> 5. Windows compatibility. I think Windows compatibility is icing on the > cake, i have to agree, if you have your own good apps, you don't need to pay for theirs, and help them. better continuing development on open office, abiword, and kword than running MSoffice in wine. and it can be done, easily. net apps are more popular with hackers than office suite (IMHO) and what net app on MS would you trade for what you can do in linux? when office apps become important enough to the hackers who write the apps, we will have an explosion, and ms will be left behind there too. note the advances in open office, the day has come > 4. Minimizing the cult factor. I think the Linux community might keep > Linux off the desktop - just because of fanaticism. http://www.softpanorama.org/OSS/bad_linux_advocacy_faq.shtml > 3. Standards. ummm, we just did that, try to keep up. :-) > 2. Ease of use. Even the most adamant Linux promoter admits current reviews from several places say that mandrake and suse are bother easier to install and use than XP in all areas but games. > 1. Adobe Photoshop. This is my most controversial assertion. or brainless. i will take gimp over photoshop for 85% of everything you can do in either. better off if he brought up games. games seem to be one place linux struggles, and so many computer users use their machines for gaming. if loki were still out there, and transgaming announced they were making money, i would feel better, but gaming in the one place linux does struggle in my opinion. -- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier! shane http://shentzu.home.mindspring.com/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org/ cause humans do it better!
