My answer; You'd get lots and lots of people taking up the Win
skeleton and tailoring it. The market would become overflowing with
competing versions of it; a bit like we have with gas and electricity
suppliers, who scramble their tariffs in order to befuddle the
punters, tell outright lies and rule; until eventually the gov would
have to step in and bring them to order.



It's happened already. Look at Linux distros. Nobody knows which one
is legitimate and which isn't. There are thousands of them and people
are simply not bothered with them anymore.

Best to stick with Windows or Macs knowing that somebody is in charge of
them. With Linux nobody is in-charge; It's become a big jungle that
people should avoid. you'll be safer in Taliban land!!!!.



Bull****. I have several web sites and the trackers used to put Linux at
less than one percent. Now it's 10 percent and climbing. If you want a
distro any Windows user can use, check out Netrunner. It has a start
menu and everything and it rocks.

Safer? LOL! Linux doesn't do malware. Windows does and it does it very well.
