Probably those people you see on Linux help forums complaining that
they've just installed Linux and none of their favourite Windows apps
will run on it without Wine etc. People who want Linux to be a free
version of Windows. I see them post sometimes on the Ubuntu forums:
"I installed Feisty, but Word and Photoshop won't run! What's wrong
with this POS?!"
The Ubuntu forums don't have many "Go to hell, troll!!" posts. Ubuntu
users seem to be very polite to the losers. And it kinda puts the
trolls off their stride, when the Linux enthusiasts shrug and say,
"Linux isn't for everyone. Maybe you should go back to Windows."
