Yes, but for a sited person they can just use a gui quite easily... Its not that hard to use, but yes maybe a little more complicated than windows.

But unfortunately we are not sighted. And if something is more complicated... is it something good?

Yes, I was just saying... Its not too hard for us though.


If Ms keeps its policies as it is, there will huge merge from Windows to
Linux in next five years. This is what I feel.

I would hope so.

If you hope so, this means that we can't believe anything you say because you are biased.

I am? Or I just don't like putting money in people's pockets who don't deserve it?
What should I have said?

I don't care if Linux or Windows will be better after who knows how many years. If Linux will become better as you hope, I will start using Linux. If Windows will be better, I will continue to use Windows. It is simple.

Well it is already good and lots of blind users are using it.


Why should I want a certain OS to be better? They are not my own systems, so I don't anything to earn if one or another is better.

One you must pay for one you must not.
One is open source one is not.
One has lots of documentation one does not.

Just a few points.
