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.

While the original article by "Tsu Dho Nimh" may have raised some valid points about the usability of Linux distros, I also have to point out that there was nothing "new" in that article. Not only that, but she also went ahead insulting the people who develop the software which the Linux distributions consist of. If I was a deceloper of said software, I am not sure I'd care a whole lot about "winning over" users such as "Tsu Dho Nimh".
