Perhaps because it's not mythology? Despite all the awesome advances
we've seen in the last decade, this continues to be accurate.
Depends. If all you want is e-mail and web browsing, that's not
necessarily
true. The problems always come up when you want 3D graphics or to access
your
digital video camera, etc.
Linux-based operating systems serve geeks and simple users well. It's that
80%
of users in the middle that are harder to deal with.
