I used to be naive too, thinking Unix was better in all respects. Then got a

and build on that to make what you want, however that is also it's downfall.
The average PC user just about knows how to turn it on, write a document,
browse the web and print.
Explaining to a computer user non-technical how/why/when to install software
using the ports and make or even pkg_add -r and for them to grasp this
concept is where Windows (OS/X also) is by far the 'better' OS for these
people, which is more than 90% of the population.
THAT's no way to sell computers! Come on man, how's that *Nix Store going
to survive with a sale line like that???
