The point I was getting at, was that people were switching from windblows to gnu/linux because they got tired of microsoft, and all that goes along with that, and not because gnu/linux is easier to use then windblows. From a couple of messages I've seen on this list, some people seem to have taken easier, and substituted it with "better". Just because windows is easier to use, doesn't mean that it's better in my opinion. However, that is also just my opinion. As has been pointed out, the ability to effectively use gnu/linux separates the men from the boys. As we've also seen on this list in the past, more then once, some people after struggling with gnu/linux for a long while decide that windows is better for them, and that they would rather pay out to all the greedy corporations, and use windows exclusively. So, the question of which is better is a personal opinion, and I will not argue that point. Now, if the word superior had been introduced into this discussion, I would definitely argue that in favor of gnu/linux. As I've said though, I believe personally that gnu/linux is the better os, and if I have an option of doing something in either windows or gnu/linux with equal accessibility, I'll choose to do it in gnu/linux hands down.
