@kupa, some Linux users actually believe that most home users will be able to just use and love it so much they'll never want to go back to Windows again.Personally, I lost faith in the average home user when I was once asked to fix a laptop that had stopped updating and needed the version of Office that came with it needed to be activated. It couldn't update anymore because the daughter had filled the entire 80gig HD full, with Sailor Moon episodes.
sucks for me. I love working on cars, I happen to do computer repair for work, and I used to fix/sell mobile phones.Maybe no one likes me cause I haven't been asked to fix anything for quite some time.
This article is pathetic ... most Tech Support that I know (counting myself amongst that list) will help you with personal computers -- either as a friend, doing another friend a favor; or barring that, as part of some hourly payment schedule ... and don't get me started on the ethics of personal use software licensing ...

My parents are the only ones I'll help. The only problem is they usually tell people.
