There’s still a long way to go for them to become America’s operating system of choice. That's fine with me. I'm not a big believer that the OS I use must be used by everyone else (or even the majority).
Use what works for you. If you are having a difficult time adjusting and adapting to Linux, don't use it.
But I'll never give a dime to lefty pro-abortion liberals like Gates and Microsoft.
I agree that "other" options are fine. But regardless of what one thinks of Bill Gates, at least his current operating system (which is a build on XP) is fine for the great unwashed, and those are the people I know and interact with. If one of them should come to me and ask about Linux I'd say "Don't bother, life's too short for someone with your level of computer knowledge to even consider it". Nor do I just mean absolute Newbies...
Sorry, but that's true.
