[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 922839, member: 88422"] Few people realize how vast Microsoft's divisions are. And their development philosophy is to fix it as they go. Of course everybody out in userland wants everything fixed yesterday, but having a mob of users leading you around by the nose isn't a viable way to develop. In short, there is a huge amount of ignorance and unrealistic expectations when it comes to users. This is true about the fragmentation, lack of focus and 3rd party apps. However, for the vast majority of ordinary home users that use their PC for just web surfing and an occasional text document, Linux has been more than sufficient for a long time. Chromebooks even more so. Except for those that just must use Microsoft Office and\or are gamers, everybody else would be fine on Linux or Chromebook. The demographics show that Millennials (born 1980 and after) and Gen Z (born after 1998) are proficient with tech. However, in the vast majority of cases they prefer smart phones over PCs. Even when required for work or school, having a Windows PC and installing 3rd party security software onto can be a losing strategy - as so many users can attest. Universities are aware of this fact, to the extent that engineering and science students use Linux more and more than they do Windows. The only reason for the Windows is the fact Microsoft and Adobe hold the world hostage because most in userland aren't willing to make a transition away from either. [/QUOTE]
