ask linux ppl to start pirating linux if u feel either is successful 'coz of piracy...
y not follow t leader if u'r product is better nd cheaper...

i feel linux never had it's bill gates...nd moreover MS has fucked netscape/ibm/dell/apple nd linux community is still unorganized who hav yet to find a face for representating themselves...

puppet: i never wanted to leave windows, its been with me since my start days.
at the end, it dint leave me a choice..


ansh:
Bill Gates makes sure Windows is popular n widely used, but that does not ensure its quality.

1.Linux is open source. So piracy is not a problem.
2. Fact: linux is difficult to use, compared to windows. Ex. try installing nvidia GeForce 6800M GS on an ubuntu/kubuntu . In windows its just one click.
3. Another FACT: VISTA sucks big time.
4. Another Fact: Linux rocks.

windows has a robust marketing strategy compared to Linux..

Only techies know about Linux, the common man has heard of Windows than Linux.. and wud rather pay for a pirated version of Windows than get a free version of Linux..
Word of Mouth is the purest form of marketing.. but also the slowest..
and Linux is more of word of mouth publicity .. but Windows is everywhere...


Bill Gates is to Windows/MS
__________ is to Linux..
linux needs a face...
