   Platform(s)?   
      
   And the Linux offering is like a Corvette that gets delivered to   
   your door in 800 boxes and a manual with a single piece of paper in   
   it that says "assemble all the parts so the finished product looks   
   like the picture on the box".   
      
   That's one reason why Linux fails and why people would rather spend   
   $150.00 than waste their valuable time trying to make Linux work.
