No that isn’t a true statement. The best doesn’t always win. Microsoft Windows was not better than OS/2 from IBM. Far from it. M$ had better marketing (amongst other things).
“Microsoft Windows was not better than OS/2 from IBM”
Microsoft is far far better than IBM. IBM never imagined there would be a PC on everyones desk.
Microsoft made a product which was easy to use and they made it easy to buy. Linux has developed over the years, but is difficult to use for the average person. We keep hearing about new desktop versions but they aren’t ready and probably never will be. There is not adequate financial incentive for companies to develop that product.
