When I first saw, and scanned this article on Linux Today, I immediately dismissed it as just another rant by an elitist propeller head, but thought twice about it, and posted it here for all to enjoy.

We had house guests last weekend, and one of them asked to use my computer to check his email. I flipped the computer on for him, and a couple minutes later, he came back into the family room, with a blank stare on his face. He had no idea what to do with Feisty.

So, I spent some time showing him what to do, and he checked his email, and he asked me to send him some info on Ubuntu.

Monday, I emailed him some links to the Ubuntu home page, a couple of other sites, and a list of Linux alternatives to the Windows programs he was using.

A couple of days later, I got a return email from him, telling me that he had read it all, plus apparently, a lot more, and had decided to stay with Windows.

His primary reason?

"Too many choices with Linux."

I didn't tell him, how funny I thought that statement was...
