Re: The Crushing Truth: Linux

"Explain him why in his Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Fedora cannot see many web pages: he must download the Flash and the Java plugin, in order then to install them with complicated commands. Also make him know that he won't be able to listen its MP3, WMA and WMV files. Tell to the flaming buyer of a new AMD64 how he can play flash games.A shit."

I call BS. Last time I ran Windows I indeed had to install both a flash plugin and a java plugin in order to get those things going. While I didn't have to install an MP3 codec, I sure had to install codecs for a lot of other media formats (xvid to name one). Furthermore I my self have an AMD64 and I can play flash games just fine, since I have 32bit installation. Sure flash and a few other things are holding me back a bit, but I hear 64bit Windows isn't all that perfect eighter.
