Case in point: I wanted to throw Windoze out of my house and embrace
linux only. I'm a computer geek and have been using RHL since 5.2. I
found that it's impossible, because linux doesn't do everythign that I
want an OS to do. I *still* can't get my videos off of my camcorder and
create DVD's for them on FC2. I *still* can't get all of my digital pics
of of my various digital cameras and do everythign I want to with them on
FC2. And believe me, I tried. Yet, though I am a linux advocate, though
I have finally convinced my boss to trash windows on our servers at work,
I find that I have to retain Windows at home. Why? Because the apps I
mentioned above *just work*. That's why.
And if *I* am still forced to use Windoze, you can bet your bottom dollar
that the average person on the street is going to have to continue to use
it as well.
Just my $0.02 US,
Ben
Well said!
