A slight correction. Problem with any linux distro = revert to the pirated win2k/xp
remember there is monopoly and no transperent deals with windows.
Users, especially in India don't care about it. Infact, monopoly is seen as "You see, they're THAT good!"
if I am a programmer, I contribute in the development, and if the need is that urgent then I will hire a programming to do the job if I am a lay user.
As a programmer (at heart) I would love to have a choice of being able to thinker with the source code of the program. But when I'm using a tool to get work done I expect it to simply work. And for a normal user the thought of programming simply doesn't come up. If it doesn't work then it's broken and nothing can fix it. Where's that Windows that I'm used to. Atleast I can get things to work by doing a Ctrl+Alt+Del and restarting.
again the issue comes of cost. linux gives you complete freedom to do what ever you want with your copny wich windows crapware does not give.
Users do not care about that freedom. Some programmers do, but that too not all the time. Regards, -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.tk http://siddhesh.phpnet.us -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
