I’m a 40 year old who has switched. I’m also a teacher who teaches both adults and children. I’ve found that it is actually the 30+ users that are more ready to make the switch. Younger users may dabble but stay with MS and are actually very conservative. They learn’t on windows at school and use it for gaming and believe the fud. They are also more receptive to peer pressure and don’t want to be seen using some ’weird’ os’. The older users don’t care what it is as long as it works and is stable. They also remember pre Win95 and are more receptive to other OS. Finally cost comes into it. I’m a family man and need to balance my computer and hardware thirst with feeding the kids :) A new MS OS is just too expensive and doesn’t let me do what I want.

I’m a 62-year-old who is fascinated by different os’s. I started with Apple II, then Mac, Windows 95, 98, and XP. Along the way I’ve tried Red Hat 7, SUSE 9, Ubuntu (dapper) and Linux Mint (Bea) - based on Ubuntu. I am somewhat ADHD, so I get frustrated by command line. I want an OS that appeals to my need to be independent of Big Brother ( either OSX or Windows). I still haven’t found a Linux distro that installs without problems, but I’m still trying. Some of the Linux help sites are swamped by newbies with technical problems. I admire the moderators who patiently try to help. It shouldn’t be so hard. For example, why is my browser slower in Linux than in XP? Why did have to install SUSE 3 times before it worked? I think Linux will have arrived when these problems more or less disappear.

In the meantime, is anyone else keeping an eye in Haiku? It’s a re-write of BeOS, optimised for a gui desktop. It’s in progress, and you can check it out at Haiku.com. I can hardly wait to give it a test run!

You see, young fellers? Even old farts like to experiment with new stuff.

I Am a 40 year old heavy Pc user.I Have tried and used every distro of windows starting at 3.1 to vista . 18 year olds have no idea..they think they do and yes they can change reg edits and run a few proggies but i only give credit to c or c++ writers that really do the nitty grittty, the few 18 year olds that can do this i will nod my head at.. Otherwise i have played with linux since redhat 6.1 and have tried them all .Ive compiled and rpmed my little head of and pull my hair out like no tomorrow...but at the end of the day linux can do everything i want after i spend 2 weeks configuring and stuffing about..windows can do it within an hour but is corupt within two weeks and is so slow and cant even really multitask it mutiplexes and stuffs about, does a millisecond here and there but after every program steals my bandwidth and robs my resources it worthless. Even Xps file structure was stolen from linux.So 40 plus do change operating systems...we were writing dos when you where in nappies...wake up junior. your probably dont even know what boolean is.

My only grip is the style heet for the main body of the article makes reading the articlea pain in the eyes for me (19" CRT) I’ll have to try on the 17" TFT and see if it looks nicer. But fear not as I too suck at commanding nix about and must site with a web browser open on an XP box to anything. Funny thing was back pre 3.1 I was red hot with DOS... funny.

I get the reviews and I understand why they’re done this way. However I think it’ll be a good indication when you’re able to use a laptop to do the reviews.
