Because a lot of us have or do have to deal
with "mixed environments". If the office Win
boxes all fry they'll call YOUR ass to deal
with it. Typical medium office may have one
or two Linux servers - but the rest use Win.

I'm not acquainted with this Linux distribution. Is it the usual
GNU/Linux, or is it something else? I actually thought there was
something like that name, "Windows NT", also from Microsoft, which was,
(IIRC not out of the box) POSIX-compliant to some extent - but that
wasn't a Linux system?
Well, do you know if this "Windows" has some of the usual amenities,
like a good visual editor (say, Emacs or vi or vim?), window managers
with virtual desktops (well, it is called "windows", so I'll guess it's
good at managing windows? surely something with this name must have been
one of the first systems to support virtual desktops), UTF-8 support, plug-and-play use of external displays that can be easily controlled
with command line utilities, seamless integration of remote graphical applications, a text-based online manual or decent terminal emulators?
And do you know if it comes with a 100% compatible Korn shell?

You very obviously have not understood a thing. That's not a surprise.

So we subscribe to Windows groups. No need to hear about this in a Linux group.

So computers not belonging to you to which you
back up appropriate information are useful tools.
On the other hand I do not use any part of
the "cloud" myself.

Hey, Local+Cloud IS the paradigm. Never trust
one or another.

The Cloud is great for distribution, but that's about it.

Yes it is another computer somewhere else and
not on your power line or in your home.

It's not another computer somewhere else. It's a lot of computers in a
lot of other places. It's very different from a single server on a
single data center as this sentence imply.
When OVH took fire a few years ago every one had fun with them because
It wasn't a real cloud and it crashed hard for some of their customers.
