Another "fine" example of "Linux advocacy" from Quark.

This "dual booting" may have a use not mentioned. If your machine
has been rooted, can you start your Linux, examine your HD boot sector,
and see it? ??

That's the Linux advocate way!
If you are not 100 percent with them, you are against them and thus are the
enemy.

Linux advocacy has all the trappings of a cult.

Excellent. We should be able to have a Microsoft monopoly
in .NET any day now. .NET is an excellent technology, but
for its patent issues.

(Java is older but better established, of course, and might have
a better optimizer. I frankly don't know how to compare the two
properly.)

How does one boycott IBM? They don't even *have* a desktop
or laptop division anymore; Lenovo is somewhere in China.

That's nice. But what does the customer want?

Windows has a minimal presence in the cluster/supercomputing field
because the customers in these areas know exactly what they want and, in
many cases, build it themselves.

I suppose Microsoft can ship such dual boot systems now and claim a
greater Windows presence in this market niche.

How do you get "choice is not good" from "dual booting is good", you
stupid fscking POS?

Poor Rick. Still the COLA butt boy. Where did I say anything bad about
Linux? I said that Roy and the morons will now diss IBM for increasing
choice on Super Computers. Try to read what is written for a change.

An interesting mess. Apparently we've been getting on
the Wintrools' case regarding their comments of "too many
Linux distros"; Hadron apparently is attempting to turn
the tables. Unfortunately, all he's done with the tables
in this case is budge them a bit...and not usefully.

As it is, any Linux system can run Windows, if one installs
VmWare on it. :-) Presumably, this includes supercomputers.

(At some point, of course, one has to ask "why bother". There
are better solutions if one wants a server.)

I know exactly what that stinking bowl of vomit Quack is trying to do.

He is again dishonestly charging the advocates of "hypocrisy". In
this case, implying that the advocates think "choice is good unless
one of those choices is Microsoft", which is a position that I have
NEVER seen an advocate express, and which I do not believe ANY
advocate thinks.

But I would not doubt if that fscking asshole will follow-up to this
massage with some vile, fsckwitted, dishonest misinterpretation of
what someone said, in defense of his "case".

Indeed. The trolling Windolts often try to project their evil traits
- a desire to dominate and control - onto the advocates of freedom and
choice. Ridiculous, obviously.
