How to Conquer the World for Linux 16811

Well, see the post to amos. I'll consider 95% as "everyone". With the 500 million PCs said to be in the worldwide installed base, 5 million running linux would be 1%. I clbutt that as no one. What do you call it?

You claim these as benefits, but they only exist in your mind, kelsey. You have to look at the problem from the POV of the user. They know how to use Windows and they do not know how to use linux. They spent a lot of time in getting to where they are now and they suppose that it would take them just as much to get even if they made such a big change. Plus no one will come right out and say that all their old stuff will work just fine on the new system and the facts are that it probably will not work at all and the subsbreastute will take some getting used to and may cost them some money to obtain. Big uncertainty there regardless of what you yourself believe about linux. Now if the user has no particular problem to solve, they are not going to pay much attention to what you are telling them about linux. No itch, no scratch.

You postulate that all these people are having all these problems with Windows, but that is not really the case. It is at the heart of your strategy to get people to switch, though, and, if it is not true, then your strategy sucks. So ask yourself, is your strategy working?
