Editorial First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

linux on the desktop....in 2020......

I've tried SuSE, RedHat, Caldera, Lycoris, Mandrake...all within the last year or so...

In my opinion, on the deskop, they BLOW CHUNKS compared with Windows XP...which I purchased for an *OUTLANDISH* sum of $99, and which installed flawlessly, and which has crashed once since November, 2001, trying to install a four-year-old game.

I don't have time nor the typing speed regurgitate the litanny of reasons why MS OS's put Linux to shame on the desktop. Besides, such things are clearly evident to anybody who doesn't still live in their parent's basement, and actually has to interact with the world of business.

On the server, it's a different story altogether. But this article isn't about that.

Begone!
