my mom is a happy Linux user. she got one of those "internet" courses
once, which was of course held on windows. she had been using Linux for
a few weeks then.
she came back saying "thanks for installing me Linux. I don't like that
windows thing."
so much for the old myth that windows is newbie-friendly and Linux is
not. marketing myths, all of it.
