What would Al Gore use?
,----[ Quote ]
| But the movie was 3 years ago, what does
| Al Gore use now? According to
| netcraft.com, algore.com uses Linux.
| Surely if Microsoft Windows was really
| âthe new efficiencyâhe would have
| switched. Sorry Mr. Ballmer, the Linux
| grass is greener.

Linux and windows stereotypes.
,----[ Quote ]
| In our lives we tend to apply stereotypes.
| Everyone has a stereotype for their work,
| ethnic persuasion or geographical
| location. Particularly in the computing
| industry there exists, often spiteful,
| stereotypes between windows and Linux
| advocates. They not only have stereotypes
| for the 'other side' so to speak but also
| for themselves.
|
| Stereotypes are a brand that everyone does
| not like to be compared to, however, like
| myths, there is often a germ of truth.
| Cops like doughnuts, postmen are scared of
| dogs, Europeans are wimps and Americans
| are crass. Well I like doughnuts but I am
| not a policeman. A lot of my friends are
| scared of dogs. Anyone who watches sports
| will know that Europeans are definitely
| not wimps and I know a lot of very nice
| and cultured Americans.

|
| Linux stereotypes for themselves.
|
| * Linux is the best thing since sliced
| bread.
| * It is so easy to use that Grandma
| can use it.
| * It is Enterprise ready and can
| handle all business needs.
| * They believe that software should be
| free for everyone to use and modify.
| * Linux is more secure than windows
| and doesn't suffer from virus's and
| malware.
| * They contribute to Linux because
| they want to.
|
| Linux stereotypes for windows.
|
| * Windows users are dumb and
| uneducated.
| * They throw away money for a second
| rate operating system.
| * Windows crashes every second day and
| has to be reloaded all of the time.
| * Windows is not secure and full of
| viruses and malware.
| * Windows users are obnoxious and
| spread FUD all the time.
| * Microsoft only cares about making a
| profit.

Al Gore's Convenient Presentation
,----[ Quote ]
| Not one of Gore's slides contains a title and bullet points, the
| standard template found in Microsoft's (MSFT) PowerPoint software.
| One reason, of course, is because Gore is using the powerful Apple
| presentation software, Keynote. But most of the world uses
| PowerPoint, so keep in mind that it, too, is a tool that can
| be used effectively. Unfortunately, most slides are boring
| instead of dynamic. Engaging slides have few or no bullets.
