Linux users more experienced with windows. 

,----[ Quote ]
| From what I understand, the most, if not the 
| major, gripe windows users have with the 
| Linux operating system is that it doesn't run 
| windows programs. That sort of reasoning is 
| about as powerful as a storm in a teacup. 
| Linux is not a copy of windows and has it's 
| own comprehensive suite of programs to 
| accomplish all computing tasks.
| 
| This means that when it comes down to a Linux 
| verses windows debate Linux people have the 
| advantage in knowledge and experience. I have 
| never heard of any Linux user with a couple 
| or more years of Linux experience moving over 
| to the windows operating system. I have never 
| heard of a windows user with as much 
| experience in Linux as a Linux user has in 
| windows.

Linux is the perfect choice for many people

| As you can see, these are just two examples 
| of how people who wouldnât normally think 
| that they would have a good use for that 
| âotherâ operating system, there really are 
| some great âout-of-the-boxâ uses for Linux 
| besides the everyday use some may find 
| intimidating.

A standard Windows desktop is useless

| I type, LyX does the layout. Creating a PDF
| is painless. With eLyXer HTML creation is
| easy - and boy, does it look good. With
| LaTeX2RTF I can create those @#$% Word
| documents the whole world seems to be craving
| for. I written my entire 4tH manual with LyX,
| which is over 450 densely written letter-size
| pages - with graphics. No problem. Making
| references, bibliographies or a simple table
| of contents, it's just a few quick clicks
| away. I fire LyX up, adjust the document
| properties and I'm away. I type the title, my
| name, indicate this is the "title" and
| "author" and begin my first section.
| Highlight the section title, indicate this is
| a "section" and off we go. That's how you
| produce content. Needless to say that once
| you've put an image somewhere that it doesn't
| move anymore - and certainly isn't overlaid.
