Re: More on id and Linux

People obviously use Windows for a variety of reasons, the applications being the driving force and the user interface close behind. I'm sure there are as many home users who could get by using Open Office as there are business users who need functions specific to Microsoft Office. Could and would don't really matter though, most people are very unwilling to change and even the slightest changes can upset the comfort level of users. It's a large part of the reason Vista failed - it changed just enough to disrupt that comfort level while not providing enough new functionality that users desired to keep people happy. That's also where Windows 7 succeeds ironically. Thank you for agreeing with me My point was never, ever, that Linux is what everyone needs and we should all switch to it. It was just that for a lot of people, it does do everything they need, if they cared to try it. That was it. The designer of the ribbon should be fired... God I hated helping people learn to use the same program all over again.
