Windows IS the only OS that matters WHEN we are talking about "hand
holding". Anyone who uses Unix/Linux and cries about downloading
dependencies is just doing so for sake of discrediting the opposite
position. Only the lemmings would believe such nonsense. Unix/Linux
are NOT hand holding OS's. Thats what windows is for.

And the argument presented earlier (i think Octavian) about how the
majority of accessibility users are using windows is spot on! Anyone
who also denies this fact is just contributing more BS to the "devils
advocates" here. I am not suggesting that accessibility is not
important to a small sub set of Linux users. However the fact is that
the majority of "special needs" folks use windows. And thats a fact!
