>How linux has spoiled its users is shown in this article.

Himanshu, I feel this paragraph says it all and I feel it's the strength of
linux. This should be THE selling point for Linux. Most of the people are not
like us, who want to try out different things with there computer, experimenting
with installations etc. For them computer is a tool to help them in their
businesses, and is something that makes life simpler. So spending time
installing various packeges after windows has been installed can take away a lot
of time. And many people who know how to use a word processor may not know how
to install one. But with today's desktop linux, you get every thing as a
package. You have pointed us to a good article. Thanks.

A friend got a new laptop with Windows XP pre-installed. "Does this
come with an IRC program?" he asked. No, it doesn't. There are plenty
of IRC programs for Windows, but you need to download and install them
yourself. Word processing? Not included. Spreadsheet? Windows leaves
you on your own yet again. I swear, by the time you buy or download
all the software it takes to actually do something with Windows, you
might as well install Linux. It would take a lot less time. I don't
know about you, but my time is worth money, and if I need to do a
whole bunch of software downloading and installation to make my
computer usable, we're talking huge TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
