I'm not going to post much, lest I get out of hand. But here we go.

So why isnt it good to go ? I mean it *should* be good to go. I know that most linux distro's are good to go. But they dont cost me anything like ms software does.
Install a defalt fedora core 3 installation, and then look at the running services/ports and the like on startup. Install Redhat 7 (which came out with XP, IIRC), and notice even after PATCHING that it still has a lot of unaddressed bugs with the dev responce "upgrade to 8, or fedora".

Sometimes the work that goes into fixing something isn't worth the trouble due to the closing effects. Maybe they had a bad beginning coding team, and have since fired them, but still have to live with the effects?


Why is it that most of MS action is buying another company. I mean how hard is it too make a good antimalware program on themselves. The small ones are poping out all around them. They do sells the largest and best selling os on this planet right. That means they should be able to write it themselves.
So let me get this straight. You would also want Ford to make their own tires from scratch instead of use one from a company they have a deal/own? Like Goodyear? Why continue reinventing the wheel when someone already has a solid idea and product, and you can expand further upon it. Stand upon the shoulders of giants and you can get farther than they did because of their wisdom combined with yours.

That's not only a basic buisness stradegy, It Just Makes Sense too.
