Linux is just not ready for prime time. By prime time I mean on the homes of the American public. Regular home consumers don't want to have to learn a new language to use e-mail or play games. They want to be able to update a security hole without having to compile something. Linux needs an interface like OS X and a software library to back it for"normal" people to be interested.
->cut In America... In America many things are big. Even mistakes. There is a lot of user friendly linux distributions that can be used by unexperienced users. Mac Os is usually used in profesional DTP, and by some artists. Peoples in Apple know what that users want. And that is why apple computers are for "elite". ->cut
Business on the other hand is moving slowly to Linux. Why slowly? Who do you sue when your business is hacked by someone who planted a backdoor in the Linux kernel? Won't happen you say? Let's see, almost happened once already . . .
->cut Linux is best solution when u had small budget. Just the cost of windows licences can be too big. And at last linux can work on older machines. Business is moving slowly... Yes, imagine that big enterprices had a lot of computers with windows. Usual worker know how to use it. Cost of change os in company can be very big. In many new companies they use linux. ->cut
Microsoft threw an incomplete, insecure computer solution at an eager market for a low price, so home users and businesses lapped it up.
->cut Low price? Where? have a nice blue screen. Piotr "hawat" Kostrzewa _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
