I've had grand mothers and high school kids using Linux for over 5 years
ago. It's the OEMs who are limiting its growth just as it was the OEMs who
limited OS/2's growth. ie, pre-installations are the controlling factor because
people take what is handed to them more often than not.
I don't agree.
A lot of people will blow a system away and install a pirated version of
Windows rather than use Linux. The pull is that strong.
