And what is basic about Microsoft Windows? What fundamental skills does one develop by using Microsoft Office, as opposed to using Open Office.org? Will our children become better citizens by interacting with Clippy? Will they learn artby using MS Paint?
Yes, it's easy. Heaven forbid we challenge our students.
And how does one do this when the keyboard and mouse are frozen? On Linux, one uses telnet or SSH (or whatever) to access the errant machine. Does Windows have a telnet/SSH server?
So no one complains that Microsoft Windows puts the graphics in kernel space for a faster but less stable desktop, or about its lack of programming/scriting tools?
Well, there isn't much that Linux developers can do about the way that NVidia releasing its code, so if it were a feature of NVidia, there wouldn't be much that they could do.
Hmm. . . Gladwell's criticism of SUV's is similar to criticisms of Microsoft software: that both favor appearance over reality, reducing the control that the operator has, and fostering a sense of passivity in the operator.
Not quite, one of them left early. Unfotunately (for him), he accepted a ride from Odd Job (Goldfinger's Steve Ballmer) to the airport, but wound up in a car compacter instead.

lickable buttons? They allow those in schools?

Yes, but syntax highlighting still helps. Gotta match those tags.
But you left out Python and TeX/LaTex.
Notepad has syntax highlighting for HTML?
So, Visual Studio is more powerful than GNU Emacs? What languages does VS support? Emacs supports TeX/LaTeX, C/C++, Perl, Python, HTML, . . .
Do these countries ask how they can attract the best and the brightest from elsewhere?
If American students can't find Denmark, how could they find Vejle? I'm guessing that Vejle is part of Jutland, as opposed to an island.

What about romaji? Also, how does one do test messaging in kana or kanji?
Is "ni" the same as "b" the same as "ts"? A dash followed by three dots?
Or the US version: Millions for packet sniffers, but not one penny for tribute!
What is the caliber of a Glock 19?
Wasn't there the matter of maintainance? The US used the Sherman during WWII because it was rugged and simple to maintain.
What about LaTeX? There are GUIfied front ends for it.

Is that a feature of Linux, or of NVidia?
"This Land is Your Land"? What is the spacetime curvature near Woody Guthrie's grave due to his rotation?
And why did they need a signed integer? Did they have negative changes?

Ford Owners Recommend Debian?
I grew up with the worst of both worlds: near an airport as the planes fly, but not near the entrance.
Not quite, one of them left early. Unfotunately (for him), he accepted a ride from Odd Job (Goldfinger's Steve Ballmer) to the airport, but wound up in a car compacter instead.
Can we quote you when people criticize Linux for not having good drivers? After all, the hardware manufacturers are much friendlier to Microsoft.
