Hi. Well, it is in any operating systems best interrests financially to go to a graphical user interface. The answer is simpl. The sited world simply can't use there computers without a mouse. You give them a computer without a mouse, and they will stair at it in dumb wonder, and will exclame that they can't use it. I just fixed a laidies Windows 98 computer the other day. Her mouse got screwed up, and that was it. She didn't know how to access the start menu, shutdown her computer, and basically absolutely zip. That is why some distributions like Mandrake Linux are designing around the gui, and leaving off some text programs. To us it sounds mordifying, but to the sighted world that is great, and they buy it, and Mandrake is happy, the buyers our happy, and business is booming. To Mandrake's credit the profetional additions include a wide range of both text and graphical which makes everyone happy.
