One of the catchphrases for Linux justification is the “It just works” mantra. As a provider of dual boot systems, I would recommend trying to watch a commercial DVD movie on both Windows & an out-of-the-box Linux distro of your choice. I could sell tickets to the resultsing fiasco.
I dislike Windows as much as the next aging geek, but the reality is that Linux distributions haven’t made the leap to full functionality yet. Close, but I’m still waiting for my nonexploding cigar.
Linux keeps reinventing the wheel, complete with fancy hubcaps, but forgets lug nuts to hold it on.
