Because to the extent that Macs and OS X are even on the radar screens of most of the computer using public (i.e., very little), Linux is nowhere to be seen. If people are hesitant to "switch" to Macs, then Linux isn't even an option because no one has heard of it outside of the server room.

Alan Baker Not by any information the movie watching public is aware of. Now you're back to lying again. The "proof" you first...

Until some big name gets behind Linux and actually standardizes it and advertises it and gets major desktop software support, it's not going to go anywhere on the desktop.

It's kinda like how Personal Computers were in the early days. You had Apple 2s, Apple 3s, TRS-80 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s, Commodores, and a whole slew of CP-M vendors battling each other with incompatible disk formats, CPU architectures, etc. Then along came IBM, who created The Standard that everyone has been using since.

It will take something along those lines for Linux to be taken seriously.
