Agreed. Linux is essentially a programmer's OS. Or a platform that IT guys
can lock down so that
servers will run indefinitely (almost). But from the average user's standpoint
(who have very little understanding
of what goes on in the bowels of an OS), Linux is a wild alien landscape.

You are a Linux evangelist. And you probably wholeheartedly believe this.
Nevertheless, the
groundswell has been so long coming that I fear it got lost in the forest.
And my sister who is an accountant simply refuses to use anything that doesn't
come with a MS imprimatur.
Nothing else can be trusted. So says she.
