> From almost every other dimension Linux is inferior and therefore from an Overall perspective it is inferior. That's just preposterous. Linux user friendliness has not been slow or fragmented, it has come really far just in the last five years. Windows on the other hand has gotten relatively worse since the 'high' periods of early NT kernel OSes. > The most important dimensions for an operating system are usability and compatibility.

Too many choices... a user has to dig and choose the right distro to be "easy" to use. >Do some research. You do the research. I'm more well informed than you.
