Hellow every one
Lets talk a bit about learning this system
Lets say that there is a new compter user who no nothing about the computers

if this user need to learn a computer system he will select Windows...
But why does not this user select MAC or Linux
He may not select Mac couse it too expensive as a new user
Now We have windows and Linux
Lets now together but both of these OS near and see the different
as a new user he need the easyest to be learned and deal with
Windows can really be for the new user couse Its MUCH easyer than linux
simply need to install anew APP just open the control pnel and use ADD/Remove programs
Need to install a new hardware .. The same thing
Need to use the programs
its easyer + Windows have a huge database of help
and first of all most of the programs are for windows Even if there is WINE in Linux

as an advance user and a good C programmer he may select linux harder and better security and open source
But the problem still in linux is using it how to
install a new program or hardware
even installing the OS it self
for me this is normal but I am talking about the new user

Lets talk about this
think about it

Xeen:
I agree with you 100%.

Windows is shit, but it's very user friendly. Although my opinion is that since XP and with the upcoming Longhorn it's TOO friendly and just childish.

Linux is good, stable, and very customizable, but it's not as user friendly. Sure, it's getting there. But slowly and painfully. People want an OS that's not just good and stable, but also one where they don't have to care about compiling sources and kernels, etc...

I think the answer is something like Mac OSX. It's pure Unix but it has a very friendly shell that lets you do every single thing you need to do. All we need is for something similar to come out for PCs.

hm_murdock:
You mean something like GenSTEP and Komodo

Talium:
Someone who doesn't know anything about computers will chose Win cose it is not only user friendly but also the most popular OS. In my country most people(those that have no idea about computers) doesn't even know that other OS's exist and they all have windows. And the majoraty of those who know aboud other OS's don't use it eighter.

WMD:
Windows seems very easy and intuitive, only because everyone has been made familiar with it.  There's plenty of people who don't know how to do much in Windows except run their programs - they can't do anything to the system.  I'll let a Mac user take it from here....  ;)
