This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

You simply have no alternatives on a Windows platform. Linux forces each and every user to become a power user. Linux will mold computer users into becoming smarter computer users, who are not afraid to work on something from a command prompt. These users will realize that the only restraint on a Linux system is their knowledge of the OS. All doors are open with Linux.
Indeed. And all drivers should be mechanics. All homeowners should be builders, electricians and plumbers. Etc.
Do you fit these criteria ? Can you rewire your house, repair your washing machine, build a room extension ? Can you rebuild your car's motor, install new suspension and give it a professional paint job ?
