Hi Everyone,
After years of frustration with an increasingly obtuse microsoft management, I have made the switch to a linux OS, in particular, Ubuntu Studio. I must say I am in general most impressed with this robust and stable operating system. That being said, I have come to a conclusion which I am sure will be controversial. The best way to beat the competition is to LEAD it. I believe that this is why almost all linux developers still cling to the terminal window as a means of interacting with the computer, because if we were ever able to just activate a function from the GUI (like say "print") then no one would ever buy windows again. Most people don't want to learn a command language and have to open a terminal and type in a command every time they want to activate a simple task. So I believe that further development of the linux GUI is deliberately stiffled. Just my opinion.
