<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Listen, i know that most likely i'll get a canned response to this. that's the way microsoft does stuff. so i expect nothing else. but i do have a question. when, if ever, is anyone, anywhere, going to make a linux version of anything, that just works. sadly, windows does. it has 4000 undocumented features, it freezes every day, even in Arizona, or central africa. but when it's not frozen, it works. linux and all it's offshoots, and i do mean all, claim to do what windows does, only better. unfourtunately, it's a lie. unless of course you can spend 57 days tweeking this or that or the other thing. or spending the rest of the year going through the forums. and i mean from starting in january. and i don't need the learning curve excuse. if you want people to use linux and stop using windows because it's better and works better, when, if ever, is that going to happen. or should i just give up all hope. bob ps if you know of a linux version that REALLY TRUELY does beat windows, right out of the box, please tell me what it is. even if it isn't ubuntu. </body> </html>
