Indeed. BTW: In some psychology related talk I heard a good while ago: You can only pick up people frome where they are. - As long as someone is perfectly happy with Windows (or is just not aware of his unnecessary suffering) you are somewhat lost. And: If I talked somebody into using Linux and then a single problem arises (even if possibly easily fixed) it's my fault (at least from the othr's point of view). Let's face the facts: There are some things that can't be achieved with the same efficiency yet on the Linux desktop. But on the other hand a lot of things can be achieved better and more efficient on Linux. If one is suffering from the problems on Windows he/she will accept a few flaws in Linux much easier - and fact is that there are some - nothing is perfect. And finally: I learned that there are people you can never understand. There are people buying a complete new machine after system crashed and they can't find their Windows-CD any more and others getting a new machine because the old one got too slow (thinking it is the hardware that got slower as getting older - just like an old man can't run like a younger any more) - although maybe a defrag and deleting some temp-files/history would have been sufficient (as Windows doesn't delete most of them automatically).
