It just shows the flaw in Linux (Score 2, Interesting)

Just the fact this guy had to write a multi-page article to figure out which version of Linux, web browser, and office suite just shows how far Microsoft is ahead. There is a power in unified development and vision; it's a power that will keep Windows on top and Linux fragmented. Last time I checked Microsoft offered free easy updates to the Windows operating systems, but it seems to get easy updates you have to pay monthly in the Linux world. There seems to be this duality in Linux which is 'it's free if you're a geek, but you have to pay if your not'. Free Linux vs XP is one thing, but pay Linux + monthly fees vs. XP is another, and for the average user it's going to be pay Linux.
