I can't disagree.Â* It does not matter how technically
superior Linux is if you can't get your work done
on it.

Â*From what I see, my customer never know what OS they are
running as they don't care.Â* I have to remote in and
look for myself.

The customer could care lees if they were running the
Flaming Zucchini OS, as long as they got their work done.
We IT folks are a little bit more "picky".

I only run one app that requires a Windows virtual
machine: Go TO Assist.Â* I bitch a lot about it
to them.

As far as your test goes, if you are use to Linux, then your
would find it hard to do things on Windows.Â* Often times it
is what you know.

Look at all the Apples users out there.Â* They HATE Windows
and can't get Windows to do anything they want.Â* It is
because they have learned to do it the Apple way and
CAN'T LEARN ANYTHING NEW.Â* Just like those use to Windows.

It's not all about 'can't'.
I'm sure I CAN learn to drive a car with the steering wheel
on the right side.
I'm confident that it will get me where I need to go with almost
as much safety...up until I have an emergency that relies on
experience and muscle memory.
I can always get out of the car and walk around to the payment robot
at the car park.
BUT WHY would I go out of my way to do so for no perceived benefit?

The world runs on local standards.
People resist change.
Desktop linux violates both by intent.


Let me rephrase that.
The world runs on existing conditions at the current location.

Linux actually tries to respect standards. Microsoft is the one that
usually breaks those standards and relies on its operating system's
popularity to rewrite the standard to its benefit.


Yes, now you have verbalized why desktop linux ain't a threat to the big
dog,
Windows.
It's not FAIR. It's probably illegal. But the world is better off than
if the desktop had been unmanaged by disorganized individual hobbyists
with disjoint self-interests.

If you want to appeal to windows refugees, you gots to do what it takes
to smooth the transition. Yelling, "You're too stupid to use the
massively superior desktop linux," ain't helpful.
There is nothing that you can do to make MS do anything...except maybe
**** them off so they stomp you into the ground.
The best you can hope for is to emulate what they do. But don't be too
successful or they'll stomp you into the ground.
And that's why there's little competition. The risk/reward ratio is
unfavorable. You're gonna get stomped into the ground.

If somebody tried to enter your home without permission, I bet you'd
be trying to stomp them into the ground. EXACTLY THE SAME CONCEPT.
