I don't have Linux but you guys make it hard to like it.

You crazy mad man, are you trying to start a world war ??

I'm not really sure how you figure that my comment makes Linux hard to like.

I simply don't like the direction Microsoft is headed in, and haven't for some time. Many people don't like it. Microsoft recently may have had a realization as a company and they might change their current direction, but I still doubt I'll go back. They expected me to pay twice for software that I paid a "lifetime license" for, only because I upgraded the CPU in my computer. If you think that somehow makes Linux look bad, then I don't know man...

I run my email inside a virtual machine, so it was easy for me to switch over from Windows/Outlook to Linux/Thunderbird. I certainly don't expect everyone to switch.

No one or almost no one specifies whether they use $OS at work or for their own stuff, or whether the work $OS is mandatory for the organization.

And at home... the IT HNer probably has everything. I'd bet everyone who says they use Mac OS on the desktop also has Linux boxes.

Guilty.
