Why not Linux? (WinXP + MS Office Pro cost P28,700)

[Aquaman123]

(Original) Microsoft Windows XP Professional = P 9,200+
vs
Linux (Fedora, OpenSuse, XandrosOCV, etc) = FREE!!!!

(Original) Microsoft Office 2003 Profesional Edition = P 19,500+
vs
OpenOffice = FREE!!!!


Kung may 2 pc ka:
Windows XP Pro w/ M$ Office = (9,200 + 19,500) X 2 = P 57,400 !!!!!
vs
Linux w/ OpenOffice = FREE!!!!!



Bakit ka gagastos ng 57,000 kung pwede naman pala libre?
Kung pirated pa XP mo baka makulong kapa

It's another mentality of branding of course... the other problem is the amount of support or widespread use of an OS or Application has... kungbaga kung Word gamit ng kasama ko... eh di mag Word nalang din ako... mas madali kopya ng assignment...

mag text editor nalang tayo lahat hahahahahaha....

OT: I already tried OpenOffice... it still needs some fixing... walang araw na hindi nahahang PC mo.... grrrr...

[Aquaman123]

the other problem is the amount of support

Statistics show that 71% of PC software being used in the Philippines in 2004 was Illegal. Pwede bang tumawag sa Microsoft for support kug pirated ang XP mo?

kungbaga kung Word gamit ng kasama ko... eh di mag Word nalang din ako... mas madali kopya ng assignment...

The new version 2.0 of OpenOffice is MS Office file compatible
have you tried StarOffice?

I already tried OpenOffice... it still needs some fixing... walang araw na hindi nahahang PC mo.... grrrr...

rephrase nalang... hindi support as in customer support kundi application support... parang ang analogy ko sa Word...

Both 1.0 and 2.0 naman are compatible. Nung sa 1.0, puro hang PC, minsan nasisira formatting ko. Sa 2.0 naman konti lang na ang problem. Yung naainis lang ako ay yung mga fonts at objects ko kasi... di mo alam kung ssan saan nagpupunta... pag simple word/excel naman okay siya. Dapat tangalin an ang iba pa niya bugs... hmmm... naisip ko dahil din cguro NT gamit ko...

Di ko pa nagamit StarOffice... mas okay ba?

hindi kaya magkandalecheleche ang computer naming mga walang gaanong alam sa computers kung mag linux ako?

[A121]

Nakagamit na ako ng Linux (Redhat 9). Ok syang OS. no hitches. kung pang internet at pang-type lang ang ginagawa mo sa pc mo. sobrang bulok lang ng kasamang open office. mabagal magload.

napahang ko na po ang Linux. nagkamali po ako sa isang programming task kaya naghang sya! hehehe.

ang problema sa kanya ay walang siyang masyadong support. for example, hindi ka pwedeng maglaro ng ragnarok, dota, gta, nba live dito. ndi rin po sya supported ang modem, videocam at digicam ko. (well ndi pa ako naghahanap ng mga ito) ndi rin sya gaanong user-friendly para sa mga sanay ng mag-windows.

Obsolete na ang Redhat Linux 9. Try mo Xandros, Fedora, OpenSuse

obsolete na or may bayad na at tinawag nang RHEL?

See, ang Linux eh sa mga taong maraming oras sa kanilang kamay. Pero kung regular user lang naman, eh bakit magpapalit pa ng open source? Hindi lahat ng user kse programmer at may time mangalikot ng Linux na yan. :evillaugh

RE: 71% os MS in PI is illegal copy, can you call MS for support.

I have yet to meet a person who actually call MS for support. They hope to find the needed support via the website, FREE.

As far as RHEL, you cant even do an update if you're version is not registered. And, you may only activate the product key once. Unlike MS Windows, kahit kaninong pinsan pedeng ibigay ang copy ng XP Pro. hahahahhaa

Sooner or later, yang mga open source na yan eh magiging MS na may bayad na. Look what happened to RedHat, the licensing is more expensive than Windows.

akala ko ba open source tapos ang application to view and run MS Proj eh may bayad? Sa umpisa libre, kapag madami na user, may licensing fee na, ayos! Everybody hates Bill Gates.

Pero handsdown ako sa mga nagtya-tyaga sa open source na yan.

Original) Microsoft Windows XP Professional = P 9,200+

8,000+ lang ang bili ko sa XP pro ko sa Villman makati..

Linux naku nahihilo ako dyan sa OS na yan..Meron sa skul namin yan sa i-nook..Nung sinubukan ko sa school ko yan nahirapan ako kung anu-ano yung mga programs nandun na hindi ko maintindihan.

same po pala tayong green and white! as i said before mozilla firefox lang ang alam kong gamitin na application sa linux!

for gaming i think better pa rin ang windows! big video card industry makers (nvidia and ati) still prefer the windows environment for gaming and video editing compared with linux dahil sa directx(di po ako fully sure), also most hardwares today sa pagkakaalam ko is designed for windows so driver compatibility issues are an annoyance if you are a full-time linux user. opinion ko lang po mga sirs.

[Josh0027]

I haven't tried newer versions of Linux pero I know Linux is way much better... wala pa gaano masyado applications kasi noon... kaya stuck lang mostly sa programming/shell applications.

[BlueBimmer]
