Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

The tests, which found that Windows performed as well as Linux on legacy hardware when installed and run out-of-the-box, were done in part to give Microsoft the data it needed to effectively "put to rest the myth that Linux can run on anything."
Depends on what sort of install you did... Windows has a lot of services that should be disabled if you don't need them.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Hah. My brother had WinXP installed out-of-the-box on a 233 MHz machine. The thing literally took 10 minutes to finish logging in.

He reminds me of Warrior in his blind defense of Windows. Except my dad has "statistics" (from inside of M$ internally) that "prove" me wrong.
My dad has used Unix since the early 1980's so he has experience in both hardcore Unix / Windows usage in the server/desktop environment, seeing as how my dad had jumped on the Microsoft bandwagon mid 1990s and was one of the beta testers for many early M$ products (including Visual Studio and Win95, both of the beta CDs I have seen) before M$ exploded and became massively famous and huge.
Does Windows run as good as Linux on legacy hardware? Microsoft says... yes?. QuoteThe tests, which found that Windows performed as well as Linux on legacy hardware when installed and run out-of-the-box, were done in part to give Microsoft the data it needed to effectively "put to rest the myth that Linux can run on anything."Of course, Linux responded with a list of distros that run well on legacy hardwareAs usual, Microsoft is trying to pat themselves on the back and making ridiculous claims. I run Linux on 233mhz and 300mhz boxes and it runs great (unless you try to run OpenOffice or Eclipse or other stupid stuff). I also run Windows on a 500mhz box and it runs like shit. So who's right?
Funny how Microsoft is limited to being installed and run out-of-the-box yet Linux is allowed to use distros specifically designed for older hardware? Give me a break~
They're the ones that specified the setup. You can't blame anyone zorm.
It sepcifically stated out-of-the-box.Also, "Linux" doesn't refer to a single operating system. It refers to a collective group of distributions that use the same kernel. That's the flaw in your analogy.
