>>> Linux will always be a platform for geeks.
People used to say that about DOS.<<
Completely different era and hardly a decent comparison when we have so many
options today and the
OS has become ubiquitous. No OS manufacturer wanting their product to be
adopted by the masses
should make it difficult to install. It should be forehead install out of the
box, 60 minutes or
less for me to be up surfing the Web from raw metal. Even DOS was that easy to
install. Maybe you
are you saying in just 10 years we will be looking back on 2008 and laughing
how some people
struggled to install some Linux distros and battled the blue screens of death?
(yes, tongue firmly
planted in cheek)
We are talking 20 years of progress since DOS was mainstream. The OS should not
be hard to work with
or install period. We literally should be talking to the computer and having it
work for us instead
of humans being slaves to the computer. This is what Microsoft should have been
showing off in this
sting. True innovation. All OS manufacturers have failed to realize the Star
Trek visionaries. Sheep
herders should be listening and prepared to make billions.
