I agree with this- how many websites with DirectX have you ever seen? How do you think Active Directory is doing? Linux's big advantage is that its ---really, really cheap!---- You get an immense amount of ---free stuff--- in the distro, and if you're able to use interfaces that arent real stndard and occasionally need a text editor, you can have stuff that would cost $thousands from Microsoft for $30. And you can legally install that $30 disk on howevermany machines you want to.
As long as Linux has such a huge price advantage it will be more popular for people who can deal with it.
OTOH, if you just want to buy a "computer", plug it in and "surf the web" or "do email", then Microsoft is fine for you. As usual, the low-skill-end of the market is MUCH huger than the high-skill end, and Microsoft is undoubtedly easier to use.

I voted for my government- they don't steal from me. If you don't like yours, throw the rascals out. Anyway, there has been a lot of government-funded progress against horrible diseases- for example, AIDS, smallpox, polio, tuberculosis, and cancer.
It is interesting that other high school student subcultures are not singled out, even though they may be more dangerous. I think the biggest cause of death for high-schoolers is plain old drunk driving, but the jock-cheerleader culture with its traditional keggers seems to be encouraged as promoting "school spirit". Not to mention teen pregnancy, also a traditional part of jock culture. Or "wannbe gangsta rappers" and their problems. Maybe they should start encouraging geekiness! At least we're home and sober- and nobody ever got pregnant from Net-smut...

and just how long will the Mars colony live without any of the planned supply ships?
