Without reading the article and assuming the above is quoted from the
article, just hope Microsoft and MVPs and their diehard supporters could
remember and learn from it and understand that it's a normal behavior and
stop flaming people for being too lazy to learn anything.

It could work for you (as in this case) or against you if you are too
ignorant to know.

They don't want to spend time to learn it so they
bring it back to the store.

Exactly, these people want to keep the general public in complete ignorance
so that they can make huge profits for themselves.
I couldn't find anything difficult in learning Linux system and its a
wonderful system to work on it. I enjoy computing more now than before, only
regret is "why didn't I switch earlier".


Because you couldn't have handled the command line versions?



Perhaps this will help you if you want to use the command line:
