So yeah, I went to Barnes and Nobles today, and saw a LINUX section. I was curious, so I decided to take a look. Guess what I saw?
The first 6 shelves in the LINUX section were filled with Windows VISTA books. The very last shelf had 10-15 LINUX books.

That's because normal people don't use Linux.

Normal people /do/ use Linux. Just look at me, I use it, and I'm normal.

Linux my arse. It should say 'mostly Windows, but like 10-15 books of LINUX'

Normal people would take one look at Linux and give it 10 seconds of thought before continuing on with their lives.

I'm a microsoft fanboy at heart.....

If the shelf says Linux, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE VISTA??
I'm a growing un-fan of Windows, but can't decide if I should use a 3rd party program to run windows programs from Linux or OSX. The result of this question will possibly sway what I order when I have the cash to replace this old junker. I like to tinker, but not as much as Linux may require. Then again, I don't like how a Mac distances me from the actual files themselves. Btw I'm eyeing a Dell with Ubuntu or however it's spelled :) | |
Microsoft will fail. Gentoo Linux will provail!

I thought it was kinda funny, but at the same time I was annoyed. I saw the category from a distance, and thought to myself, "Hey, I have been wanting to give Linux a second try...maybe they have an idiots guide to linux or something..." I get over there, I see "All about Windows Vista", "Hacking Vista","Why Windows Vista?", "Windows Vista IT" and my favorite, "Vista for dummies".
I did find the Linux book I wanted, but it was 20 bucks outta my range. 10 dollars doesn't go too far anymore... | |
