Erm, I think there is something that nobody has really said here in
relation to the article. It is not a level playing field! The guy
says it takes longer to install SuSE 9.3 than XP. What sort of
install was it? Even a basic SuSE install gives you a wide range of
software besides the OS. By this I mean full office software. Does
XP? Nope. Then let's take a look at hardware comaptibility. If the
hardware manufacturers wrote drivers for Linux then yes, it could be
compared like for like with Microsoft software. Until then it cannot
be. This is not SuSE's fault or Novell's it is part of a bigger
argument about M$ and their business practises. It affects me as I
have hardware that will not run under Linux, I accept this and just
look forward to the day that the manufacturers have sense. After all,
I have a television which picks up the 5 terrestrial stations here in
the UK. If I want SKY I have to buy a SKY box. So I can't compare my
tv to a tv that will pick up SKY broadcasts. But this is what so many
people do with Linux and M$.
