There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

I've been using Linux (Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Red Hat) for 3 years now, and Windows for the 10 years before that. The truth of the matter is that the "average" computer user still can't even install Windows, much less Linux. They use whatever came on their computer (Windows) and if something goes wrong, they go for the System Restore function, or the System Restore CD.
So, given the way things really are, it appears that Windows isn't exactly really for prime time, either. The truth of the matter is that most computer users are too lazy to learn about any OS.
