This light hearted review is a look at how a girl who uses Windows (and is non-technical) deals with using Fedora Linux instead. In fact, she likes it so much, she uses it all the time now. If she can use Fedora Linux, anyone can.

The fact that it took you a month just demonstrates a lack of skill in Windows development, not a problem with Windows itself.
Even if you're right; you just flushed that "Windows is easier to install/maintain" argument down the toilet.
If a veteran Windows developer can't maintain a working Windows XP machine, who can?
(By veteran I mean: Been writing user/kernel mode software for Windows since NT 3.51)
Oh, and I've updated about 15 people to SP2 so far. Not one has had any issues (drivers, especially). I call bullshit on the SP2 complaint.
[General rant]
Call bullshit? Geez! What are you, a 3 year old?
At the times the OSNews talkbacks feel like a conversation with 8 y/o Aminem wannabies.
For God's sake, grow up!
[/General rant]
The SP2 issues were blown completely out of proportion by the media.
It was hardly as bad as everyone made it out to be.
YMMV.
/We/ had problems with SP2.
/You/ didn't.
/We/ are not /you/.
This is it?
All you had to counter my claims was: SP2 works just fine on my machine? (Oh, I forget, SP2 works on your machine and I'm an incompetent Windows XP user... I forgot.)

Along the same line of logic ... /you/ are not /everyone/. Just because /you/ had problems doesn't mean the /majority/ of people had problems.
And oh noes ... I made swear! Oh poo ... I'm such a bad Eminem-loving little boy. Right. Get real. I'm sure you're a saint when it comes to Linux f*cking up as usual.
