Indeed.
BTW: In some psychology related talk I heard a good while ago: You can
only pick up people frome where they are. - As long as someone is
perfectly happy with Windows (or is just not aware of his unnecessary
suffering) you are somewhat lost.
And: If I talked somebody into using Linux and then a single problem
arises (even if possibly easily fixed) it's my fault (at least from
the othr's point of view).

Let's face the facts: There are some things that can't be achieved
with the same efficiency yet on the Linux desktop. But on the other
hand a lot of things can be achieved better and more efficient on
Linux. If one is suffering from the problems on Windows he/she will
accept a few flaws in Linux much easier - and fact is that there are
some - nothing is perfect.

And finally: I learned that there are people you can never understand.
There are people buying a complete new machine after system crashed
and they can't find their Windows-CD any more and others getting a new
machine because the old one got too slow (thinking it is the hardware
that got slower as getting older - just like an old man can't run like
a younger any more) - although maybe a defrag and deleting some
temp-files/history would have been sufficient (as Windows doesn't
delete most of them automatically). Yes, true stories.
