And there you have it ladies and gentlemen.
Blame the user.
Blame the hardware.
Blame the configuration.
Blame the gui.
Blame.......

Blame anything but Linux itself and that is really sad because it is
Linux that IS the trouble.

For instance, who cares if MSOffice pre-loads things?
All I want to do is start my Office Suite and switch back and forth
between applications.
Windows does this in a heartbeat.
Linux and Openoffice?
Slow as molassas at 40 degrees F.

That's the problem with Linux advocates, they can't see the forest for
the trees.
IOW an end user only cares about how fast something loads and runs.
All the crying about Microsoft doesn't change a thing.
You want the end user to switch to Openoffice?
Make it load faster.

Also notice the clever switches to other applications.

BTW Rythum Box is terrible.
That one took almost 2.5 hours to load in 40k mp3s and when it plays it
takes up tons of resources.

BTW how do I select which sound system and card I use with it.
Xmms, for all it's faults does this easily.
Juk, Rhythm box,amarok seem to have no way of doing this.
BTW I am not interested in gstreamer which is yet another Linux
braindead soundsystem.
And that's another question, why so many dam sound systems with Linux?
Windows has ONE and it works with EVERYTHING.
Linux must have 10 and they all suck.
