task, does that mean everyone should rush out and buy more complicated kettles. You speak about "ease of use" as if that is a bad thing. I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with you. That's why Linux as a social tool is far more important than Linux as a technological tool. And the minority, who is against the conventions of 'mainstream' will keep on using Linux.
If the whole effort from corporations to make everybody's life 'easier' by taking away the efforrt you put in thinking companies like MS will always exist. It is sad, but that does not mean that Linux will disapear or become weak because there are people who read slashdot and actualy enjoy thinking. What does this mean? That the public does not want to spend time thinking or learning, thus the people won't assimilate a product that is differnet from what is mainstream, the companies, on the other hand, can - and do- tell the "people" what they want, ans that is what MS has always done, in Linux is the otherway around: people think of what they want. If any of us see in what the marketing is focused on any computer related thing we will find one common denominator: Ease of use.
Why? Because of the perception of the avareage american computer user. While it is true that MS is maybe at one of its more important moments, they are doing very well and none of the threats to its monoply will stop them, they will continue. The truth however, and saddly, is diferent. "Thanks to the venality of politics in America, Microsoft is riding high right now, but it is headed for the boneyard after all."
