And actually you are the one that _doesn't_ get it. I know that you sell Tiger for Windows as there is a market for it. Thus is the reason I say do not bite the hand that feeds you. You can rant all you want about Microsoft products and their practices. I am just tired of you throwing your worthless two cents into a "Windows" conversation. This entire thread that started as a call for help turned into yet another Christophe hates Windows thread. Congratulations.. your the center of attention again.. Your nothing but a child. Time to grow up Christophe. Linux will _never_ over take Windows. It is about time you faced that fact. Linux will never do it. It does not have the best of learning curves. It is rather technical in a society that wants things as simple as possible. Linux will never be that easy.
