Unisys: We No Longer Have A Way Out

rbochan writes "Some of you may recall a couple of years back when Microsoft and Unisys decided that a multi-million dollar ad campaign against *nix was in order, dubbed 'We Have A Way Out.' The results weren't what they'd hoped. ZDNet is now reporting that Unisys has done an about face and is now touting Linux as 'a mature technology and the right cost-effective option for many companies.'"

The Linux movement wil never be complete until the normal(how do I browse the web?, J/K, but you get it) people can use it without EVER needing the command line, the average user is uncomfortable and afraid of it, and everyone has grown up(well, most) using M$'s GUI control panel that makes everything 'so easy', hell most people even think of this when they think of Linux.

They think that Linux is STILL command line only, hell I just impressed the librarian at my school by booting up a LiveCD, asking her what OS she thought it was, and as soon as she said "Windows" I about burst a gut. Until sterotypes are removed, and Linux can be run by a novice it will not become mainstream.
