Support lines may help, but the best support is someone you know you can

I'm going to install it on another acquaintences machine, as he is
interested in moving away from Microsoft.

I wonder how many support calls RHEL and the other enterprise Linux

Come to think of it, the only time Ive ever known somene to call
Microsoft support, may have been, *may* have been at work, where the
IT Admin might have been having trouble with the companies email
server running Microsoft Exchange.  But I don't know of any home user
who has called it.

I don't think many people think of using the support, they generally
ask people they know, or to go forums.
