So many times people ask me about problems on their windows machines. Friend: "why do i get all these windows popping up when i click on www.rob-me-blind-and-spy-on-me.com, and how come amazon knows i like football, chocolate and hard porn?" Nick:"Which browser are you using?" F:"Whats that?" N:"Well what program are you using to look at the internet?" F:"The one that comes up when i click a link in this email about getting more hair and a bigger p****" N:"Ok what email client are you using?" F:"What's that?" and so it goes on. you are right, they use what is there. > > It is the more accomplished user, maybe someone in business, more > security conscious who investigates alternatives/improvements who will > find out about Linux. people in business use what their consultant gives them. their consultant probably has an msce. their consultant earns money from cleaning viruses off the computer, and if its bad enough selling them another one. > >> > > > > > >
