Think about it.
think about Linux
If you like to be a geek :-)
No need to be a geek despite my geeky instructions to lxuser in
m.s.firefox.
I can give you the GUI instructions if interested.
More like need to not be using any real world applications and be less
productive with the simpler Linux equivalent of the others.
90% of the applications I need to use every day for work have no Linux
equivalent. For home use I could pretty much move to Linux but not even
close for work. I would still have to run some sort of PC OS.
Linux just does not have industry recognized business applications,
electrical engineering applications, CAD apps, PCB layout apps or
targeted embedded processor apps. All of which I use daily. Same issue
with Mac.
If your statements are in fact true, you are in a very small minority of
the work force. I wish people would stop spreading FUD about linux.
I would wager that 90% of the workforce could be transitioned to linux
with no major problems.

To make that statement you clearly have no idea what programs the
business, sales and engineering community uses. There really are no
substitutes for most of it. Even programs like Open Office can't do a
huge percentage of the things that people who use Office every day need
to do - Especially when it comes to constant formatting of Word and
Larger issues with Excel.
Almost no large scale Sales or MRP/ERP programs exist in Linux.
Certainly no main stream accepted ones. Almost no CAD or Engineering
programs (outside of software) exist for Linux. No main stream
multimedia or graphic programs exist (GIMP is a toy). The software that
designs all those Linux boxes (PCB Layout - embedded programing tools,
Industrial design tools etc) - exists on PC only.
I have worked with many a die hard Linux (and Mac) head they all either
move to PC or run Windows in a VC once the reality of the working world
hits them.
The business world lives on Oracle, ACT, Quick-books, Office, PhotoShop,
Outlook, and a whole host of industry specialized applications (such as
ACAD, Pro-E, Solid Works, PADS) for each industry, all of which have no
Linux recognized equivalent and even if it did it would have to
seemlessly interface with those apps since the rest of the world uses
them. Even the fact that I try to use Seamonkey rather than Outlook is a
major stumbling block to me interfacing with the rest of the world in a
business sense since I get lots of e-mail incompatibility issues.
