David W. Lovell once said,

if you think about it, 99% sucks major ass.

>I guess they are just a fluke eh?

i can get 99% on my win95 box.

with linux you don't need poorly-written third party software.

i don't know what this means.  maybe you mean it's unstable if you're
using "unstable" releases of software.

>Since NT has the majority share of the market, the

at least with linux, you're free to fix the software yourself.

>Then again, linux has a bunch of overzealous people making false claims

as far as i'm concerned, my claims are true, and isn't that what
matters anyway?

>since they are angry at Microsoft

overcharging for an inferior product, sure.

>and thus are being long
>overlooked by businesses as a fringe operating system. Too bad for Linux.

i don't see that as a problem for me--at least right now.
