Some questions/comments I'd like your views on, to show I'm listening and do not wish to miss your point: 1. I see postings here from Linux users having trouble, and the conversations involve entries and files full of stuff resembling hieroglyphics. Are you saying one can use linux without exposure to such things? 2. It seems there are more daily trouble posts from linux users than from Win uses, even though the first group is likely a very small fraction the size of the second. What conclusion to draw from that? 3. My impression is that more apps are written for Win than for other operating systems. Apple OSX second place, linux third. Doesn't this mean that using linux limits available software options? 4. The cost of Windows is trivial to me. I don't have time or interest to become a computer geek in my spare time. What would I gain from using linux? In your response, may I ask that you not suggest the platform is more stable and that SC runs more reliably, because Win on my PCs is stable and all apps are responsive and reliable.
