WYSIWYG tools are fine for small, static web sites, but when you have a large site, it should be dynamically generated. GUI tools are not very good at generating large comlex, dynamic sites.
The best way to maintain a large site is with CGI, database, and a good plain-text editor.
Yes, but, there is no reason why that software HAS to to be produced by MS. It is just CURRENTLY the way things are.
None of this has anything to do with the FACT that most people don't know what an operating system is. It is obvious that people will use any OS if the type of aplications they want to use will run on it.
As long as there were (commercial) applications that the customer wanted to run, they would not care about the OS running on their computer.
Of course, as you know, the problem is not that simple. Microsoft has a monopoly on shelf-space. They also have an unlimited amount of marketing resources. People can easily be led to believe that MS is the only game in town.
Actually, most people do NOT choose Windows. Most people do not know what an operating system is. The OEMs CHOOSE Windows! The average consumer does not realize that they even have a choice.
Just visited archiecomics.com to help in the/.ing. Did anyone else notice how many cookies they set? It seemed like almost twenty. A sign of pure evil!

Well... a lot of commercial software is released in RPM format. That alone causes some inconvenience for the non-RedHat user.

No, I don't think they would know the difference.

For great support of PNG, check out Adobe ImageReady. It is a program designed to process images for the web.

Yeah, but it's just a mailto form. Won't put much of a load on their server, but it didn't stop me from telling them how much they sucked...
