And can you also use the notepad clone to surf in
the Internet like you can do with the original?

(Open the help window in notepad, right click on the on
the title bar and select "goto URL").

Useless for coding anything more then a routine now and then. Cannot code
a complete app in that thing. What you __confess__ to btw, when you say
you prefer C. Cannot become one with that syntax and be creative. You are
just provoking, because you know damn well that RosAsm is the only
assembler worthy coding apps with. :)

I use an OS for the fun of it, for reading documents, for experimenting
with technology and for learning, for watching movies, listening to music,
audio and video podcasts, and audiobooks. And for chatting and searching
the web. This is also what 90% of user do.

So they do not need windows anymore, either.

Because all of this is available for free in Linux, and the one disto I
have does this many times more efficient then windows. But it costs and
arm and a leg if you do it with windows. Ubuntu is free, and it promises
to remain free. And the speed it is evolving at is terrific. By the end of
this decade, even Bill Gates will prefer Linux.

It is pretty obvious, that you come to this conclusion just because
you limit yourself to the use of windela only, and don't even look at
what is available for assembly.

Yes if everyone would *have to* use windela, they would use the
"Volkswagen" C (a much better comparison), and not the Ferrari
Assembly, or more likely would write their own Assemblers.

I don't know what IDEs are available for Linux, but in Windows those
who do use Assembly, either use RosAsm with its integrated IDE, or
RadAsm which is a great IDE configurable for all Assemblers around,
where you can add Menus, Dialog Boxes or any other Resource very
easily to your Assembly project, and nicely manage your source files.

If you'd bother to take a look at RadAsm, you would not make that
absurd statement again!

With such a Programming environment, who would use a Volkswagen when
he gets a Ferrari for free!

To say it with Betov's words: show me your applications written in assembly!

i also got a free copy of Ubuntu 7 , i have not installed it though, i
am still looking for a good virtual software so that i can have
windows and linux on one machine sooner
