Editorial Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

"Windows required learning and you learned it. If you don't want to take the time to learn a new OS then don't and stop feeling bad about it and stop blaming others for doing things their way and not yours."

Yes, Windows required learning, as did DOS, and GEM, and Solaris, and Linux (3 or 4 different versions, all just differnet enough to be infuriating). I'm tired of learning operating systems. I've spent more time learning operating systems than getting work done on them. I'm not blaming others for doing it their way. I'm tired of them saying that it's the only or the better way or that somenone who does it differently is a sucker and an idiot.
