Here I am really offended.. common man... don't be ridiculous.. give out the number man.. say 84% of 1100 users... titles like this reminds me of an old joke...

Luser Son : Dad... I came first in the race... YEY!!! YEY!!![Imagine a drunken monkey dancing, wearing a pingu logo]

Smart Daddy : Hmmm... that's darn strange... tell me son... how many people were in the race?

Luser Son :....Starts sobbin...and then.. crying out loud..

Smart Daddy : Oh.. now wat..? why are you crying?

Luser Son : ... still crying.. there was no race.. I just made it up to get some attention..

Now you decide.. whether you want to laugh.. or cry .. its upto you...

You have been warned!!!

On a serious note.. common man.. don't ride that wave.. find me something real.. see Live both the worlds.. and then talk.. I still use Ubuntu when I need to do certain *things* but in my daily routine[Mostly to earn my bread and to buy expensive gadgets :D] I can't use Ubuntu.. it just doesn't fit in there. Yes, if I could not afford Windows.. I will quietly use Ubuntu but then would not crib about how bad Windows is.[This one is not for you, it is for general users I know you can easily afford Windows]

 

See.. I own a Santro.. and I would love to have a Scorpio... does it mean that I go all 'ga ga' about how expensive Scorpio is.. or how expensive its parts are.. and how much I get hurt in my rear end when I see one ruling the road? No.. I don't do that.. what I do is.. I work harder... I sharpen my skills.. I work on my reputation as a software consultant.. basically I do fit gaps which will help me earn more money and in turn to own a Scorpio... in the similar fashion.. if Linux is SO great... then eventually it will happen.. if you want to show the world that Linux is better... you don't have to sh*tmouth Windows.. right? Do you remember that story.. we all learnt when we were growing? That small line - big line? You don't have to erase your opponents line.. just draw yourself a bigger one.. and there you go.. the world is your oyster...

 

Alright.. finally..(Yeah without try...catch you remember notepad btw? Try Everything... Throw Nothing.. :D), you are a good friend and an intelligent man and I respect that... but when you write your point use right arguments, data points and fact finders otherwise people will stop believing you. Again, I think a year and half ago, I asked you to get me a list of 10 large organizations say with 50K+ employees where Windows is not being used at all, by any means?

 

You know what? to make this challenge really interesting.. let me add some more spice to it.. if you can find me one such an organization.. I will quit my job.. really.. I promise.. you dare to accept it? :-/
