You must be living in an old abandoned mine if you really think Linux gone

no where. It has bene continuually growing over the years and has gotten

beter and more and more people have switched to it (partly due to Vista no

doubt.)

It's used for servers a plenty, but its no logner *just* for thme so stop

trying to portray your clouded vision as reality, because it's far from it.

Computers and typical house hold applicances are two differnt breeds of

animals. In computers, to really do anything useful, you must know what you

are doing. Becasue of Windows, you have hords of clueless morons who

continuely whine to tech support lines and can't even describe their

problem.

 

why *shouldn't* computer users have *some* education so they aren't just

utter clueless? One should have at least a basic idea of how things work in

order to use it.

True. But the big difference is the frequency at which such dumb things

happen.

And it's even more ridiculous for an MVP to do exactly the same thing

that he has loudly complained about another poster doing! Just making
