    I wish.

    There might be a small uptick of new Linux installs, but MS will just power on and the vast majority of Windows users will remain in that abusive relationship. :sigh:

      Yeah. People just don’t make the effort to “learn a new OS”.

      They get crazy if the icons are in some other place than they are used to on Windows.

      Let’s see the facts here ppl.

        It has more to do with corporations than individuals. Microsoft doesn’t pay the bills from great grandma Ethel’s Windows license, they have a corporate revenue stream they need to keep locked in.

          Yes the real money is in corporations, of course. And large companies won’t change anytime soon.

          But let’s face it, as i was refering on a individual level, is any of your non tech savy family and friends install an other OS other over Windows?

          I find that rather hard to believe.

          People are creatures of habit.
