Also because it is exceptionally simple to use. It is designed for the
end user. Linux may well be a "superior" OS in some respects, but one of
them is not its ease of adding new applications, nor its network
interoperability with Windows based systems on the same network. I will
admit that Linux has become a lot more hardware friendly. The first few
times I tried it, you had to pretty much have the hardware it was
written for, or needed to know how to write your own drivers. The GUI
has also become better over time, but for most who are not computer
geeks (and some of us that are), it's still not all that friendly to the
end user.

I find it way easier to use than Windows, but then again I have
congenital brain damage.

If there are compatibility issues, it's almost always on the Windows end.
The web is Unix based.

Windows has nothing to compare with "synaptic" based installers.

For personal use the only thing Windows excels [pun] at is games that
require DirectX. For some business you need the Photoshop type apps
(because the prima-donnas refuse to adapt or try new things).

For overall ease I'd have to go with an Ubuntu 2010. To run any machine
ever built, I'd use Puppy 420. If you like waiting on hold for secret
codes, buy Windows.

Poor dave has problems tying his shoes, even lighting up his bong ... I
am sure he has difficulty with most other things in life ... the rest of
wonder why he is having all the problems ... I mean, all the moron would
have to do is stop smoking killer dope ... but hey, it is good humbling
experience ... experiencing pity for the less fortunate ...
