I don't think that really wins it for the average Joe on the street user...or (Jon's mum)..... it's almost becoming acceptable ( I don't condon this ) to have to reboot/reset the PC when windows crashes ....for a home its no big deal... but support is available for the average Joe at most crappy PC store. ... Try taking your SuSE machine to PC World (UK) and tell them you can't get Utah-GLX to compile with the Mesa 3D Libraries to play Quake 3 and watch the guy shit himself. Surjit

What are the fundamental differences between Linux and Windows these days? I can think of graphics, which is totally different, and disks/mount points which are handled differently. With Windows becoming network-ed (albeit badly), what genuine differences does that leave for the Linux community to exploit?
