But you are right, its not the OS, but the user mainly.. Anyways, you are very ignorant yourself, since you dont believe that there is any reason why regular people should use linux. I myself had never tried Windows untill 2 years ago (windows xp), i dual booted the thing, and i got so confused trying to install Windows, i mean, the format tool is very confusing in Windows, not very good design, and i hated that i had to go to the internet to find all the apps that i needed, instead of going into the synaptic GUI. Also, whats up with the bluetooth assistant? I couldnt make any of my stuff work, even with the support of our local IT consultant at school, my wireless music (Sony MBR-100), and my cellphone (sony w580i) wouldnt work with xp nor windows 7.. I also caught a virus trying to download some driver for my soundcard under xp, but thats probably just me not knowing the right pages to visit to find drivers.. Never had to under linux.. Anyways, even though you bored the crap out of me, i still had the courtesy to read all of your post, to be able to make a fully informed comment to respond you.. I dont hate windows at all, i like that there are many games for it, but for working, i like my Linux computer, it just makes accessibility way better with compiz (no, not for the eye candy, but for the good overview) I got an old computer (1.6 ghz, 64 mb ram) with a personally build version of linux, this boots up in 36 seconds..

A lot of people do think Linux is in direct competition with Windows, but the reality is they are two different beasts that solve two different problems. Great read.

Rajagopal Rhane, Maharshtra, India After waging a nuclear war against m$win for about … years with users and after a cold war , I have somewhat managed to get the users to know what stable computing means with (of course) linux in FC3 and Centos5 incarnations in one small speck of the GPS in the +0530 timezone. quite a few of them have indeed installed at least openoffice and some even Linux. though it required a bit of extra effort from my side, they feel safe and comfortable now.

Actually m$ just needs exist for free software and linux and open source to thrive…

I confess that I know only a few words in languages other than English. I appreciate and respect that this author and others makes an effort to communicate in a language that is second or third for him. And like other who have responded, I have found the article understandable and informative.

Since that effectively defeats the purpose of the article itself, it is simply not worth reading.
