One of the greatest phenomena in this world is to be a bore and, or
melancholic; it needs no experience but some practice to be a good one.

This is typical and helps to explain why the various download numbers for
Linux do not match the actual usage statistics from various sites like the
BBC.

People try Linux in the hope that it will be better than Windows.
They quickly discover all the headaches Linux creates and move back to
Windows.

Well sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not in COLA. I'm reading
these posts in the Ubuntu group. The only reason they are going
to COLA is because whomever started the thread had it crossposted
there...and to Vista groups, which I removed because this has
nothing to do with Vista.

I'm NOT a Linux pusher, I still use Windows most of the time
since I'd just installed Linux a few weeks ago, maybe a month+
ago, and still checking out apps and learning Linux. There are
things I like and things I don't like.

Believe what you want to believe. It's painfully obvious that you
are completely anti-Linux, just like some are completely anti-MS,
and have such strong preconceived beliefs that it doesn't really
matter what anyone says about any particular Linux item,
everyone's a liar, and nothing works out-of-the-box.

7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics

22. Use invalid statistics. Introduce statistics to try to hurt
Linux, Linux Advocates, and/or the Linux community at large. Do
not about them be valid or real. It would be nice if you can find
those statistics on-line, but if you can't find any, invent them
out of whole cloth. If they are discredited, don't let that
bother you, keep citing them. If you see a fellow anti-Linux
propagandist using statistics, cite them as well, no matter their
lack of validity.

23. Lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie. If you do it often enough you may
create the appearance of truth.

>> People try Linux in the hope that it will be better than
>> Windows. They quickly discover all the headaches Linux
>> creates and move back to Windows.

32. Promote Windows at every opportunity. Microsoft Windows
needs a lot of help to be successful in the mind share of its
targeted user base. Point out to everybody on COLA how wonderful
it is. Ignore the meaning of the name of the newsgroup and its
charter.

> Agreed!

46. Accept the claims of other anti-Linux propagandists as face
value. Always treat other anti-Linux propagandist's statements
as being true. Accept their interpretations without question,
don't bother verifying their statements. If they claim something
against a Linux advocate always side with the anti-Linux
propagandists.
