Hey shit-for-brains, I never said that people will dispute the fact that
Windows is used more than Linux.

The only real value to Microsoft Office is being most compatable with
Microsoft Office. In whining about what applications won't run on Linux they
have stumbled onto yet another part of the Microsoft ecosystem that serves
to trap people.

Quality becomes quite irrelevant as everyone is paranoid about web
sites that are reputed to be incompatable with other operating systems
and reading their simple word documents.

This is Lemming FUD 101.

It's as old as MS-DOS.

....which brings us back to the whole "if it was better it would have
put us out of business" fallacy aptly demonstrated by pretty much the
entire history of MacOS.

It's a weak post factum argument meant to completely avoid adressing
any real issues with either WinDOS or any of the competition.

That doesn't really prove anything positive about it either.

That's the Lemming rationale? Millions of fast food eaters can't be wrong?

Why would I want to use an OS that I can't get stuff to work on... Like use
my software that will only work on a Windows PC, or Video/Audio Editing, or
my Flight Simulator... I have used Linux OS before, and not only can I not
use any of my software on it, I can't even get the video driver to work for
it, so the video is choppy. so I'm sticking with Windows 7
Microsoft, You have done a Great Thing!!!

Most never get the chance to try Linux because their computers come
pre-loaded with Windows. Things might be different if the consumer was
offered a choice of a Windows machine, a Linux machine or a machine
with no operating system on it.
The problem is that Microsoft has such a huge installed base, Linux
has a difficult time overcoming the Microsoft inertia effect. If
people aren't using Linux it's not because of the quality of Linux
because Linux is at least as good as Windows in many ways, better in
most and not as good in some others.

Really? And which of the 500+ linux distros would be offered?

It's called brilliant marketing of a worth while product.

I use Windows 7 and OpenSuse 11.2 equally and find them both to be
excellent to work with. I have Ubuntu also on other pc's because of
Micro$haft licensing and it works equally well.
