Windows 8 vs. Windows 7 Performance

[longship]

58. I have helped out enough Windows users throughout the years.

They were all bleating about the multitude of malware that the monumentally insecure WinBlows is subject to.

The last time was last month when a friend who likes pron, got himself a nasty nasty infection from a pron site. I researched this particular devilish monster. The fix was extremely complex and it would have likely rendered the OS less than fully functional. So, the recommendation was a total reinstall from nothing.

After 15 years I have had nothing but reliable, fast operations from all my computers -- and I have had many. Not a single case of malware. They just work. One of my little servers ran for seven years without a reboot, in spite of numerous server software upgrades. Try that on Microsoft -- reboot if you want to blink -- Windows.

Microsoft is just poor damned engineering.

Not one OS crash in 15 years.

And the X Window System doesn't require a command line. It hasn't for years. Still, the BASH shell is no ordinary command line. It does things Windows users cannot even dream about.

No offense, friend, but before you malign a technology it would be better if you knew something about it.
