perhaps you just fail to get the point that apart from other things, 
freedom to choose is one of the things that i and i assume a lot of 
other users love so much about linux. personally i have nothing against 
other OS's, i just pity their users who are stuck with looking at teh 
same desktop, day after day after day. yeah sure they are blessed 
frequently with a blue screen to get them out of their mind numbing 
stupor, but then again that is a whole new story.
