i tried linux once upon recomendation from a friend and wiped it within 1 week because basicly its not much good for teh average home user and even watching a simple movie file was a job and a half
yes linux has improved but i still dont think it will ever replace windows , as much as i dont like bill gates his stuff works fine for me
the linux ,windows debate reminds me of teh short lived battle between vhs and the v2000 video players , teh v2000 was better picture , better sound and you could record on both sides of the video cassette like a normal audio tape but the vhs was too well established and the v2000 never picked up in poularity simply because there wasnt the same amount of films available and you couldnt play your old movies on them etc
linux is in teh same boat , i couldnt swap over to linux if i wanted to because all my products work on windows and untill linux make that happen iem staying put
i believe lindows came close but i never realy followed it , has it got better ?
