Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft's OS market share lowest in 15 years!

If Microsoft's Marketshare does decrease ( which i'm unsure about whether it will or not) it will certainly decrease with alot of momentum , not a gradual marketshare over a 15 year period . It'll take something pretty significant from the competition or a serious error on MS's part to displace them from their throne.

Hey who called Red Hat the closest Linux has ever come to being user friendly?

Does Ubuntu not exist alluva sudden?



Dell has 6 consumer models available with the latest Ubuntu Linux preinstalled:

HP has enterprise models available with Linux, but not consumer:

Lenovo has quietly stopped offering Linux, which it used to offer with SUSE Enterprise 10, but they say more is coming.

Neither of those are very user friendly. I would try either Xandros or openSUSE. openSUSE has the easiest system management of any Linux distro by far. Xandros is designed to be very user friendly.

Man, I know absolutely nothing about how to run Linux and Ubuntu was smooth like a dream for me in 7.04. It was actually a pretty nice Windows replacement!

Each person has their own experiences. I actually had to stop installing Ubuntu on people's PCs because I was getting so many complaints. Not everyone was having problems. However, I switched to using openSUSE 10.3 and then to 11.0 and I have almost no more complaints. I forgot to install all of the codecs for someone once, and Adobe Acrobat on another.

 



Really? Do tell me more about this openSUSE, since my primay interest in Linux is as a Windows replacement.
