Re: [Staffslug] Linux Take-Up
There is also the issue of software support. Unfortunately, there's a slew
of Windows-only software that people rely on that hasn't got a chance of
running in Wine.

I was thinking the other day (and this morning as I sat in the
dentist
office), what do you think is stopping people moving to Linux (or any
other distro that is not M$ based)?
There were a few ideas that jumped around in mind head, and I was
wondering what everyone else thought?
My ideas were:
- Fear of the unknown
- Lived with M$ for all of their computer lives (leading back to above)
- Learning curve? (I know that with newer/certain distros, it's getting
very graphical, but there isn't any c:\ !)
- Hardware issues
What do you think?
