That precisely reflects my experience. I have a good friend, an  
engineer, who used to use NT. I convinced him to use Linux instead and  
have had a steep decline in the difficulty of support. He still asks  
me for help once in a while but it's pretty much routine fixes. Other  
friends with Windows still give me toothaches with the  
incomprehensibility of their issues. Like fixing a motor on a car with  
the hood welded shut.
