I strongly suspect these people are retarded
Yes. These two. If gnome starts highlighting installed programs, I’ll spazz out.
Seriously though, it’s whiny as shit. If you sit most Windows users, like the chick in the article, down at a clean install of Windows, know what you get? Blank stares.
Here’s what his review by proxy overlooks.
This was a more or less fresh install of Ubuntu, yet she had all of these applications at her fingertips, and many more available via Synaptic. Oh noes, it doesn’t spell out what it’s doing? Golly, that sure doesn’t happen in Windows, where everything is neatly categorized… wait… no.. that’s linux. Sure, apps can have funny names, but who cares? Are LimeWire and Outlook descriptive names? No. A better test for usability would have been to sit her down with a default install of Windows, and a default install of Ubuntu.
Also, Google bitch, you retarded feces monkey, and this complaint about linux not being competitive until an average user can do things without help is bullshit. People always need help, and this guy’s time would have been better served helping this woman out instead of making her jump through hoops for no reason. 10 minutes of instruction and she would have been off to the races, but no, this douche had a point to make, some crap agenda to carry out.
