You have a point, but just because it isn't _my_ idea of
fun to watch an hourglass cursor spin, set through a boring
install procedure every couple of weeks to coax the machine
into performing better, all the while spending more money
on hardware and software "necessities" that fix bugs in the
system the should have never appeared, and worrying about my
email client transferring "viri" around...

Well, that doesn't mean that it's not somebody else's idea of
fun. It obviously must be; just look at the healthy user base
they've got.
