Often true.  And the fact that Windows is still more usable, *despite* 
that problem,
merely proves my point.

Linux, compared with Windows:

- is more stable
- gives better performance
- is less vulnerable to attack
- is philosophically appealing

But it is pish awful - *so* pish awful as to overwhelm those undoubted 
advantages - when it
comes to the average desktop user's needs.
