Because as I said in the original post, there are hundereds of small things in Linux, even for experienced Linuxoids, that make life hard.
Are you KIDDING?
Hundreds is an insult! There are thousands! ;)
Have you tried using XP recently! :) Linux may have thousands of possible 'blips', but after cleaning up a Win XP SP2 PC recently, I still don't feel clean :( NVidia framerates are a mere distraction. There really is a class of user that put up with the worst of spyware, trojans, viruses (spelling?), rootkits, popups and what not. I undertook to clean a friends PC recently and I had honestly forgotten how bad it can be for a casual Windows user with a broadband connection.. Really, really depressing. 4 hours work to get a PC back to 'normal' and I honestly don't think they'll be able to defend themselves from being compromised again while they run Win32. It is getting truly outrageous out there. I'm so glad I don't have to jump through those hoops, but it still depresses me that people get such a negative impression of computing and networking by using a flawed OS. Cheers Pete PS Sorry to destroy the humour in your post, but I' ve got a point to make dagnabbit! :)
