Hello Mods!
When somthing is posted agian and again you should use the "Redundant" tag to mark it.
"Offtopic" or "Flamebait" or "Troll" are not the tags to use.
This post though you can pick any of the 3 but if someone else mentions it use "Redundant"!!!
Windows is easier to use for alot of reasons.
Monopoly is good for the end user in some cases.
-MS's market share mean you can buy a window PC and do anything you want.(including getting the hell kicked out of your box b/c of virus/spyware/malware ect i said some not all cases)
-Marketshare means in a company still has to have IT guys but some of thier workload gets distributed to knowledgeble but not technical members of the staff.
Spending money is easier than learning. always has been always will be. Most computer users are Joe Internet and Windows does that admirably. any one can go grab a Windows box, but it's alot harder to just buy a Linux box.
Accessories- I can buy any webcam,digital camera, printer,gadget, or thingmagig, five minutes after I get home it works, 95% of the time as soon as I plug it in.
I know y'all will probably mod me down. If linux was as much better than windows as you hoped it would be more than a tiny toehold of the market.
Even so, it seems to me that the main difference between the unix forking example and the Linux kernel is that the Linux kernel is open, and thanks to the gpl will remain open. Fork it all you want, but I still get the source code.

Free will is just an illusion
could that be more ironic?

Ok, maybe it's only me but wouldn't someone who couldn't figure out the 2nd button on a mouse probably have to ask for help to change drives identity?
