And Linux really isn't harder to learn unless you have WinDoze on the brain from using MS stuff for too long. If Linux is the first OS a person learns, the difference is moot. To a newbie, learning Windoze is pretty damn hard. Linux is not harder than Linux to learn, just different.

PS-
Gosh those hardcore MSers are defensive.
Plus the Linux world isn't even interested in getting huge market share cause we ain't getting rich off it like ol' Bill. We just like to have quality, customizable tools at out disposal without being controlled by the whims of a Monopoly and having to pay for the "privilege".
