[VERY OT] Thoughts of a thread

I have seen for about 2 days now the thread about Linux is not ready for
the desktop and I feel that I need to say a few off topic words.
Clearly it appears that this thread was troll bait. I'm sure that this
one will get a few as well but it is not intended to be. So here goes
<RANT MODE ACTIVATE>
Alot of people are from what it looks like to me whinning about how
Linux is not like Windows. Well it isn't and even though it might get
the look and feel similar to windows. I genuinely wonder if some people
on this list have the ambition to learn something new. It seems that
they don't. All I hear about is how Windows is better or Windows can do
this and Windows can do that. If Windows works for you then stay with
windows and thank you for trying Linux! Have a good day! I will admit
that there are things that Windows can do that Linux does not have the
functionality to do right now. Like play a few games that I cannot get
to work under Wine/WineX. But there will come a time that I will be able
to run them under Linux so in the mean time, I go about my life with the
two on my same HDD. Please all that I am trying to say is here is that
you need to recognize the differences and learn them. Like Yoda said in
the Empire Strikes Back movie I qoute "You must unlearned what you have
learned" also "No! Do or do not. Ther is no try." When you take the
approach of ok I will learn some of the differences and work with them,
you might be a little happier in the long run. Linux seems to work for
me and that is great. If MS works for you that is fine too. Just please
quit with the belly aching. If it is that hard, please ask for help
besides whining that it doesn't work but it works under Windows. If the
list is too slow, Call in for paid support. There are options to try
and help you with your issue. I do wish to offend but I (personally)
have had enough of this and we need to focus on helping out people with
Linux problems and finding solutions instead of complaining!
