Same experience? For the past few months? I beg to differ. I sometimes see
some Windows users at work. They regularly need to reboot, then restoring a
desktop one application at the time. They are also forced to tolerate a
desktop environment that reduces productivity, and even spend time
'maintaining' the machine with FS checks, anti-virus software, you name
it...
Oh yeah... and they are always low on cash. Proprietary lines of code are
being *gasp* charged for.
