    Of course, this is not a rare or unusual story at all. All of us former Windows users have seen this lots and lots of times. Why people who come to linux can't tolerate similar troubles in their first goddamn week is beyond me. People forget too quickly I think.

    Hello Rami. Windows like any other Operating System is userfriendly or not ust user friendly depending on the people's patience, knowledge, and luck.

    As for luck, the count down error that you were getting, that's a known virus that targets WinXP. I had one before.
    That *** Virus targets every single Windows XP that doesn't have SP2 installed. All you have to do is to connect to the internet for just five seconds to get infected. Yes, I am not exaggerating, I was one of the victim. ><;


    You will have to install GNU/Linux or if your mother wants to maintain her Windows, then you must do a virus scan AND update her Windows XP (Most likely it doesn't have the latest Service Pack).

    Well. Keep posting interesting articles!
