Yo, Keith - On behalf of the segment of the Canadian populace with IQ's a tad higher than our shoe sizes, i'd like to join you in giving "Mr.Guelph" a full-out raspberry! Good gods, you'd think he worked for Redmond... <rant on> This kind of crap annoys me utterly. First off, over 1/2 of the usability factors this jackass mentions are the direct responsibility of system administrators. If these happen to be users, they should know the difference between their PCI bus and their ttyS0. If they don't, let them eat BeOS! 8) Secondly, most of those usability factors aren't even touched by M$. My partner uses Linux very well, and is by no means a geek. She's taken the time to learn to use it because, in brief, it beats the hell out of waiting for the BSoD to wipe out 3 hours' worth of work. I'm sure a number of us have SO's who have made, or are making the transition. The results are worth the time and effort invested. Marketability? To whom? I have a friend who's looking for a server package that doesn't require her to mortgage her house! Apache sells itself, and for free. Same with a number of other packages. The problem, if there be any, is documentation. This - and this alone - is where Linux fails. Thanks for bringing it to our attention - nice to know what we're up against!
