![]() Until Linux can achieve the same level of ubiquity, it won’t be anywhere beyond some niche scenario’s. They’re buying into the ability to purchase software off the shelf, hardware off the shelf. Linux right now, in its current form is more than sufficient to take over the operating system market – but it isn’t the operating system the consumers buy, they’re buying into a whole ecosystem. There isn’t an aversion to change, its the Linux distributors not creating a package which customers want, its the distributors doing nothing to improve the ecosystem when it comes to third party commercial software titles from the big names, and out of the box support for hardware with drives ready on the cd/dvd for the customer to install. ![]() If there was an aversion to it, then how does one explain double digit growth of Apple Mac desktop and laptop shipments? Pardon, that might be true if the scenario in the marketplace wasn’t different. There is one user of a program that I maintain that notices and complains about every adjustment to the UI, even if its for the better.
