[Am-info] Desktop Linux is a tall, but not impossible, leap

[Fred Miller]

Similarly, about two months ago, Bill Gates said that one of the things that 
still annoyed him about Windows was the fact that is still crashed a couple 
of times a week. Now, that's on a one-person user basis. When you multiply 
that by the three or four hundred million Windows users that supposedly 
exist, you realize that having to shut down your computer and reboot it -- 
whether it takes a minute, or five minutes depending on the version of 
Windows -- is an enormous productivity loss for businesses on a yearly basis. 

Then, there's the superior stability of Linux. With the Xandros system, for 
example, you can set up the applications you use on a day-by-day basis, and 
you never have to turn the system off. It doesn't use up resources just by 
being on like Windows does and the system will run for two or three years 
without your ever having to do anything. There is no blue screen of death.""
