  1. My Theory... on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    Windows makes easy tasks really easy and hard tasks very hard.
    UNIX/Linux makes easy tasks slightly harder and hard tasks easier.

    For example, to view the contents of a CD-ROM in Windows, double-click My Computer, then your CD drive. In UNIX/Linux, you must know how to use the mount command, the proper entry under /dev, etc.

    In UNIX/Linux, the hundreds of utilities like du, sed, wc, cut, just to name a few, achieve that which could only be accomplished by writing something in C/C++ on Windows.

    So, their site gets ./'ed, but no one (well, *nix-inclined ./ readers at least) can even use the software... pitty.
