if i had a dollar for the amount of times that i have heard "linux is going to steal window users" i would be rich by now

while linux might get a few ppl that are interested , it wont take a huge chunk out of the market , windows is used at most work places , so when ppl get home its what they are used to using , the portability of it

no one really buys windows anywhere , (well atleast all the ppl that i deal with) they all have pirated copies that they have gotten off ppl that brought a brand name pc

bigger companies mostly have inhouse techies to do all the work , very rarely will they outsource to 3rd parties

while linux might be free , at the end of the day to convert business over to linux costs a shitload , teaching ppl new stuff , the work downtime while ppl are off at training seminars
