    Awful nice of Steve to admit that it's true now.


    I believe what he said is that it "might" be possible, not that it was, is, or ever will be [possible]. He doesn't care about better products, he just wants to sell Windows. It might as well be Eskimos and Air Conditioners to him.

    What I wonder about, I mean what really confuses me, is when he says that Microsofty is "pretty close to making it untrue."

    What does that mean? He can't complete a sentence without sounding like a sorority girl who goes to UT.

    I agree with the controversial bit. She spent a lot of time complaining in the article about what it should be used for, and then gave it realativly high marks.

    I assume 9/10 is the max. I doubt any reviewer, escpecially her, would give a linux distro 10/10. Just the thought of Joe User would make it impossible.

    The real problem is it confuses users who haven't updated or picked a distro yet. Someone who used VAX or Unix in the past would like to try it out right...? Home Users take their experiences to work? Microsoft Terminal Services license fees?

    Ah, forget it...

    She must like trashing linux, Mandrake this time, even though she gives it 8/10 and 7/10 marks with few positive comments in the article, and compares it to Windows(tm) for Ease of Use(tm).

    Strange. When I installed Windows ME it was a real-pain in the Buttocks(tm). NT2000, and XP are "better" but come with what she probably considers "crappy" default themes, no compiler, other Window Managers (Explorer).

    And she mentioned Slackware! I thought she was some kind of User Interface guru, knowing what is best for Joe User and such.
    It is like comparing Apples and Oranges and Watermellons (in no particular order).
