    Why would someone use an OS that is proprietary and expensive when there is a free OS that is open source and costs nothing? Convenience.

    That can't be it, because Windows is not particularly convenient.

    Maybe for you. Everyone I know who has a job that requires the use of a computer finds Windows quite convenient. If they had a lot of free time to play around, maybe they'd figure out how to use alternatives. Until then, Windows is convenient.

    When you talk of "a few hundred million people who do find it convenient", are you parroting Microsoft marketing materials, or are you merely talking about your own misperceptions? How much Microsoft stock do you own that you are so motivated to misrepresent the facts?

    I'm surprised Linus lets you talk with your mouth full.
