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.

With Linux text files, you're not restricted to using Vi. Any text editor will do - and, in the Unix world, there are dozens.
Quite frankly, the Windows regedit or regedt32 could use some enhancements - how about a consistency checker, for starters or an undo feature ( besides exporting every key you intend to change beforehand)?
