About seven years ago, I tried to free myself from the oppression and misery of running Windows ME by installing Linux on my PC. Ever installed the Linux operating system? It's not for the faint of heart. So, when it was recently reported that Linux-based netbooks are being returned at a rate four-times higher than their Windows-based brethren, I can't say I was surprised.

I always wondered, isn't Desktop Linux in the same league as the Mac (from a Windows Users perspective?). Apart from MS Office (which you have to purchase separately) and Adobe products, you have to learn new programs to do what you usually do in Windows (Mac users, please correct me here). So why would a new user adjust easier to a Mac than to Linux? Joseph
