Sorry you have lost me. Most people dont "use windows" - they run
applications on it. It is a totally different user experience from Linux
IMO.

I'm not sure if you are saying there are problems or that there arent
any now. or are you assuming there are problems but just that people
dont find them? Like in any SW?

That would appear to be an easy thing to do.

Glib replies are easy to make especially when clipping the follow up
where I pointed out that your comments were as applicable to Linux SW as
to windows. *shrug* Your choice. You're obviously one of the "Windows
sux brigade". Fine. I had thought you more reasonable and open minded.

Isn't that like saying, "Most people drive a car," but then there a few
that also operate the radio?

Or a few even check their oil, tire pressure, or maybe look at the
gauges or idiot lights?
