No, I would not rather be working on Windows. But I am afraid that I, and many others, are, unfortunately, forced to continue to work on Windows because something like SuSE - which I thought was finally "getting there" after many years - just doesn't cut the mustard.
That is of course difficult to discuss. If you feel SUSE Linux just doesn't serve all your needs, whereas Windows does, the choice is obvious. SUSE Linux serves all my business needs, and for business purposes I have been using exclusively SUSE Linux for about the last two years. We have recently started also equipping all laptops with Linux. Privately, I have a Windows machine for playing games.
I DON'T want to be working on Windows. But I have to. And this is what is making me so damn frustrated and making me angry. I thought that SuSE was what was going to get me out of the Windows mire - but I was wrong.
I think it's your choice. IMO, SUSE Linux was already at 9.3 a quite suitable alternative. A lot has improved with 10.1, and the teething problems that we're seeing are just that.
Linux is not Windows.
A well used cliche, but doesn't really explain anything.
Among other things it means it is pointless to compare the two like you did. Linux - SUSE or otherwise - is not a transparent replacement for Windows nor does it pretend to be. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
