Rather than educate the public, Microsoft confuses people. It makes them
narrow minded by controlling their exposure to altenatives (OEM's, media,
schools and so on). How many Linux newbie do you know who ask about malware
and anti-virus software, or the absence of scandisk.exe and defrag.exe?
Earlier today I got the following message by E-mail (just a snippet):
"Too many things are not there. I want my Desktop and My
Documents and My Pictures and my Music. I have it all saved
on my external drive. I see no Start, Search, Control Panel,
Add/Delete Programs."
So he's new to the world of Linux and he thinks that computing=Windows. The
terminology is very narrow to him and he cannot grasp the fact that Linux is
not Windows. Linux is done better--or conversely--Windows is a poor
UNIX/Linux implementation.
