Hi all Can I please state for the record that I am a complete Linux supporter. I have been with Mandrake since version 6 and although having left the arena, so to speak, for sometime now I still believe that linux is the best OS system around and Mandrake the best version.
What my original e-mail was trying to show (and I apologise for not making this clear) is the average end user perspective. There is much talk here, as there always has been, of Linux-v-Windows and I was just illustrating, after my installation of XP, as to what a windows user must think when faced with Md9 or any other linux version for the first time. In my opinion too much time and effort is directed towards "converting" the windows user to linux and basically I was showing that although linux is by far the better of the two, XP gives people what they want and damn fast. Some of you have said that chaning desktops will improve preformance but as I originally stated I don't want to, again getting my head into a windows users perspective where KDE or Gnome is the more familiar. Showing some new person Enlightenment or even ICEwm is not going to impress at all. They want familiararity, hence my choice of desktop. I hope this has made my stance clear, Andrew
