It depends on your perspective. The above could also be interpreted to mean, "There are a lot windoze user that are closet Linux users but just don't know it yet." This is just my misplaced optimism that somehow the MS juggernaut ownership of the desktop could somehow be challenged.

I use Gnome and KDE but the shell gives me complete power to do anything I want just like being root on any *nix. You can't say that about the DOS remnant of a command shell with windoze.

Regarding Microsoft's macro-hard hegemony, I'm still looking for justice in an unjust world. :-(

well, unlike you there are now starting to be a number of linux users that are just windows users in disguise.;-) case in point, duheveloper comes to me with his laptop and tells me his "windows oracle doesn't work anymore". someone had installed linux on the laptop with dual boot defaulted to linux running gnome. and he couldn't tell the difference. boot into windows and every thing works fine.
