  1. Comment - Linux Growth Hits Windows Roadblock

    (Apr 5, 2005 - 1:11 AM)

    Linux has a place, but currently that place is not on the desktop market.
    Security : overly rigorous... sacrifices user friendliness for server level security - it is unneccesary for everyday use.
    useability : installation asside (we can all agree this can be very painfull) the actual ability for a new user to use a linux system is limited without at least a reasonable amount of techincal knowledge - most users want to USE the operating system...NOT tweak/mod it. Most users do not want to have to do a day course on "adding and removing lniux packages".
    Linux is great for techinically minded people that want to tweak and modify to OS to their own specifications but the vast majority of users DO NOT have this desire.
