</div>I disagree. He makes a very valid point. New installs of Windows always<br>
come up with a tutorial and "helper" app. I have never seen anything like<br>
that on Linux. It's as if the developers are too busy with programming the<br>
next iteration of their favorite app to be bothered with documentation, and<br>
NO ONE has yet come up with a grand-unified "help" document (trust me "man<br>
$appname" doesn't always work...)<br>
<div><div></div><br></div></blockquote></div><br>Seriously? You aren't really trying to argue the point that windows has better documentation than GNU/Linux. <br><br>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. <br>
