Quoting error on my behalf, (quoted too much) sorry. Dianne claimed XP 
isn't supported, yet it is. Unfortunately I think the biggest problem is 
tribalism. If you want to show people something new, do so. It took me a 
long time to venture into Linux because people were concentrating too 
much why Windows was bad, not why Linux was good.

My opinions on building computers differ. People don't want desktop 
machines. The only justification is that they're cheaper, and play 
high-end games better. Laptops are what the people want. Tablet 
computers like the iPad are growing in sales. Netbooks are selling 
extremely well. Desktops are still used by businesses, but whole 
machines are replaced as soon as one breaks. Very few people are 
interested in the learning process of building a computer because 
there's too little to benefit from. The same cycle happens with all 
forms of technology.
