I mostly agree...=) My fiance probably wouldn't even know what Wondows looked like if she saw it. Her only computing experience has been on my Linux/KDE boxen.

No, no, it's trying to get a handle on XP after you have been using
Unix for about 15 years and KDE for the last 6 or 7 that's so hard.
I gave up the ghost after 3 or 4 days, wiped eXtra Painful and installed Gentoo GNU/Linux. ( Yes, that's correct, I first experienced KDE when it was still beta, 0.7 iirc )


Which just goes to show that it's not any particular way of doing that's difficult. It's having to change long term habits that's so difficult.

For older users who find being wrenched kicking and screaming from the command line to be not far off torture, KDE has the very nice feature of Alt-F2 which pops up a window with a tiny command line. If one just cannot, like me, remember menu structures, that is _the_ saviour application.
