Nah. That was a once-Windows, now-Linux user who found out he has to go looking for an alternative the 34th time this week

Mind you, I'm not bashing Linux. My daily work revolves around it, as I have designed and built an embedded system on top of Debian Testing. I also maintain it, so I work with Linux daily.

If I need a bunch of webservers, or If I need an operating system to build something on top of, which goes into some sort of appliance/mini-computer, I'd go for Linux (or BSD) every time.

However, I also have a lot of experience with Linux on the desktop, and though I can make it work, finding workarounds or alternatives for stuff that is readily available on Windows just takes too much time. For people who just want to use THEIR OWN software stuff on the desktop, Linux is a 100% no-go, except if that software happens to be open source already, such as Firefox/Thunderbird/Calibre, etc.
