Have you seen the help desk traffic for MS Windows?

It seems most people can't even run Windows. There is

no way these desk jocks will ever even consider anything

running, but do something different the the whole thing

crashes around them. They don't dare make a move again.
It will always be the people who push the envelope, take

chances and have the intellect that will run Linux distros.

It's a unique bunch and always will be.

I've maintained for a number of years that anyone with room temperature
