This article, although containing some harsh words (don't let kids read it), demonstrates my problems with Linux, and why I stick with the MS Windows platform.   I like standards.  I like Usability. 

Sure, I give up some control over how my machine works because I cannot directly manipulate the source code of the operating system.  I don't see that as such a bad thing.  By giving up some control here and there, I can a lot of flexibility in developing applications that can actually interact with other applications that I did not write.   Also, (and perhaps most importantly), my Mom can use these applications.
