       | Most of your GUI users are on Windows, and unix shell commands
       | mostly do not work or are aliased to other commands that don't
       | work exactly the same way as they do in GNUland.

         | Installation instructions for Windows are horrifying -- page
         | after page of pictures, with circles and arrows and a
         | paragraph... And when the OS is updated, all of the dialog
         | layouts and icons change just a bit and you're lost. Just gimme
         | some shell commands.
