Believe it of not,  I have people that call me all the time that are tota=
lly=20
lost in windows.  They have no idea how any of it works.  It get's even=20
better when the computer contracts a virus and they have no clue as to ho=
w to=20
remove it.

There are savy people in windows just as there are in linux,  however the=
re=20
are also just as many if not more that have no clue how any of this stuff=
=20
works.

I have several people that know little or nothing about computers that I =
put=20
on SuSE Linux.  They have little or no questions because everything that =
they=20
need or use is already a part of linux,  ie,  Oppenoffice, kmail, knoq,=20
mozilla,  games, and the list just goes on.

I just did a job last week for a company that got a virus.  They were sup=
rised=20
that their windows 98 said they were using illegal copies of the software=
=20
(even though they had valid copies for each machine) and their machines w=
ould=20
no longer boot,  and everything was wiped.
