I beg to differ. Most Windows power users (IMNSHO) will be disgusted by Linux simply because It Is Not Windows. By definition, their motor memories will have been deeply rooted in all of the quirks of Windows (i.e., keyboard shortcuts, cmd/command line shells, property sheets, etc.). Trying to make them relearn all of that and go back to being a non-power user (on a different OS, albeit) may be painful. That being said, I too was once a Windows Power User (TM) and have now appreciate the power that is Linux. -- JM Ibanez - A million monkeys can't go wrong... http://www.livejournal.com/~jmibanez/ http://www.mycgiserver.com/~butiki/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
