[LBo] Microsoft Will Win

I have been following this "basic" forum for a while and from what I have 
read it appears that making the switch from Microsoft to Linux is going to 
require that I live my life over.  If so, the very idea of Linux being a 
contender for the home computer user market is a pure fantasy.

Having written in Machine Code before most of you were born, graduated to 
Assembly Language while you were still in diapers and messed around with 
Fortran while you were sleeping on a rug in kindergarten, I certainly have 
no desire to re-live any part of that even if the prize at the end is the 
glory of understanding Unix and C++.
To me, the computer is just a fancy tool. Windows XP does the job just fine 
except that I hate all monopolies, Microsoft especially, and would like to 
use Linux to preserve my integrity. What I need is something like a 
"qna at BasicLinuxBasics.org"

So I ask - Does anyone know of a forum which might be for me?
Regards,
Lynn
