Most people buy computers to run programs – whether to send e-mails, surf the Internet with friends on MSN Messenger to make friends, to do office work or just play solitaire. People buy computers to use programs that run on operating systems whose functionality is not Microsoft Windows, Microsoft’s new Vista product, which will be operations or Mac operating systems Linux – whether Ubuntu Linux Mandivee, Knoppix and Debian. The goal of most users, functionality and usability. It’s that simple. It’s an interesting situation that the Microsoft Corporation, the vast majority control of the computer operating system market. Yes, he even held a large share of the next player in line – with the Apple Macintosh operating system (OS). What are the problems? 1) Linux is not really free. Linux in its various flavors or distributions is free because he was on a CD, DVD or downloaded. You can install the program on your own computer or different to calculate, at no cost to themselves at all This is in direct contrast to a commercial product such as Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft news that you purchased a boxed version or a valid license that comes with most computer systems for sale. This license, which comes on most new computers as a matter of course could be called the “Microsoft tax” Computer and is not an option, you can save for the purchase of the new reduced fee – if you use or not a separate application operating system like Linux. Linux can be freely given. This is not shareware or time limited version of the product that requires a fee after a certain time. Where they support or training to commercial organizations that charge for the support of that product or training, or both. In fact, we can say that Microsoft’s product support, Symantec AntiVirus / load security organization for the support base by product, cost of subscription fees – sometimes automatic subscription fees and 900 telephone number and payment “priority assistance be. In fact, you would not think that your school or university for computer training and software for free. 2) Linux is complex and will force you to learn the Linux command line Is not that easy. The various Linux distributions, all the GUI (Graphic User Interface), such as using Microsoft Windows, Windows for the DOS command line. Windows users can use the scrolling window to run the software. Thus, most Linux users is heavy 3) Compared to Windows, Linux – The vast majority of computer users are computer novices and beginners. This computer users to purchase the computer operating system Microsoft Windows or the Macintosh operating system on their new computers installed. These people could not install the Windows operating system and device drivers needed if their lives depended on it. As the situation in a Linux-based computers is different. It’s just a matter of time until the new computers come preinstalled with the Linux operating system. Imagine Henry Ford had said not to build new cars, because there were few good roads in North America. 4) Material Just My computer runs Windows 5) In addition, in many cases, false and even less of a problem that computers are increasingly pre-installed with Linux operating system. Already a Dell computer (which was a brave Microsoft) sells Linux-based laptops. Interestingly, the answer to the Dell Ubuntu Linux is very positive if you think Linux is a hardware compatibility problem, try the new Microsoft Vista upgrade your Microsoft Windows before. They are supported surprised that few, if find something hardware. You may be upgraded to the new Vista and found that it is not sound, video, or even good Internet connections via your device or network card wireless network adapter. And try to update your destiny, to return to work for your version of Windows – it can not be done. Finally, one might say, since I all Windows programs I use are only available on Windows operation system – for that is the dominant player on the market. You can also suspect that since Windows is the dominant firm in the computer market OS software developers to post their products almost exclusively for the Windows operating system and the market. This is true. If you have a special product for your job, industry, location or liking, you can also be locked in. Ultimately, most people buy and use computers for functionality and use. Most people use their computer for surfing, communication – whether by e-mail or messaging (MSN, Yahoo, Skype, Eyeball Chat), downloading and burning music and more in many cases as not to play more computer games like Solitaire. In these cases, the functionality of Linux and its application base allows easy therefor. For most cutting programs and services come from left field of software developers and enthusiasts, the preferred operating system is to guess – Linux in its various forms.
