I am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don't drive usability issues.
Let me give you my experience from yesterday.

Linux is open source, Linux is my b**ch. The first part of the sentence is the reason the second part is true. I've heard Macs are pretty usable, but I'd rather go to the web when I have a problem, since I'm not exactly drowning in money.

If Linux could get game developers to make games for Linux, there would be absolutely no reason at all for a well informed consumer to buy Windows.

This isn't even a soap box post, this is a freakin' reality check.

Linux is better. Period.
