“Microsoft drove me to Linux. Even though I make my
living with a computer, my needs as a PC user are pretty basic.
Mine is not to wonder why; I just want the thing to work.”

“Over the years, I’ve tried everything I can think of to get
Windows to work smoothly and reliably. I’ve been rigorous about
updating programs. I’ve reformatted my hard drive and gone through
the monotony of reinstalling my software numerous times. I’ve tried
Norton Utilities, Nuts & Bolts, Crashguard, First Aid and
more.

“They’re all good programs that help in small ways, but Windows
just keeps on crashing. I feel like I’ve been had. It’s always
the next version of Windows that promises to work
perfectly.”
