This is the world where the casual user would like to point his browser at most web sites and not be faced with a grey box. When the fact that Red Hat multimedia is in the stone age is pointed out, it is easy to change the subject and try to point out Windows' disadvantages. But the fact remains that Red Hat multimedia is pathetic, playing to Windows' strengths. > For the Red Hat user, it's often the things you DON'T get in Windows > that make it the better choice. Again, this is changing the subject. I'm aware of Windows' weaknesses and dangers, and I do not run Windows at home. But Red Hat's weaknesses are also very apparent in the multimedia department. They don't go away when we bash Windows. Chris
