That is total B.S. I would venture to guess that you'd have difficulty
installing MS from scratch as well. I'll grant that Linux can be a bit of
a bother to install and set up properly - but in my experience it's still
easier and faster to do than MS. Once it is properly installed and set up
it is no more difficult to use than MS is, it's only a little different -
AND I have living proof of that.
