Yes, wake up! M$ "innovates" their products by trying to
copy their competitors (just like when they built Windows
NT trying to copy unix or linux OSes, and did a very
crappy job of it)and buying out any and all competing
companies who innovate features and products that would
blow any M$ product out of the water!!! Remember the
antitrust lawsuit?!

If you and Bill Gates got your collective heads out of
your a$$es, you would realize that there are flavors of
linux out that require little to no command line usage
from users. Oh, I almost forgot, Bill can't actually fit
his head up there since your nose is hogging it all.
Also, it's not Linux Torvalds, it's Linus Torvalds, rofl!
If the linux contributors were to "work hard to make users
have to use the command prompt less" than the little to
none they need to use it now, they would have a
overbloated, insecure, bug-ridden POS just like Windows
xp, but it would still be better becuase there would be no
product activation, and it would still be free!!! PMSL

If you have such a choice in your workplace, then you are
one of a very few. True, noone puts a gun to your head to
make you run Windows but if you "choose" to run Windows
XP, then Billy boy holds the "PA gun" to your head,
including those who have paid for the software. Not to
mention that for years and years, since Windows 3.1 in my
memory, M$ has made their software easy to pirate in a day
and age when most people don't even know they are pirating
or that such a thing as pirating of an OS exists. MS knew
what they were doing then, and now they have their
monopoly.
