The only key strokes necessary are "Windows key + the e key"!

That is the flaw that will never be corrected.

Only one of the 350,000 problems which plague Microsoft in each and
every Operating System they produced.

Now, Linux doesn't have such fatal problems, because flaws are reported
and fixed promptly.

Mepis is only one of the varied FOSS systems that is enjoyed in my
neighborhood and local schools. Even First Grade students can set it up
, on every hardware platform that is "Pentium Class", in minutes!
http://www.mepis.org works on pentium Class systems of 300 Mhz PII to
the latest 64 bit Opterons.

Fixed promptly? Take alook at this critical Ubuntu bug from 2004 which
still hasn't been fixed!

Didn't you know that Linux has 0.7% of the worldwide desktop market? 0.7%!!
And that's after it doubling in the last 18 months.

OS X beat Linux years ago. Why?
They fixed the serious usability flaws of UNIX, ignored the free software politics, etc.

The fix is to invoke your Windows rights.

Here's how:

while holding down the WINDOWS key press the 'e' key.

Then, the vote can be registered.

OS X and Windows series of OS are the only viable home user operating
systems.

I'm at home, and I'm using a computer. I gradually switched to Linux three
years ago. In what way is it not viable?

The right Linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu) is much more viable today
than everything MS offers. True, there is a bit of a learning
curve, but there is with Vista (e.g.) as well. And unlike Windows,
what you learn with Linux stays valid for decades. No need to
re-learn everything every few years.

There are however people that are so afraid to try something
(seemingly) new, that they will prefer being screwed over by
the same monopolist over and over again....
