Linux 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.

Nice to see the term "user" instead of "loser" or whatever used. But anyway - another problem would-be converts that have only ever used Win9x series or NT, is that they have no clue as to the development cycle of a distro.

Buying and successfully installing a distro may well be seen as not worth the hassle if the system will be perceived at being out of date in just 6 months or so time.

As to the article, I feel Adam has hit the nail on the head here, sure it's not applicable to everything/one, nothing particularly fresh but does sum up the mature comments made about the article it is in response to.
