MS can't defeat Linux and Linux can't defeat MS
not sure this describes the situation...MS is defeating Linux constantly, it's not even a goal, it's a natural fact. Does 95% vs 1% answer any doubt you may have ? ;)

Linux desktop market share (always a guess, for the reason mentioned) has been reported to be as high as 12-14%

come on ::) this is laughable ;D
adding: and btw the 1% number is the result of web analysis of course :D ...and is probably relevant and acknowledged by most Linux communities and forums ;)
Here's just one article discussing Linux market share. You can easily find others on your own...

look crate, I don't think I'll bother ;D
did I share with you my Linux experience, not I didn't, you don't know anything and I don't feel like going into details, so yeah let's leave it there ::)
MS is certainly hurt but not where Linux as an operational system is concerned (the competition is only marginal), but where open software as a competitor is concerned.
Competition may remove the monopoly by microsoft.Us and EU filed against Microsoft because of greed and because they knew they could get away with it.
US filed against MS because of monopoly.

US filed against MS because of monopoly.
The only real monopoly is the government and unfortunately it's growing by leaps and bounds. >:(
Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed again Frank ??? Happy New Year :)Competition may remove the monopoly by microsoft.Us and EU filed against Microsoft because of greed and because they knew they could get away with it.

The EU is not part of the US, so up yours.
UBUNTU
KUBUNTU
LUBUNTU
XUBUNTU
The list seems growing. Linux is highly fragmented and there is no single tough competitor.
Can anyone tell me the difference between these?

Hmm.....
One of the great drawbacks of Linux is that novice users have a very hard time with it.
Hope I am right or correct me.
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'can't install Debian'
(BTW, I'm typing this from Debian Squeeze (testing), and you can read it, just as if I was using Windows. Cool, eh? Smiley)...that's all you got ???
@ Crate:

Wondering what you're doing on a Windows security software forum ::)
<snip>
Another thread here highlights my experience with a new computer that I purchased a year ago, that had Vista installed. Rather than erase it, I kept it around in a dual boot, and recently updated it to Windows 7 (which I like a lot, by the way). Frankly, I very seldom ever boot into Windows, but as long as I have it around, and since I still use Avast as one layer of my protection package, I periodically check in here to see what's going on. I've been a member around here since my XP dual boot days (Joining in 2005, I guess).
Ubuntu:I've only tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu in my old pc!
uses GNOME as its default GUI
Kubuntu:
uses KDE as desktop environment
Xubuntu:
uses Xfce as desktop environment
Lubuntu:
uses LXDE as desktop environment
and you're so ridiculous, you have no arguments whatsoever. I don't even think that you know Linux. You're the perfect newbie burning distro ISO's and switching, getting lost, and switching again...what you call testing :D You have no idea of what I was talking about, you haven't got a freaking clue, this is funny yeah...
ps: you're not even able to tell about the good things in Linux, which I could easily btw ;)
Debian “squeeze” Release Information
The code name for the next major Debian release after lenny is "squeeze". This release started as a copy of lenny, and is currently in a state called "testing".
You still do run into people who have an intense hatred for all things Linux, but generally, they're just people who are unwilling to fess up to the fact, that they're just not smarter than the operating system, and were beaten by it, when they tried it.

I can say that Ubuntu don't have desktop crash but kubuntu has time to time.
Ubuntu easier to use that kubuntu.
More people with Ubuntu for linux but still far from beating Microsoft because more or over 99% people are using Microsoft Operating system and Microsoft is easier to use and have more programs from it.

There are many other members on this forum who are just as knowledgeable as you. (Some might even be smarter... :) ) ( NO, not me. :-X )
Say what you think but give others credit for also having some knowledge.OK let's just say that people like Polonus, Pondus, Essexboy....these are some of the guys I respect here, nothing to do with their post count or how long ago they registered. I respect them and acknowledge their skills. And why do I do that? because it's relevant. What are the other cases where I don't do that? when it's not relevant. Don't make a caricature out of me Bob, I behave differently depending on who I'm talking to, and yeah, this forum mirrors the "outer" world, unsurprisingly ;)
Especially those that have been here quite a while even if they don't post as much as some of us. :)
The only thing that's really bad is that uninstalling Ubuntu can be... frustrating. I solved this case with a complete system format, though.

Son, when you're swinging in the wind, try not to talk. It just tightens the noose.
But frankly, you're cooked::)
