Linux is still the young bride. You need to commit.
Average Joe likes the big fat whores. Hell yes, average Joe is a corporate d1&k. Marketing is the heaven for Joe. He can see himself as a superman behind his crapwin7. With 10000 warnings pop-up, 100 Gib daily security updates, all of a sudden, his life as a meaning. He really is in control.

If Microsoft would put 1 pound of sh¤t in a nice box,then people would pay for it.
If ubuntu would sell for 50 bucks and windows would be free,people would buy ubuntu,
This world is upside down...

The problem with linux is that there's way too many distros out there and the average user becomes overwhelmed. Also Linux, gui type BSD, etc. (in most cases) don't have the support that windows does. I installed PCBSD about 5 months ago and my highly popular Atheros wifi card wasn't supported...
I find linux great for all the options it give you as an admin and a programmer but for everyday use -- which is what most people use computers for, Windows is king. Plus win7 isn't pretty darn good.

Microsoft / Bill - was lucky and timing was right. Of course that led to domination. I don't know of any other company that could release a flawed product year after year...and charge for it... and get away with it. The consumer allowed Micosoft to happen. Ubuntu is ready for most households that need to surf, email and write a document. It's time for the consumer to support Linux and send a clear message to bad service providers like Microsoft.As support for Linux grows, so will the development of drivers, software and the general availability of support techs.

Technically, PCBSD is BSD, not linux. FreeBSD(base of PCBSD) doesn't support much stuff, unlike linux.

No, windows is not the best thing that happened to the world, but microsoft is. Windows is the only flaw in microsoft, which led to other bigger flaws. Linux can pwn windows if canonical start making commercials for it. Have you guys ever seen a single commercial for Linux?

Linux is good for coders. Not for ordinary people, because most of the applications are installed using codes, which ordinary peple can't do; they expect double click and install. so choice of OS is as per requirements.

IMNSHO Microsoft;
I steal
I improve and sell
I accuse customers of stealing and make them prove otherwise every day.
If you cannot prove otherwise then you must buy another and prove you did every day.
I stop support and force you to buy another and prove you did every day.
I guess it might be easy for some to understand this line of thinking at least until they replace
a component and are denied access to there data because of piracy paranoia from the wealthy giant Microsoft.
If this happens to you, I hope you can still read the key numbers on that sticker. I could not and microsoft expressed
their sorrow for my loss and offered to sell me another OS of my choice at my favorite reseller.
I had a second computer MB failure and the key would not work on the replacement and the result was the same.
It's no wonder Microsoft customers HATE Microsoft whether they admit it or not.

the difference between windows and linux is like the difference between brocolli and candy, except this brocolli keeps on getting tastier and still stays a healthy vegetable. Windows on the other hand tastes good at the beginning and then turns into a rotten pile of crap which is both bad for your computer and has a bunch of diseases (viruses).

Linux is awesome. The only reason I can think of that you could say windows is better is because it has more support from companies. It was the first gui centered OS to spread and grew rapidly because of it. Because it's so big, companies support it.
It's not that linux doesn't support your hardware, because windows doesn't either. It's that your hardware manufacturer doesn't support linux.
For everyday normal use, internet, word processing, video/audio editing/recording/viewing/listening, linux does NOT fall short of windows.
Any office software for windows, there is an equivalent, or greater for linux. just 1 example. microsoft office vs open office. even on a windows machine, i'll get open office
Many linux distros have a gui installer for software (package manager, etc), which by the way, has a list of programs that you can install at the click of a button, you don't even have to surf the web to try and find programs, they are listed for you. If you need to install something from a website instead of just a list of programs, they usually have the command-line command... it's a matter of copy + paste. If linux had more support, then that might even get easier.
In terms of games, ya... those companies don't create linux friendly versions. So it's hard and takes some tweaking to get those windows games to work on linux. If game developers started supporting linux (and some are just starting to dabble in it) then windows would have nothing on linux.
I don't care who you are, right now at this point in time, you have to admit that linux has better Operating Systems. But Linux does have support from more companies. If everyone wasn't such pansies, and we could get those companies to support linux, no one would really have a reason to stick with windows.

The only reason Linux is 'better' than Windows is because its free.
As for the virus part. Many people who make viruses tend to want to infect as many people as possible. Windows has more users then Linux. End of debate.
BTW, I just wanted to say this. Just because a company is big doesn't make it evil/bad. It is mainly paranoia on your part. How ever there are companies that do go bad, but Microsoft has yet to join their ranks.

Linux Rocks all the way in South Africa too... Windoze sucks steaming mounds of dog piles. As an ex-corporate wannabe exec... I've had MS and their licencing issues for sub-standard software up the wazoo. MS sucks. Plain and Simple. I now run my own business, employ 50 people, have NO MS issues and am completely happy. I am saving 120K + (zar) a year that now goes into my pocket as profits. F#@K william and his crappy BLOATWARE. Sure it looks nice but so what. It's dofg slow, bloated, hack city crap. Now... I don't care what Linux the guys use. Most are on Ubuntu (nice and easy - click, click, click - just like MS), Some more tech on Slackware, some on RH, I'm on Debian and so are my servers - just because they're analy retentive about the update and upgrade path. Try getting a package into Debian sometime. ;-) Running my deb server (only on STABLE release versions - sid and lenny) for 4 years in the wild - NO VIRUS, NO successful DdOS, NO HACKFESTS, NO ROOTKITS, NO PROBLEM. I probably employ the laziest sysadmin in the world. LINUX kicks ass!!! And eats MSBloatware for breakfast. To all you utter NOOBS still on MICR-CRAP get a real OS.
