Get real - frontline support will be trained to understand what the
majority of their users need or want.  Go off the beaten track - and
Linux has a way to go yet before it is a threat to the Windows market

vendors.

I'm sure there are exceptions, if anyone wanted to be constructive
they could list them here.
