Much truth. Let's face it: We all tend to sneer at people who use
inferior operating systems when they whine about their computer problems.

OTOH, I've watched email lists about everything from sailing to
journalism get totally taken over by discussions of viruses, spyware,
and other Windows problems. Linux now offers a much more trouble-free
computing/Internet experience than Windows once you learn a few basics.

I had forgotten how awful the Internet was for most people until my
laptop broke while I was on a business trip and my only Internet access
was through Windows/MSIE in the hotel's "business center."

All those popups!

All that spam!

Why in the world does anyone tolerate that nonsense, plus all the other
Windows problems? Don't they know they could use Linux/Mozilla with the
same point/click ease as Windows/MSIE and have trouble-free computing?

Obviously not...
