Linux heads don't get it !
Where have you been Bosei?
Windows has been taking the best of other OS's forever! Keep your money. You'll need it to buy the next version of Windows.
Don't get me wrong, I hope the best OS wins, because that means the user wins. But just as a house is built on a foundation so an OS has to have a proper philosophical foundation - user friendliness (If it's going to be a populous OS that is).
Last point. Although I am very comfortable with troubleshooting tech problems (for a living by the way) I think it's fair to say that users find us arrogant when we think they should drop everything they think is important to "make" time for what we think is important. And thus the crux of the matter. The OS that wins will be the one that users "want" not what we want to shuve down their proverbial throats!!
Last, last point.
That's why many of us have work and that's not going to change any time soon. A perfect OS is unattainable but let's all admit the obvious, the best OS is the one that is easy for the end user who isn't a techie or a geek !!!!!!!! Have I wasted my time here or does anyone get this?
