Some things change and some things don't. The web servers are changing, but the home pc is not. Time will tell if there will be a major change for the home pc. Microsoft has mostly been with the IBM/compatible home pc since its been out (now just called the pc). People are afraid of change and always will be. Moving to open source is hard and some people won’t give in that easily. Over time and I hope the people will change and open there minds to open source. But the only way for mass change is if Microsoft died and people have no choice but to change over. Open source needs more support and people who write there software need to be more friendly when a person asks for help on their product. I heard from friends and just reading online that most of the open source people are vary snobby and expect the user to know everything. After a user has one or two experiences like this the user starts to dislike the new alternative. The open source community needs to stand together and understand if you write a program expect questions and yes even stupid ones. If we pull together and help out we can expect change. Support means stability of the product, and don’t be a prick about it.
