Best kept secrets...
Ohhhhh a fractal generator, exactly what I need. NOT!
The Linux world may be "way cool" as you put it, but when it comes down to business, it just can't compete with windows for the sheer amount of applications available that are tried and tested and service packed so they work reliably and as expected. I don't need to support, train and then support some more users who are trying Linux systems instead of "familiar" windows environments.
Group policy works with Linux? No??? Oh I see....
All these free music and video apps would kill my (limited) bandwidth, so no, thanks anyway.
"But, the objective truth is that you'll enjoy your computing experiences far more using the UNIX spinoffs, like Linux and OS 10." Guaranteed 'ey? You won't get frustrated with trying to figure out how to do something that you've done everyday and now don't know where it is? Not even once? Objective truth is right...but whose truth is it? Yours! Not very objective now is it?
For those that have the time and the inclination and wish to learn another "language", then go for it, but for those that need to do business, Linux/Unix just can't cut it yet.
