This reply is way off topic, but this is so right on. When I seriously
started using Linux, I had grown sort of agitated and alienated from
computers for awhile. I had started using a PC because I was studying
computer science and had to program in DOS. The only fun I really had
was inside of Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++ and Fractint.
As soon as I started using Linux as my primary OS, I realized how much
fun computing really is and that I hadn't had so much fun with a
computer since I gave my old Mac to my Mom. My Mom herself really hated
computers, until I gave her the Mac and hooked it up to the Internet for
her. Now she's addicted.
It is my professional opinion ;-) that Windows simply robs a user of
most of the joy that they can feel with using a computer.
