As to my personal experience between Windows and Linux perhaps I
should take a step back and be more fair. When I went into Linux I
*wanted* to see what it was like. When I went into Win XP I didn't
*want* things to be moved around. So, from a psychological standpoint
that may have immediately caused a 'bias' in my experience. With that
bias in mind, I am being totally honest in saying that my experience
of going between Linux versions (Red Hat, Fedora Core, Mandrake,
Ubuntu.... and upgrades to those) has been easier and more logical
than what I've experienced with Windows versions. This is not FUD -
this is my personal experience. As a result, I find MS (or others')
claims that switching to Linux would be a big learning curve to be
hollow and without merit. My perspective is, of course, biased. Others
may not have had the same experience.
Ditto here. I use w2K, and only occasionally have to work on XPs, and
when I do it's like WHERE THE HELL DID THEY MOVE THE <appropriate
software> TO? *WHY* DID THEY MOVE IT? It's annoying as hell. They've
moved ODBC 3 times, since w98, and on XP, I really don't know how to
find it without starting up Control panel and putting it into classic
mode. (To be fair, I haven't TRIED all that hard, either, <petulant
whine>it's just damn annoying.</petulant whine>
