However, I'm not
so sure it's as trouble free when you want to use a single
machine to do a
multitude of widely varying things.
I find that very funny. I'm not going to argue with it right

it at least, run CorelDRAW? How about the Xilinx Foundation

software, or

Because they use windows instead -- the majority of them. If
they were used to using linux, and if linux had all of the
marketing momentum that windows had, they'd use it instead,
or if the Grundey corporation had given GrundeyOS the proper
marketing at the right time, they'd use that.
People use what you hand them. I'm not convinced that
popularity can be any indicator of quality. You only need
look at the high-quality products in any given market segment
to see that.
