Post by: ..::Merlyn::.. on July 21, 2010, 06:37:17 PM: i think that if you look on peoples names that you'd see "Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP" are most common...

Just a thought.

I've never heard of this Lunix OS.

"LUnix is a Unix-like operating system for the Commodore 64, a popular home computer of the 1980s. It supports TCP/IP networking (SLIP or PPP using an RS232 interface). Unlike most Unix-like systems, LUnix is written in 6502 assembly language instead of C."

Also, you gotta love C, why, if it wasn't for C, we would have had to deal with programs written in BASI, PASAL, and OLBOL. I don't want to live in that world. ;D

Post by: RubiK on July 26, 2010, 07:50:13 AM: Personally, I don't agree with the term "Windows variant" - Windows is the OS, there is no variants and what-not.

However, being Microsoft certified, I have to go with Windows, although I do have a machine running Ubuntu and love it.

Good clarification on how it was stated.
