They expect to view a video sent by a friend by clicking on the

codecs, and frequently never being able to play everything they can
effortlessly play on windows. They expect application programs to
play
music, etc. to be user friendly, not "Wizard" friendly.
So Respected Sir GaryCarr .. acoording to your statements can u
justify Linux? after reading you statements that are of course true
can we suggest Linux instead of Windows?

I have many friends and my wife to work with because they all use
Windows or a Mac. They never even thought about Linux. 10 years ago it
was hard to get X Windows to work, much less be better than Windows.
Today with F7, it is much easier to install, and a lot like Windows XP.
But there are a lot of questions asked by the loader that are Greek to
my wife and friends. So loading is a event not enjoyed.
Once loaded and operational there are a lot of things the Windows
user wants to find and many can't because in Linux the name is
different. It goes on and the only one you get using Linux is the person
who likes computers. This is a tiny subset of those that use computers.
