Can you imaging amount of human productive time wasted just getting Windows to work ???
Can we do a study on it. Lets ask our readers how much time they spend (or used to) fixing windows
- Downloading and installing software
- Running updated and reboots
- Hardware drivers
- Installing and updating antivirus, antimalware, antispam software
- Paying money to buy all the above and keeping a copy of CDKey for all the above and paying for upgrades every year
- Boltware and slow downs after a month of usage
- Incompatibility and frequent breakdowns
- Annoying popups (security alert, new hardware found, etc..)
LOL.
Thank you and bye bye Microsoft.

Mainsoft has always appeared to be helping people migrate/port from Windows to GNU/Linux servers. It’s a little different from Linux development (from scratch) using .NET/Mono, but not free of concerns.
