Give Linux a chance
,----[ Quote ]
| Also the way Linux executes programs is based on a completely different
| architecture. There is no concept of an untrusted, unknown program having
| access to everything. The problems that plague Windows, viruses, spywhere,
| malware and worms, do not exist in the Linux world. They have never existed
| and will never exist, because the architecture of the system is not designed
| that way.
|
| So as I said before, anyone can give out Linux, so lots of people do
| (remember: choice is good) most versions are free and you can legally share
| them with your friends and neighbours without having to ask anyone.

Flipping the Linux switch: My OS is okay, your OS is okay
,----[ Quote ]
| People with absolutely no computer experience are hard to come by. When we
| say "no experience" we don't mean people who pick up the mouse and try to use
| it like a TV remote. We are thinking along the lines of elementary school
| aged kids (seriously!) or more adventurous adults who haven't really
| become "familiar" with the computer much beyond what a keyboard or mouse
| does.
|
| The uniting factor in this group seems to be that they don't have a lot of
| preconceptions of what an operating system "should look like." If they can't
| figure out how to fire up the internet on a computer, it's not because
| the "IE" icon is not on the desktop, but it's because "IE" and "web browser"
| really don't mean much to them. They're not interchangeable terms. They're
| barely even English terms.

Advice for the MCSE: go back to school
,----[ Quote ]
| Number one on that list is a simple reality: everything changes, and by
| betting against industry wide change you’re leaving yourself, your family,
| and even your community hostage to Microsoft’s continuing commercial success.
|
| [...]
|
| Not many people like Microsoft - and there are better alternatives: Linux on
| the server side, MacOS X on the user side.
|
| Is it going to happen tomorrow? Probably not, but it will - and when it does
| a lot of today’s MCSEs will be caught out: essentially unemployable in
| comparable professional roles without significant, unanticipated, and
| uprooting personal change.
