Hmmm. Imagine that. I've been using OO Calc for 2 weeks now doing CDF
calculations on a spreadsheet of 128 columns by 53,000+ rows.

That's a few more than 10-20.

WOW - That's pretty good for OO software. 2 weeks to calculate a
spreadsheet with 128 columns and 53,000+ rows. Very nice. !!!!

He said he had been using the calculator for 2 weeks and not the
calculation, no wonder you advocate for vista which is in fact designed for
people like you.

Once again, your reading comprehension impairment is raising its ugly
head. The OP said he was using it for two weeks not, not that the
calculation took two weeks to complete. Stick with Windows; it's for
nymshifting moron trolls like you.

This coming from the Ubuntu Marketing Department trying to shove Ubuntu down
the throats of Vista users!!! HA HA HA

I will stick with Windows. That's where the money is. Not that piece of
crap Ubuntu that NOBODY wants.


Imagine, a FREE OS and FREE Office software that is on less than ONE PERCENT
of the desktops after all these years. You just can't admit that your
cherished products are crap in the real world.

Loser.

Latest figures are about 10 million Ubuntu users. Please try to keep up.

So assuming your figures are correct (which they probably are not), still
the desktop accounts for less than ONE PERCENT of Linux. This is after many
years of the product being FREE. Linux will never be more than a blip on
the radar of Operating Systems in the next 10+ years.

I am not worried about Ubuntu or Linux taking over. It will not.

It hasn't been ready for prime time for "many years". Try two.

I guess that's why all the stores around here are advertising the ****
out of netbooks and desktops with Ubuntu.

What will you do when you find out you're wrong?

My suggestion?
Take all Ubuntu installation disks you own and drench them with
lighter-fluid, then drop a match on the pile.

Until "the Desktop" accounts for greater than 50% of the Linux kernal,
it will never be anything but a hobby or server-room OS for those few
who use it exclusively.

In this thread, there are a lot of opinions masquerading as fact.

Imagine the inanity if we were to argue over which car was
"best". Arguing over which car would "take over"; or whether all
Toyota owners (say) should "drench them with lighter-fluid, then
drop a match..."

It's daft. People who love Windows are entitled to use and love
Windows. People who love Mac are entitled to use and love Mac.
People who love Linux are entitled to use and love Linux. And so
on for all operating systems.

It's not as if people using one operating system are going to
prevent people from using a different one.

In fact, the presence of competing operating systems is good for
everyone, because it keeps the motivation to improve. For
example, Linux spurred Windows to improve its security; Windows
spurred Linux to improve its GUI; and Apple/Mac spurred both to
improve their ease of use.

Just because I prefer Linux does not mean that I would not want
Windows to fail, nor would I want Mac to fail. A monopoly would
be bad for everyone.

These threads are about helping Windows users, not about
disparaging various operating systems. Let's stop throwing around
closed-minded nonsense and get on with life. Life's too important
to take seriously.
