More hokum. I find Windows difficult and Apple is nearly opaque to me. Why? Because I don't use them. I could learn if I made the effort, but I have no reason to try. I can't justify spending the money and then spending months getting back to where I am now.

As for the paucity of pre-installed Linux systems, I'm sure that will change once computers become appliances like phones and tablets.
