Screw the End-Users and Yay Microsoft (Score 0)

Throughout the years, I have formed the opinion that you have to be a complete novice or a serious asshole of a programmer to crash windows 2000. Simple as that. Other than some hardware failures on my part due to me taking out and replacing ish on a regular basis, windows 2000 has crashed only twice in the 3 years I've been using it in massive development and server environments. TWICE. I've yet to crash linux, openBSD failed to install 3 times but installed on the fourth for no apparent reason, FreeBSD was awesome until I got bored with it, NetBSD is not as cool as OpenBSD and now I'm using windows 2000 more on a regular basis than I use any UNIX variant. Linux is rewarding once you've learned the archaic knowledge within that beige, or Alien-Ware-Queered-Out box. A lot of end-users don't need to know what type of sound card they have, the model number of their NIC, or their monitors refresh rates. They just don't. So I propose this: Linux for the Technical Community (researchers, scientists, etc.) and windows/macs for everyone else. I truly don't see the point in crusading Linux to end-users who only need it for word-processing and net surfing. Yeah, Linux has all that, but once again, a novice has to hurdle a considerable amount of configurations just to get to that point. Forget the desktop market and your Marxist dreams, it's not gonna happen when microsoft is soooo easy to use compared to Linux. I say we all branch off, begin a completely different computing society just for us dorks who love command prompts and endless lines of code. Let us continue to scoff and sway from the horde and start becoming comfortable in our own utopian hopes and dreams of a "Linux Forever" creed, an oath we should all swear to protect for ourselves and by ourselves. Fuck the end-users.
