Amen to that.
Adding insult to injury, I am amazed at how many distros pat themselves
on the back for being "just like Windows."
I have to wonder what percentage of the folks who migrate from Windows to
such distros will actually return to Windows when either:
a) they discover that the distro is not a Windows clone
or
b) their friends are not making the switch
or
c) the crap software they bought off the shelf won't run on Linux
or
(roll your own excuses)
