Linux is not yet that user friendly for those of us that see our computer as a commodity/tool

I have moved ninet people from Windows to Ubuntu within the past 6 months.

They came to me with heavily infected and/or non-operational windows machines.

In short order most were able to get comfortable with Ubuntu and fall in love with it.

Not one has called back with a problem. A few were true computer neophytes -- deathly afraid of leaving windows.

I hated windows so much that I bought OS2 Warp, and I also tried Ubuntu about four years ago.

In both cases, the dual boot was too much. I expect to switch it on and it works. And works with pretty much any software I can get. I suppose if I had an internet only machine with rudimentary word processing needs I might consider linux. Actually, I’ve got two computers collecting dust. I should try it again with one of them.
