I sympathize with people who live in Microsoft's world. I spent years helping them, editing their registries over the phone to remove viruses that Norton Utilities couldn't.
I know you can live without a command line interface, but it doesn't make you your best person. (awkward phrasing. deal)
I think Linux is closer to Windows than is the Mac OS. Every time I want to copy or paste, I still hold down what should be the Command key and all it does is drop a menu in the menu bar.
So I click off that and use Ctrl.
I've never given a dollar to Microsoft in all these years, just fine; but now Bill Gates wants to inject something directly into my body.
