I normally only use Linux, and when I've used Windows it has only been as a user, not an administrator. I'd prefer that people didn't ask me to help with Windows problems, since I'm obviously not an expert, but bizarrely many Windows users seem to know even less.
- jodrellblank 9y agoHow is that bizarre? One of the main selling points of Windows is that you don't have to be a mechanic to drive the car. It still baffles me that people see that as a negative. "Any fool can use a GUI". Yes, that's .. that's why GUIs are popular. They make things easier to use without having to know the details behind them.
- incompatible 9y agoI'd just expect that somebody who owns a computer and is nominally responsible for administering it will tend to learn stuff about it over time. In practice, they seem to learn very little.
