Don't forget the salient fact that the Linux community will actually try
to FIX bugs in the OS, as opposed to pretending they don't exist and
blaming the user.

You know, I have a real problem with this agruement, since most of the
huddled masses can't understand Win95. Why do we keep thinking Linux has
to do a much better job than Windows for people to accept it?
Give'em KDE and Star Office, most people would know what to do.
If it breaks, they'll do the same thing as Windows: Reinstall or call a
professional. Sounds to me like we are crediting the masses too much.
