I'm far from a Microsoft fanboy, I just don't like to see people taking biased shots at Microsoft for what I consider a very good end-user product."Very good product"? Talking about Microsoft Windows? No, you are not far from a Microsoft fanboy, sorry.

Winning the Linux Wars (MCP) Posted Jan 9, 2006 20:53 UTC (Mon) by oak (guest, #2786) [Link] One thing in which Windows is better than Linux is that *all* the supportdocumentation (help files etc) is localized (translated). System which you don't understand is not very usable. Pro's on the Linux side are that Linux has partial translation to more languages than Windows and one can easily fill the missing translations even just be producing .po from the .mo file, translating what's missing and then converting it back to .po (+testing+iteration). The problem is that there should be more translators. (At home I've had Linux for last 10+ years and at work for last 8+ years, no Windows, but I have some relatives with Windows machines.)

The point is that Windows is not, all in all, a very good product: poor usability, bad support, lousy security record... It is difficult to find a worse combination.
