This is the kind of reasoning that brings Mac's market share to around 5% worldwide, close to 10% in the US, whereas Linux, also with a *NIX based OS, has been hovering around 1% worldwide FOR YEARS. So, when you call TV stations to inquire why they don't support Linux, they answer: "We support Windows because 94% of our users use it. Hey, we even support Mas with 5%. But Linux, with 1%... Are you really serious? Should we lose your time on irrelevant matters?" In the end, you'll end up browsing the web with the equivalent of Lynx. Your opinion I've heard a thousand of times. It's really no use to repeat it. It's a loser's definition that claims that making things voluntarily harder for newbies is the way to go. Linux, as we know, can't go wrong. Thanks for your contribution, Craig! You make lots of sense. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
