Re: Seriously???
Obviously, open source software. For an operating system, Linux is a good start. The kernel and associated shells and tools are continuously being improved and tested by a huge global community.
Predictable answer. Spare me the evangelism - I've heard it all before.
I'm no fan of Windows 8, but I'd use it all day long before I'd resort to Linux.
I'm ignoring the rest of your post - you started off criticising a consumer OS and next thing you're going on about how great OpenVMS is... Apples and oranges.
As for the future, I am enlightened enough to know that I cannot predict it.
You missed my sarcasm. I wasn't really suggesting you're enlightened.
