The support that you refer here has nothing to do with Linux but with the
vendors. You are talking apples vs oranges: Is MS richer than Novell, yes.
Is Linux OS BETTER than windows, yes, in every respect.
So its no surprise that MS is able to spend vast amount of resources
spawning microserfs everywhere with its programs. However, check this out:

It is quite evident that after so called 15 year using Unix you have
developed a self-loathing attitude that only reflects your personal
failures: Spending 1000x more times searching for information about Linux
simply means that you are grossly incompetent- which is keeping in line
with your real Windos aptitude.
Anybody with the slightest technical knack can really appreciate the beauty
of an advanced and sophisticated operating system like Linux. it's sad that
you have not reached this level of appreciation, which again, is not
surprising.
