well, for what it's worth (not much) I don't think anyone should apologize for
using Bill's monstrosity, Windows.
All the super-sophisticated Linux community will disagree, but it's simply TOO
HARD to give up Windows and all the parts of it that work.
I'm sure somewhere in my dual-boot Linux distro there are equivalents for Task
Manager, streaming radio, ULead Movie Studio, screen savers, desktop
background, and all the other stuff that does not work right in Windows, but at
least I can find it.
A long time ago I was a command-line pro (DOS 3.3), and a barely-adequate C
programmer. I can still (sort-of) do these tasks, but mostly it's just too
much trouble.
Bottom line? Computers are not done yet, and they probly won't be, ever. I'll
settle for an appliance that works most of the time, and when it does not, I
reboot.
(FlightGear works fine in Windows; all I did was download the binaries. No
thought required).
