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.

Does anyone else find that CTRL-ESC & CTRL-ALT-ESC sometimes simply don't work in Linux? I often find that I have to open a virtual console and use the CLI tools to kill apps. Especially when full screen apps such as games crash, or when something has made X unresponsive.
Also I find that alt+tab equivalents in KDE and GNOME don't work consistently. Full screen games and media players often don't allow me to switch to another app with the keyboard shortcuts. While in Windows I don't think alt+tab or the task manager have ever failed, even when apps are totally unresponsive.
These are fairly minor nitpicks compared with the main reasons why I don't use Linux. But they're part of the reason why I find even the latest Linux GUIs feel much less professional and elegant than Windows.
