    Perhaps he drinks lots of coffee and doesnt get out much...

    But I suspect that thier are a few poeple working on the project. At least on a "part time" basis.. (part time for a programmer is about 60 hours per week)

    I'm sorry, but as much as I like knoppix and love the GPL and such, I can't say that he is right in never actually owning a Windows PC. It costs money but you can easily get XP and a PC cheaply. Hell I'd buy him a copy so he could play with it. If he can't get things to work how he likes then he doesn't know what to do, just like a person new to Linux wouldn't know what the heck to do. If he was able to spend more time with Windows, I'm not saying he'd like it, but he would definatly gain perspective on other operating systems.

    Swearing off something that's different is really close-minded, IMO.

    Allright, then, I swore winblows off, after using it for years. I've tried XP too, but that was just more and more irritations. There's almost no customization possible, and if you really want to change anything, you have to download (and pay for) hundreds of little programs, which slow down your system, and make it crash... silly silly silly it is...

    (I went linux cuz I can customize it, more than anything else. check, for example, my screenshot:

    Could you EVER make winblows look lik that? well, i think IT IS possible... but then its even slower as it was, and crashes even more... thats why I love linux.

    It's Kweather+ from kde-look.org... actually you have to download and install superKaramba first, the support for things like this is not (yet?) kde-native

    (just what I was complaining 'bout m$... but they whould *never* give build-in support for something like this, kde might...)
