I've noticed a rather peculiar thing happening of late. Sure, any "savvy" computer user will run off and install a pirated copy of Vista rather than learn a new O/S.

But it's the absolute beginners, or the folks just now moving off of Win98, that take to Linux like a duck to water. It's no harder to learn to use than the other newfangled stuff out there, and a heck of a lot cheaper.

So, I think I might just start recommending Linux only for new non computer savvy users. They seem be to taking to it naturally, so why not encourage it. smile
