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.

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.
I disagree with you. I am a working professional who interacts daily with software developers, business contacts, potential employees, and a slew of other business titles and customer types. What do I use when I want to get something done? Linux. Also, perhaps of some interest to you, I've owned my own place for eleven years and my parents don't live anywhere in sight.
While my typing speed and patience are sufficient to provide an incantatory recital of the myriad technologies and abilities which make Linux a superior platform (desktop or otherwise) for me, I franlky doubt that it is within most users knowledge or experience to comprehend; therefore I will refrain from doing so.
I liked the article and agree with the frustration and hatred the author feels towards Windows; as I have experienced it myself. If it were me, I would dump Windows in a heartbeat and use only Linux; which I have done. I, on the other hand, have no idea what the rest of you would do.
