The worst enemies, according to Business Week, are school superintendents. "We want a single platform," one of them said. "We're trying to get there using the carrot, or blackmail, or rewards, or whatever you call it.""

    its not exactly dominant in the home or business world, why teach kids on it?

    If your kids can't figure out how to use a different operating system because its widgets are on the right side of the window, then they're pretty fucking stupid.

    If you want to really confuse an ms-windows user... drag their taskbar up to the top of the window... :)

    A fair percentage (like most of them) don't even know you can do little things like that. And if you really really want to be nasty... drag the top edge of the task bar so as to turn it into one that's only a few pixels thick as well...
