Is it really fair to compare the amount of headaches that an OS that came out in the middle of 1998 (and isn't even supported by the vendor anymore) gives with the amount that an OS that was just released this past year would give?
- camccann 17y agoNo, of course it's an unfair comparison. But back in '98 people were using that OS, including a lot of not particularly "technical" folks. The point is that Linux today is substantially better than "good enough for regular people to use". In other words, the issue is not why someone can't use Linux, but what they would gain by using Linux--such as the factors I outlined for my sister's situation.
