Most revered sir.
That does not imply cluelessness, it's a highly inflammatory statement.
X window is not a GUI. Besides, what's a paradigm for a GUI? I find the
Windows GUI horribly illogical and user-hostile.
KDE and GNOME are well documented, unlike their Windows counterpart, which aims
at obscuring very important details. Microsoft has simply convinced the general
public that it has created a "user-friendly" OS. He does not deserve to be
flamed, we should simply make him aware of his error via conventional means.
