In my opinion, there is no doubt that linux is a BETER os than windows, if a user spends enough time understanding it, in linux you can do virtualy anything. In my modest opinion, the key to make sure the avarage user changes to linux is to make sure they can run the SAME aplications in linux (not a better/worst version) and i belive WINEHQ is the answer. It is not perfect, it still has a lot to go but if linux can perfectly (or close enough) emulate windows, and be able to add every program ever made to windows to gnu-linux, with the kernel as it is and the stability linux is offering, i have no doubt the consumer will change. I think this is also the answer to the problem of licences described above.. is companies can use the same program in gnu-linux they used in micro$oft window$, there is no need for them to re-lincence it and it becomes a simple economic reason to change: THEY SAVE MONEY. If they change, their workers will follow, i am sure... Sérgio Gaspar Lisbon-Portugal :) |
