WRONG!  And *this* is the key battle.

They have been to training. Every single person has been to Windows training. Generally this brainwa^Wtraining has been at school or college.

Also, everybody who asks for help at work is getting ambient Windows training. Everybody who has to use Windows at work is getting Windows training.

There is a reason any class I teach from now on is going to be using Linux, dammit.

Windows "Just Works!"

Well, unfortunately, that's partially true.

I recently gave a big, honking workstation to a friend's daughter so that she could do some graphic arts stuff. AMD64, 3GHz processor, big mem, huge drive, running Linux.

Gimp, fine.  Inkscape, fine.  IM, fine.

Web video -- problem.
