If you ask any one that used Microsoft Windows then you would know that they don't like using it and that they would give anything to have a Microsoft Windows replacement.


I guess someone needs to be the 'Simon Cowell' of the group.

The reason most people don't like Windows is very different from why most Amigans don't like Windows.

Most people are not computer experts making commentary about the direction of computers or making astute observations about the future of human-computer interfaces.

Basically all most people are really saying is that computers are complicated and they are not.

Those same people wouldn't like Mac OS X, Linux, or Amiga OS, because they are all too complicated for them, and they make them feel stupid.  Yes, they would like a new windows 'in theory'...but they don't want a new operating system 'in practice.'

Since Windows is the one OS, that they were forced to learn, at least partially understand, those people whose frustration you are counting on to switch platforms, would actually be the last people to ever switch platforms, they are going to clutch to their little bit of knowledge to the last.

its complicated...I know, but life is complicated.  Ironically, the computer experts are the most likely to switch platforms...and those people, unfortunately, are expert and know when an OS has almost no features or advantages.
