Isn't it strange that people use linux on a lot of phones with no problem at all (and actually often without even knowing they're running linux)? Maybe the biggest problem were crappy distros chosen by netbook manufacturers, a good distro with better preinstalled SW for the most common needs could have satisfied users more.

Linux is everywhere; even in TVs. People should be exposed to Ubuntu, which is as consumer-friendly as Windows but imo a better operating system

It is better for specialized aplications or for enterprise enviroment but for normal desktop user it's still years away from being competitive.

Really the initial savings on OS are quickly consumed by time needed to make it running or relearning interface.

And I can safely say 99% of free programs on linux have free equvalent on Windows.
