I think you are correct. However, the basic model of Windows vs Linux is fundamentally different. Windows source code is not available free (as far as I know). The power users, I assume like youself, will still be able to get under the hood of Linux and tweak it. If there is anything that you don't like about your Linux system you have the option to fix it. In windows if you don't like something you are basically S.O.L. F.Y.I. I run Redhat 6.0 and Win98, Win only for compatibiliy, and I'm old!! around 40!! Go easy on me, I'm brittle... :o) "robvdp" <robvdp@earthling.net> wrote: >Drivers maybe, but any more user friendly and Linux will become Windows, the >intensity of windows graphical interface, code obesity and profit driven >shortcuts in development are it's downfall and Linux developers should stay >well away from these.
