Verry true. Although I think some of difficulties a newby encounters with lynux is because they often build there own system from scratch whereas they probably got their winblows system from a venter who just "made it work". I think if the newby would have the same difficulty building windows systems if they could. Why else does lynux run on more platforms? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 9:33 PM Subject: Re: An official slightly off topic anouncement > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Well, if this spawns a microsoft bashing thread on this list, it > wouldn't be the first time, and it probably won't be the last. > > Besides, although we don't come right out and say it, I personally am > of the opinion that most, if not all gnu/linux users in the world, and > on this list, are > anti-microsoft.
