That's easy enough to answer. Just replace Windows with MS-DOS in that question. No. It is because idiots are unable to cope with something they don't know -- The best OS in the world is ultimately useless ||| if it is controlled by a Tramiel, Jobs or Gates. / | \ |

The rest couldn't afford to compete. |

Even though linux is free, the general public would rather steal Windows than load linux. Is Windows really that good, or do we steal it just because we can, and **** all to Bill Gates? Yes, Windows really is that good. You see, Micro$oft is the *one* company on the *planet* whose product is *so* much better than *anyone* else's, that they *deserve* 90% of the market! Even Windows ME, and Vista, and 8, were all vastly superior to the alternatives. *Damn*, Micro$oft is good! *No* other company has done what they have! That's actually a true statement. Without Microsoft and IBM, the world of computing would be vastly different today. And yes, Apple would still be a useless platform for simplistic morons. Sheesh. No. It is because idiots are unable to cope with something they don't know Fear, uncertainty, doubt, and the whole "compatibility" thing. We're way past the "compatibility" issue. We don't trade documents any longer. Only hobbyists care about old programs. Everything can be virtualized so nothing dies. We use web interfaces, green screens, emails or virtual computing to get the job done. |

Because of Microsoft, I'm described by people who know me as, The kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being they've ever known in their life. You talking computers or your gay love life? Tell me about this 'gay love life'. I'm curious. In your experience, do you recommend it? He can't. He does not know anything about non-gays, so he can't compare Peter speaks from experience. |

In fact, I think Windows 10 will actually encourage the adoption of some Linux desktops because of the cleaner uncluttered elegant Linux desktop interface. Mint is a great candidate for example. Easily configured too. |

Easily configured too. People said that with XP, repeated it with Vista, echoed it when 7 came out and guaranteed it when 8 came out. No matter what terrible changes Microsoft brought, people _still_ refused to use Linux. It's like using a BMW and they changed the look of the dash and somebody tells you that you can use a Ford Focus instead. You'll stick to BMW because you know that Ford, in general, is awful... just like Linux. -- Slimer Encrypt. |
