Comment Reason Linux can't currently beatjust kind Windows (Score 1) 1070
I hate to be captain obvious, but Linux lacks money. Let's be honest here. It takes money to buy marketing. Microsoft makes their money off of a simple, yet time tested, concept of spending money to make money. They have the money to spend because they charge for the product. Then they spent money on different marketing plans and start to build recognition. That recognition in turn made them more money because consumers like to buy what they see a lot. It just kinda snowballs from there. I'm sure it was much more complicated and what not, but fact remains that every company trying to put a product out there gets an immediate product interest off of saying they run on Windows. Linux is a great product. But it is not standardized, marketed, or optically inspiring to the extend of Windows. I personally feel good about having an Operating System I can use that pretty much I am the ony one who knows how to use it of all the people around me. I like to tell people that nothing on the internet is truely free. Except Linux.
