I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

and about USB support, the comment i was replying to said that xandros was years behind win95, which is what i was debating.
I'm still curious as to *how* you were debating that by using the example of an OS that was released before USB was out and then using it's lack of USB support as some way saying that modern day linux is better.
Again, it's nothing but a strawman argument...not a very good one at that. You have no qualified list of reasons why the author feels that Xandros isn't quite up the level of Win95, yet persist in using one obscure, and falacious argument as a way to try and show that he is wrong.
