Microsoft: When it crashes, you insert the software CD, and somehow you will get going again. Fedora&RedHat: When it crashes, you insert the software CD, but instead of the situation above, most of your work is lost !
I don't really think this is it. Whenever I talk with people about this the two things I hear are: 1. Compatibility; "Everyone else uses Word, so I must too." 2. Some feature in an MS or Windows app. that they like (track changes in Word is often cited). For some people you can add games, the belief that Windows must be better as it's so widely used and the belief that Linux is hard to use. Your example is a specific demonstration of that last item, and whether it's true or not my experience. Is that people only try to come up with specifics when they're trying to justify this general belief. -- imalone
