Thank you for making that loud and clear. Although the Linux kernel and its various distributions are all great options. No single flavour satisfies all tastes. So, each OS has its place. Unfortunately, there will be an ever waging battle of compatibility, but the non-M$FT side has made a rousing comeback in recent years. The end result: There is never just one solution to a complex problem.

To be continued on some Linux forum in greater detail...

That's true, and anyone who has ever passed on a Linux distribution to a friend or family member would know the importance of leaving behind a system that does just work. To me this just looks like someone trying to pass blame. I guess she feels swindled, when in fact she was simply sold something different.

In downtown Toronto walking is a great option, but by taking my electric bicycle I can reduce the amount of time spent in the cold by 30%. Also, depending on the destination, the TTC (public transit for Toronto) can be less than practical. Finally, with minimum wage at $8.75, and the cost of the TTC at $2.75 each way, it is sometimes hard to justify nearly an hours worth of pay, just to get there. Thus, I will continue to ride my Electric Bicycle.

yeah Toronto, whach-you sayin'?
