| He does make a valid point. *nix may be the bestest OS for techie-folk, but Windows is and will continue to be the best one for everyone else. I showed my mother Linux one day, and she looked at me and asked "Where's the mouse?" so I started up X and she looked at me again and asked "Where's the start button?" so I restarted it with the kvwm95 desktop and she once again looked at me and asked "Where's...everything? Word, Publisher, Printmaster, AIM?" If you'd like to see the home computing industry (and much of the business computing one, actually) come to a screeching halt, then you just keep going with your anti-Microsoft rants and raves. You take away Windows, you take away the average person's ability to use a computer.
But that's just my pro-Microsoft-marketing side speaking. Never heard of the bridge metaphor, though. Interesting. |
