You must be a bit strange in the head to think that, or you've been sucked in with all the colourful gradients microsoft have used to make a bad product look good. Plus who wants a pile of links down the side clogging up your precious screen space. As someone earlier said "If it ain't any good, at least make it look good". Or something along those lines
theory, stability, HELP (from around the world), input (that is taken seriously), customization, reliability, functionality...just to name a few.Lord Kalthorn said:Lol; yeah. However, what does the Open-Source Community have different that Microsoft has other than Theory?
