I thought you all might get a kick out of this "professional's" reply to a
message I posted.

Are you insane?
First of all.. all OS's have their ideosyncracies and occasional problems.
It doesnt mean the OS is crap.

Second, Linux is absolutely horrible for the typical windows user, or any
new computer user in general. It is hands-down the most needlessly
complicated, backward pain in the ass OS I have ever had the misfortune of
encountering(and Im an IT professional).
And I am talkin about the relatively mainstream/supported Redhat.
if you are a *nix techie, you can do Linux easy. If you are not, you should
stay the hell away from it.

Not to mention software and hardware support/availability is several
magnitudes of order better on win9x versus any kind of Linux.

Make half your hardware paperwieghts.. just install linux!
