Re: KDE/cygwin replaced my explorer.exe

I must agree with this guy... Microsoft has ripped off everyone elses ideas. Just look at some of the changes in Windows XP for example... grouping of windows, tab-completion on the command line, the ipv6 programs... all of it is just like linux has had for years. However, i can't complain. Windows XP is a great operating system (granted that you run it on compatible hardware, configure it correctly, and don't do anything to make it unstable). And yes, linux is very much so a server OS, and a great one at that. But by all means, don't call linux users douchebags and fags, thats just a disrespect to the father of microsoft software. Oh, and about your comment of linux in 1996... it WAS better than DOS.

> grouping of windows

uh, "linux" didn't have this "for years". OS/2 had something like it. The KDE developers saw a screenshot of a beta of WindowsXP and implemented into KDE (incidently, before windowsxp came out).

> tab-completion on the command line

uh.... "linux" doesn't have this also. shells do.

> the ipv6 programs.

heh, i guess using your logic, linux ripped off bsd and unix's ipv4 support/programs.

come on, ipv6 is a standard that has to be implemented by everyone, heh.

Hey dumbass, before you start claming something you should get your facts straightened out. First of all it was Microsoft that was on the development team for OS2 and not the Linus Torvald so in a matter of speaking Microsoft stole something from IBM and not linux. Second of all linux is an evolution/based on the Minix OS and has nothign to do with Windows and third of all the delopment of KDE 3.1 started long before that of Windows XP. So now YOU tell me if someone stole the pressious XP look (which by the way the majority of the IT comunity hated at first). Oh yeah and before you really start jundging which OS is better I really think that you should get some more experience in both Linux and Windows.

Enought of teenage assholes who don't know shit about shit but think that they are great because they just read one of the best articles in their lives.

PS. (Man you must've really pissed me off) And if you really had some experience with KDE 3.1 you would know that KDE is actually ahead of Windows XP at the moment. So good luck and have a nice life SHEEP!
