“Are you normally a Microsoft Windows user who now is using
Linux as a second or alternative computer operating system? Or, are
you making the switch from Microsoft (MS) Windows to Linux? If so,
then chances are that you want your Linux installation to look and
to feel as much like MS Windows as possible.”
“Fair enough. That’s both reasonable and understandable. The
more Linux looks and feels like MS Windows, the less time and
effort you need to invest in learning Linux and Linux
applications.”
“As an individual computer user it is important to you that you
can get right into using your Linux-based computer for getting work
done, playing games, surfing the Net, or whatever you do with your
MS Windows-based computer. If you are an IS/IT manager, it is
important that your people make the transition from MS Windows to
Linux with a minimum of training-cost investment and with a minimum
of productivity loss during training and transition.”
