Quite interesting little article, though nothing that hasn't been said before. Lays it out pretty well though.

I tried to use Fedora for a while, here are a few annoyances that made me re-install Windows:

- Everything is made for Windows.
- The all GUI's I used looked second rate, yeah Win is all bubbly gradients and big icons, but it is all consistant and looks finished.
- It is a pain to learn application installations, directory structures
- Everything is made for Windows.

I have been using linux for a while for the web server, and I am not new to using console commands, but it is a pain trying to convert.

The person who has the CS degree....not very smart...

It would have taken him less time to save important files, and re-format the hard drive and re-intall his OS that for him to run a billion spyware programs....

just my two cents...

Ah, but you do it for the challenge!
