The lack of Linux uptake means it's provably true since an OS that was suitable for use by the majority would have killed Windows by now. Even when it came pre-installed on netbooks a few years ago people would return them because they wanted an OS they could run their software on.
Whose fault it is is irrelevant. People want their computers to work and if they don't they're not going to use that software. People have been saying this for as long as I can remember but there's been no attempt to deal with it.
Yes yes it's always the fault of the user. Linux could've destroyed Windows 15 years ago had people come together and addressed the flaws but there were too many holy wars and dickish attitudes like yours. I stopped using it a few years ago because I've got better things to do with my time than spend ages trying 10 different things to get my wireless card to work.
The reason why I asked is because I've got a Windows Server 2012 R2 box under my desk for my test VMs and it's running on bare metal. I wondered if this was some architectural thing I wasn't aware of.
That ignores all the bespoke software where the latest version is required, not to mention new features that people need or changed file formats on off the shelf stuff. That's not going to fly with too many organisations. It might be with a try running Win 7 with Bochs on Android but something tells me that isn't good enough yet, especially for people wanting more than one screen.
The majority of corporate desktops are Windows with many Win32 legacy apps. There is no way to run any of these on Android or iOS. An Atom phone running full Windows would be the ideal choice for this but no one seems to be interested in making one.
Nuclear is far more immediately damaging than fossil fuels and the problems tend to be more notice and more damaging. I'm sure the people of Chernobyl would rather they'd lived next to an oil refinery or a coal mine. Their children wouldn't still be being born with deformities 30 years after an explosion in one of those. Nuclear waste has to be buried in concrete bunkers. Does oil or coal residue? How dangerous is solar or wind in comparison?
Because Communism!!! People voting in their own interest instead of Wall Street's will put Stalin in the White House. Poor people are poor because they're lazy. It's not like bad things ever happen to anyone making it harder to earn a living
Not judging by the rest of his post. I can't believe that anyone would support a system that deprives life saving operations from people just because they're poor.

Get back to me when the President of the United States launches a drive to get more men into nursing and teaching.
I'm not trolling. I'm just so very tired of the bad attitude when someone points out why Linux isn't ready for the desktop.
"Would have" not "would of" you fucking mouth breather.
Should've known it was my fault rather than Holy GNU/Linux. I'll go and put on my hair shirt and say 10 Hail Stallmans.
The answer then is fuck Linux and its community full of wankers, I'll use Windows where my hardware works. No wonder Linux is nowhere on the desktop.
Expecting hardware to work. That's crazy talk.

Windows Server doesn't run on bare metal? Are you sure about that?

You can't tell a person's health just by looking shitlord! They've clearly gone into starvation mode.
It's perfectly safe and anyone who disagrees is a tree-hugging enviro whack-job!
LMAO that's a good one.
You should also report to your nearest campus shitlord
Being an old white male means your life must be perfect. Please report to your nearest university campus for reeducation.

How is that different from now?
Where are you getting that from? JSA is 73.10 a week which is nowhere near 640 a month.
Look at that failed state China for an example.
