Hi Milly,

As for compiling it yourself, I am a user and have NO intentions of having
to learn to program, compile and use my personal time to get something to
work on a system warranted to "just work."

No one is forcing the user to spend their personal time, but the
difference is that they have a CHOICE. With Windows there is no choice
for the end user. The only choice for corporates is to use hacking and
reverse engineering, or wait weeks/months for hotfixes from Microsoft.
We're already waiting for two, and I've a feeling they're not very high
on Microsoft's list of priorities.

In the context of corporations, or home developers, having to recompile
something is a fairly minor chore, and means you can fix it the SAME DAY.

For end users, they can either wait around (like with Microsoft), or
they can interact with the community to get an unofficial update to tide
them over until the next release.

wanted to buy my parents a Mac Mini when they were considering a new
computer, but they wanted a PC. A Mini would have suited their needs
adequately, but it would have meant purchasing new software

Yes, I think this is the exact reason it's not been more popular.

The one thing I was worried about was setting up the network. I got a shock
when I found that all I had to do was plug the cable into the router!

Yes, I think this is where it's excellent for the non-technical user who
just wants to get it working on a small network, but a nightmare for
anyone running a big corporate network where you really don't want
computers thinking for themselves
