Yeah, nah.. that might be alright for those as care, but the average mug
pooterist these days...just wants something that works, with the things they
have to interact with... you can wrestle with a linux gui until it might
finally do what you need, or you get the default install of WindBlows, and
bolt on whatever mediocre software will do your bidding despite any perceived
shortcomings... how it comes about is far less important than it does what
you need it too.

When either one will do the job its just a matter of how, then no there is no
compelling reason to swap from one to another.  It's not like you're going to
be able to bang out an email, write a document of your preferred perusausion,
browse the interwebs or play the occasional game... to the exclusion of the
alternate platform... so no...

Think of it this way... the Apple II  had Visicalc, it was "THE" killer
application people bought the II to run the software... there is nothing
equivalent on either platform now.
