Rantastic said " So I think it's kind of silly to keep talking about how Joe Home User is having all these problems using a product that is not meant for him. About the same as complaining that a Nascar is too hard to maintain for the average driver."
But then put in the context of the moaning thousands of Linux Users who constantly bemoan Microsoft's success and even Slashdots depiction of Microsoft as some sort of Borg figure then it is quite right to point out the problem
that Microsoft does cater to the Home User and Linux does not and that is where the revenue and standards are being generated with home users...
Most small businesses are little more than slightly more demanding home users and so their level of computer savvy is about the same as the informed home user (If they are lucky) so of course they are not going to pay a Sys Admin when their business is small...
And Linux Users wonder why Microsoft despite its problems is so popular...
Not every business is a mega corporation but hey if you think that a GNU released OS meant to avoid Corporate control should only pander to Corporate control then herein lies the Linux Users problem and also their hypocrisy...
It seems that the only reason that Linux Users are trying to resist moves for a trully easy desktop Linux version is purely out of interests that are in direct conflict with the GNU principle in maintaining a Linux that is unusable by the majority and reserved only for the minority...
"Microsoft are evil", "Microsoft want to run everything", "It is Microsoft that are imposing standards on todays OS platform developement"...
Some of the criticisms of Linux Users...
And what is their response to suggestions on how break the Microsoft grasp????
"Nahhh can't make Linux Popular Boo Hoo!!!"
"Nahhh the programming talent will move elsewhere Boo Hoo!!!"
"Boo hoo I won't be the only dweeby dork in my area to run a Linux Box Boo hoo"
Well either you want to see an end to Microsofts imposing of standards or you don't...
On \. it shows Bill Gates as Borg well in the same vein then perhaps the average Linux user (Judging by these posts) ought to be a little Pinny wearing masonic boob with one trouser leg rolled up and an cake slice in their hands because I have never met such a bunch of elitist snob shortsighted morons in all my life other than the freemasons but Linux Users come a close second...
I Use both OS's and am quite happy to do so and for what Linux is crap at I use Windows and for what Windows is crap at I use Linux...
Of course I will probably be pilliaried for not adding my voice to the tech nerds mantra but hey I think I will survive without adding one more person to what is becoming a dangerous and fanatical cult...
Grow up and let Linux grow into a viable OS for even the Granny set with absolutely no Computer savvy and quit this crap about elitism...
