This is a misleading statement. Better would be "the overall computer operating system and applications learning curve remains somewhat steep". This is why installfests still have their place. Be honest, it took you a long time to assemble your current Microsoft-related knowledge. Invest the same time into Linux, then make more statements :))) > list and face-to-face. Witness the never-ending torrent of questions > about Winmodems, video cards, wireless networking, and DVD and video > play-back. True. However, I doubt all that driver stuff being shipped on CDs accompanying various cards which you have bought in the shop always work, judging by reports I keep on hearing. In principle you're right with hardware compatibility problems though.
