Seriously? You aren't really trying to argue the point that windows has
better documentation than GNU/Linux.

That and the *goal* shouldn't be who has the most users.  The *goal* should
be a desktop that does what the user base needs it to do. The GNU/Linux user
communities need to stop this nonsense of trying to compete with Windows
and/or OS X.  Instead we should be focusing on building an operating system
that works for the existing user base. If its good other people *will* learn
it.
