Is my memory faulty? I seem to recall that MS took over the corporate sector by way of the home user. People became comfortable with PCs at home and corporations adopted PCs as a way to take advantage of users existing computer skills. PCs replaced X-Terms because home users were already comfortable with them. Apple tried the reverse strategy. Teach people to use an Apple as a student and they'll take it to home and work with them. Of course, the economics of Linux vs. Windows is different thatn Windows vs. Apple, which may make the results different too. Dave Alitz Matt Murphy wrote: >*at home*, in which case, I agree. On the corporate desktop you have IT professionals making sure that the few applications that are needed for the business are working, and possibly even making sure nothing else does. Linux is still lagging in terms of depth of applications and devices that support it, and will continue to until it's taken over the corporate sector, as windows did many years ago. > >Matt > > > >>Yeah, the company that in most peoples eyes IS linux (because they >> >> >don't know any better) is telling them that they should use Windows >instead. > > >_______________________________________________ >TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org >https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > > _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
