Photoshop (the gimp sux btw) & Sonar (& video capture & Office) - Yes I tried the free unix 'equivalents' and found they were not equivalent at all.

Then theres stability & ease of use - on top of advertised features that dont even put them in the same class IMO.

Don't get me wrong, Im far from a M$ fanboy - but I tried *nix based on the many comments like yours and found it to not be true. I had no problems installing linux, except for some things like my video capture card, sound card, some other USB devices - and well - 'to live with out' stuff I purchased but not able to use in a 'free' environment was not acceptable for me. The money spent on Win apps I found to be worth it. I use these things for more than hobby btw. So maybe for a hobbiest to deal with the 'little' quirks are ok, its not for me, and equates to lost $$$$ in the long run.

I DO wish the above was not true, but I wont lie to spite M$ either.

yup - I see this ALL the time too - Id say more like 97% tho.

This is also the reason for allot of users getting infected with spyware and adware. When they are searching for there daily porn session on there brand new 3000.00 dell they start clicking everything that pops up and install all kinds of crap. I have had to clean and repair my brothers PC, I sold it to him and I won't do that again, so many times I lost track. I have been over there before because they said " it just seems slow for some reason..lol, and they had every toolbar and every search buddy crap known to man installed at one time. I can't talk them out of installing AOL, they say they like the easy access to all that crap.

Unfortunately wishes don't come true, if it did come true, you would have and overflow of internal bleeding coming out your tiny-little red-raped asshole.

but it doesn't!! so why don't you go and play your CS:S and wish for an extra ammo clip for your Dessert Eagle and a nice blue-tooth knive, so you can stab people arround corners. It wount happen!! wishes, only exists in your dream place where you are a administrator for a shop that sell bargin-bagged-penises.

"ban this dude, please" seems that we have a problem here, !!
and it seems like its yours, either you have a fetish in asking stuf that is pointless, or you have Acne on your ball-sack.

goodluck

I actually had some pretty good stuff that I was going to reply with. After a couple of seconds went buy and I quit laughing then I realized there is no reason for me to say anything. You make yourself look bad enough and as long as you keep posting like you are then you won't be here long anyhow.
