Linux: Low end capable does not mean inferior
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the things that Microsoft has been silently beating Linux over the
| head with for the past couple of years is that, since Linux works so well on
| older, and lower end PC's, it is an inferior, obsolete, and outdated OS. I
| find FUD like this to be a bit annoying, as the inverse is true of Windows.
| An OS that is so bloated, resource hungry, and restrictive that it can only
| run on high end PC's does not mean it's a superior OS. In fact, I'd say
| that's quite the opposite.
|
| [...]
|
| Now, I'm not here to bash Microsoft, per se. But I did at least want to
| silence this long standing stream of blatant and fabricated FUD and lies
| pushed persistently forward by Microsoft. The truth should dominate, and if
| it doesn't, then we need to make sure it does.

Windows Vista's Constant HD Activity Craziness
,----[ Quote ]
| Any user that has used Windows XP and updating to Vista will notice one
| thing: In Vista, your hard drive thinks it's a bewitched lawnmower – it's
| always active. Even after all startup programs are loaded, the HD is still
| active: Vista's Constant HD Activity Craziness.
