Re:Good For the Consumer? (Score 1)

I agree. I have been using both OS's at home and in a development environment, and have tried switching over to Linux full time at home for all my work. The first time I did this, KDE crashed the whole OS and rebooted into the same freeze every time. Linux is still not NEARLY as complicated, or advanced as Windows is, yet it is already showing signs of eventually becoming as crash prone as Windows. It is the hidden Linux users secret; Linux already has alot of problems and most users know it. Part of the problem is the very diversity and scope of contributors to the various distributions that aid its stability. I LOVE Linux as a server, but would not think of switching again as a desktop untill...at the very least...I can stop KDE from crashing the damn OS! Bill Gates is right about one thing; an OS is alot more than a file system. I would not even dream of trying to convince any of my relatives to swith to linux. I KNOW it would be to hard for them to learn. By the By, since I re-installed Windows XP PRO over two weeks ago, It has yet to crash a single time.
