I will name my main 2 staples that i work with everyday and not available on the mac
3d studio max and corel photopaint (i hate photoshop).
And as far as not being as savvy as some of you out there, i could not agree more, my computer is a tool not a hobby or even a past time.
Maybe i should have chained myself to my computer instead of getting girls like i was used to doing (married now, so my chasing days are over), yep, should have spent my time more wisely I think.
and my whole point, that a bunch of you missed, is that THE REASON MOST PEOPLE DO NOT USE LINUX IS BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY (myself included in this) AND DO NOT WANT TO RESEARCH THEIR OS, WE WANT IT NEAT AND SIMPLE.
KISS - KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID == this is what makes anything dominant in a market place, simplicity of acqusition and USE.
argue all you want, but facts are facts.
If all the software that people ran was available on linux and macs, games included, then more people, including myself, would switch.
And honestly, I am computer savvy, but I am not even sure if there are still many different versions/releases of linux outhere, where to get them from, wether they are free or I gotta buy them.
I know IT guys are all over linux, but I don't think the article, and the question is poses are aimed at IT/programmer types.
So in a nutshell, being a regular guy using my computer, if there was more software available for linux, and it was clear how to acquire it, I would be switching. Most people, like myself just want to put a disc in a drive,install and not worry about it any more.
C'mon people! these extrelly well paid and pampered actors need to keep working! Let's all storm Paramount and demand that not only they are not fired, but all receive raises!
Jeez
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. Science can create pesticides, but it can't tell us not to use them. Science can make a nuclear reactor, but it can't tell us not to build it!"
Has science fiction not taught us anything?:P

so now thugs are going to cut off my hand instead of just taking my wallet
