I do´t know where you are coming from, but I personally installed a TV card on Linux and Win xp . On Linux I did not configure anything it just worked as opposed to that other system,also bought a HP bubble jet printer, on Linux I just clicked add printer and 2 minutes later it was working fine on windows after about two reboots it was finally working. I also gave my boss who is 75 years old , and he has never ever used a computer , my old computer which is a dual boot system Win98se and Mandrake 9.1, guess what? he prefers Linux as he reckons its easier to navigate (KDE) now stick that in your pipe and smoke it. People like you are just a bunch of sheep who don know any better and follow everythink blindly if it comes from Microsoft. Wally

Wow, slow down and read what he's saying.

He's not saying the study is wrong, he's saying that they didn't give details that are fairly important to judging if the study is valid or not.

Your anticdotal evidence is hardly proof of anything, in any case..
