I'm sorry if you feel that I'm flaming you. But, there are times when you make claims/statements where you don't back them up with facts and you expect users here to either read through some link to find them. It's not up to use to find the facts that support your statements, it's up to you to post them here. Other than that you are a good user here Gary. But when you claim that Linux is not for newbies then you lose credibility here. Just being honest..
So you are saying that someone goes out and gets a PC for the very first time, never been on the net can use Linux right out of the Box. You and others have flamed me for voicing my opinion. An opinion by definition does not have to be backed up by facts. You lose credibility here when you break the rules of this forum. :)
It is also my opinion that this thread should be removed as it is not based on any factual data from Microsoft and has turned into something that this Forum is not about.
It appears that there are two sets of rules here, one for the good ole boys and one for regular member's I have been flamed for two days and I get an Infraction.

Gary has also reported this item.
Reason: 1) Rudeness, insults, racial/hate slander, flaming, attacks, stalking, and trolling will not be tolerated.
2) No useless posts, e.g., thread bumping, useless one liners, junk posting to increase post count, and identical multi-postings in different forums.
All the best,
Windows 10 Forums
That is a perfectly valid opinion, though one with which I would totally disagree. If someone who could enforce the notion decided that all we are allowed to discuss on this forum is material which is based on factual data from Microsoft, then I would think that our options and topics of discussion would be severely limited. The next step would be a limit on data provided by certain people within Microsoft. A slippery slope methinks.
Sorry Gary, but I don't wish you flame you... or anyone but
How is any operating system different to any other.. as per, a new to computer user.
Whether it's M$, Apple or Linux they all have there "terminologies" on usage.
If a new pc is pre-loaded with A, B or C o/system, it's just the user manuals needed to be read.
Most users, new or old, are used to M$ terminology of some sort, why ???? it's the most common..
Whether there school, parents, work, friends or whoever has used one before, that's the common source of info.
If you grew up in a family based with Novel, Unix or network background then the common expression would more likely be Linux.
If you grew up in a family based with desktop publishing or graphics work it would more likely be Apple..
The majority of people have an influence based with M$, whether work or friends etc.
