My home computers are 100% MS-free and suffer the same basic problem. The difference is in degree, not kind. Run OpenOffice lately? > Ubuntu linux + chrome + emacs = no lag. Lag enough to make me retch. > I don't think... any computer is immune to the problems of network latencies. The post was not about individual computers, but about computer systems. That the whole world is on a lunatic lemming-march back to the days of timesharing does not excuse the results. Network latency should have no bearing on the performance of a word processor. That we have built ones where it routinely does is idiocy of the purest sort.
