En los foros de Zdnet alguien posteo este texto, está en inglés, puede que mas adelante lo traduzca, pero bueno, para los que conocen el idioma, va a ser como leer un chiste.
“You are kidding arent you ?
Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions”
Impresionante, para los que no saben inglés les comento que el usuario a lo largo del texto asegura que Linux no puede correr en una computadora sin Windows, porque según él necesita de algunas partes del sistema operativo de Microsoft para llevar a cabo los procesos cruciales, lo peor de todo es que dice que todas las computadoras vienen con Windows de fabrica por esta razón, y lo mas divertido es cuando asegura que Apple ha intentado crear un sistema propio por años, pero al final no lo logró y decidió pasarse a Windows, un gran humorista!
