Hi people, I hope I'm not stepping on open wounds here, but I want to raise this discussion. My father has a computer with Windows 98, and he asked me to check it for technical problems. I told him that Windows 98 is old and obsolete, so he should either upgrade to Windows XP or start using Linux. My father instantly replied that he wants to have Windows. Also at the office of his company, there are about 12 computers - all of them using some version of Windows. I wonder how come most people & companies prefer Windows - is it because they're already used to it, or because they're afraid of changing, or because they want to use a specific software which is not available on Linux, or because they want to be like everyone else? Because most people I know, if they're not computer geeks - use Windows. And most companies too. People even got used to send documents in Microsoft Office format - even in business related documents, legal documents etc. Windows & Microsoft Office have become a de-facto standard.
