let me first say, that i had no intention to flame the journalist.
however, concluding that windows is superior because he had more difficulty installing caldera than windows is nothing short of stupid.
and it -is- your responsibility to be aware of your options. you do not have to use caldera to install linux and you do not have to use a command line to operate it.
even the journalist himself noted that his installation would have been easier if he had chosen a more user friendly package such as redhat.
and further, i have been programming for over 15 years and i do not recall ever admiring microsoft for anything. maybe some people do, but it gives me some serious claustrophobia working within its limited scope and unreliable "conveniences".
perhaps persons like yourself, who have no motivation to find out for themselves what is available out there, appreciate microsoft because it has been impaled into your cranium several million times and has become an easy name to remember.
just because someone has a larger advertising budget does not mean that they are better. honest. i know that it is anti-american to say so, but even the most successful companies have flaws too.
