You're stating the obvious sir. As others have
mentioned few days ago, the gist is that any
experienced Linux user can make Linux be at par
with winXP desktop experience by doing many
tweaks, optimization, changing the window
manager, etc. depending on your hardware.

Many ppl have discussed that patch here in the
mailing list since 2 years ago... so ppl here
are aware of that. Anyways, it's still good
that you have brought it up so newer members are
aware of the patch.

Don't be a linux zealot. Linux is not always the
answer to any IT solutions. Different solutions
for different problems. Many potential users
were turned off with OS/2(except the banks of
course!) because of OS/2 zealots.
