[QUOTE="newusername, post: 3225468, member: 562064"] I kind of agree with both sides. I prefer Ubuntu, but I can understand why a lot of people don't. We're still in an age where the majority of computer users have no idea how to do anything other than double click a mouse and type 10 words per minute. 10, maybe 20 years down the road, platforms like Linux will be more popular. Also, if you're the type that follows the Linux development crowd, you'll notice that they are constantly working on making things simpler and easier for users. To me, that reads that they are acknowledging there are challenges in the OS for many people. Also, there is no doubt that Windows has a lot more difficulty because there are a lot more developers for it. For example, when I fix people's computers for them, the cause is almost always a weird combination of 8 different very obscure programs that are published on the internet. The sheer volume of programs available makes it very challenging to write a code base that will be so transparent that anything willl work with anything else. Even Linux has it's challenges there.
