Backpedal, crap and bullshit, frankly old son  There comes a point when those who attempt to force open source down the populace's throats can actually have the complete opposite effect. Look, note, and question

What on earth has me posts to do with "forcing open source down the populaces throat" ?? I posted as it gives the possible pricing for 7. Posted in a way that would get a rise out of folk about M$'s global pricing. As usual we get stuffed here in the UK.. Nowt to do with open source or pedaling etc.

Do you really need to ask that? If I were to quote every instance in the last 14 days where you've offered Linux as an alternative to Windows it would be a lengthy post. The fact is most people who post here with Windows problems have trouble getting their head round Microsoft's offering let alone a Linux Distro. In the majority of cases your suggestions will just confuse. I'm not saying stop recommending Linux, but you are becoming a bit predictable and I for one just groan now whenever I see the suggestion. And as you know I'm trying Linux myself. It's all easy until it comes to loading: applications, drivers and patches, then it can become a nightmare, that's the truth.

Honestly? OK... I'll bite:
1) Applications - the only problems I can imagine come when installing - NEITHER from repositories, NOR using (.deb, .rpm etc.) distribution specific packages - source packages. Dunno... WHY? Why do that? 2) Drivers. OK. A [small] part of hardware sucks. A Broadcom wifi card can be a nightmare. On the other hand, the vast majority of hardware "just works". 3) Patches... what patches? As long as stuff is installed via package management, updates are no problem. On the other hand if a particularly nasty piece of hardware has required "command line stuff" like recompiling a kernel... then leave it. It works, don't update it every time you have a chance. He speak truth, me speak truth. Einstein relative.
