Of course, Anne. And I'm not the one to take part in this discussion seriously, because I never used Windows myself. My experience stems from wathching my collegues and some of my family and friends fighting with their Windows-PCs. It seems to be an eternal re-install-fest. I don't know if it's possible to "clean" a WindowsPC, at least it isn't for them. And they don't enjoy it, that's for sure, what with swearing all the time. It doesn't appear to me that Windows it especially userfriendly. On the other hand, I always enjoy to install a new Mandrake, not because I have to, but because it's fun (well, most of the time). A few weeks ago, some friends watched me install MDK 10.0CE. Half an hour later everything was functional and updated. And I never had a virus, a worm, a trojan or anything malicious. And updating is a no-brainer nowadays. That, I call userfriendly. Just my two �-cents. Kaj Haulrich. -- * Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer * * running Linux kernel 2.6.4 on Mandrake 10.0 *
