When one company has a totally dominant position, it creates barriers to entry for other players. In this case, since Windows is the dominant player, many vendors create drivers, software, and websites that are only compatible with or tested against Windows. For example, look at network attached DVRs. Many of them are based on Linux, but you can not use Linux to view them as they require a Windows only plugin to decrypt the stream. Think of this as an upstream bug that we can not fix directly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
