I read that group a lot since about a couple of months. there is truth in
the claim there are some Linux trolls. I don't understand why they do that
but it's the same psychology as for trolls everywhere.
but there also seem to be a lot of Windows users who are discontent with,
and some even contemptuous of, Vista. they want their XP back.
my own interest is to see what the issues are - the kinds of problems and
solutions and whatever interesting features there are. I don't mind
reading some 'advocacy' though, as in this group, it too often too quickly
devolves into name-calling and insults.
the Linux-oriented there seem to favor Ubuntu.
I am trying to puzzle out how the Vista UAC works. a lot of hassles around
that, it seems.
