Something tells me, Phil, that you're not one of the millions of people who
use computers every day without understanding anything about them. My
guess is that your response to the thought of such people is "Well, they
should." But the world doesn't go round that way. As long as I've been
around UNIX the UNIX folks have argued that it is a better operating
system. They are right but the reason that it is not mainstream is not the
fault of Microsoft; it is the "fault" of those consumers that want to use
computers, not understand them.
BTW, I tend to feel the same way you do about computer users who are
"driving without a license" but something simply "are."
