Comment Microsoft's plan might work. (Score 1) 553
Hey,
Sadly, I'm not afraid to admit that Microsoft's plan could work against Linux. Think about it, most of the world's computer users consists of average, net-surfing people. They probably use Windows, or Mac OS also.
See, if they ever hear about Linux, and start liking it, they might want to test it out, but the ploy Microsoft will begin using will drag them back to their familiar user-friendly enviorment. And maybe, because of those other supposed 'better' benchmarks, and other anti-Linux propaganda, Linuxites might revert to the Windows OS.
Another point to add, I don't think Linux will be widely used by the general public, it's mostly used my computer gurus, for networking, or programming. Linux is just not ready to fully compete against Microsft.
But, what the hell, maybe we'll win, eh? Even if we don't I'll still be using Linux.
