Fixed it, since Linux does come pre-installed from several vendors.
(I’ve tried it- the answer was “Huhhhhh...?”)
And here you are, moving the goalposts again. Which is it--preinstalled at Best Buy, or you asking which version she wants?
Unlike Linux, where you would have to explain what...
Again, the question is Why would you do that? You already said she's your Gramma. You make that choice, and you install it, and you show her which icons does her email and which one surfs the interwebs.
My point (and only point) is that Linux got beaten by Windows because of such technical choices, choices that MOST consumers don’t care about.
Actually, that is incorrect. Windows won the desktop because they threatened PC makers with higher prices if they did not pre-install Windows on their PCs. Nothing technical about it--it was all business.
And you always prove my point by missing that, every time.
I don't miss it. I just don't agree with it.
I also make it a point to try (and TRY) to tell you that I WORK IN BOTH SYSTEMS, for over 30 years, doing low level embedded Linux, and that I know Linux is superior for many reasons- EXCEPT COMMERICAL VIABILITY.
Yes, I know. Which is why I don't understand why you would have some sterotypical "gramma" make choices that are clearly above her head--no matter what the OS is.
I give up...
Yes, Linux is great and everyone should use it.
