It's estimated that 90% of the computers in the world are running one form of windows or another. There's nothing "fair" about it .

Bottom line is, until linux or someone else comes up with a system that's as user friendly as windows and idiot safe as windows, windows will continue to dominate.

The trouble with linux is many of the developers are still enjoying the "linux is a technogeek's OS" mentality. There are many that are coming around though and are, like you said, starting to eye the evil giant and are becoming more willing to topple it.

After all, as you said Windows IS rooted in unix. Even today I see many things that have already been implimented in unix/linux that are just starting to come out in Windows. I.E. it appears very strongly that windows is sponging and selling .

Oh well. such is life.
