Anonymous from Munich (where else?) : "Back in 1998, GNU/Linux did not even have a decent web browser. Today, it has better browsers than IE, excellent media players.."
Yeah?
Back in 1995 Microsoft had NO browser at all. Today Microsoft has over 96% of the browser market worldwide! How about that?
IE continues to be by far the best browser on the market (that is why practicaly every corporation and every consumer on the planet uses it), far surpasing anything Linux has ever come up with (another reason why consumers by their billions have rejected Linux en masse).
As for Media players, Windows Media Player is today by far the best media player n the planet, and guess what? IT DOESN"T RUN ON LINUX! LOL!
Plus the media content companes ike Time Warner and Disney are increasingly going exclusively for Windws Media Player for their content ...and content is KING.
You want to watch Kobe Bryant in his latest slam dunk on ESPN (owned by Disney)? Well you need Windows Mdia Player for it pal, and guess what? Your crapy Linux cannot and will never be ale to play Windows Media Player. So long sucker!
Linux take out Microsoft on the destop? Not a chance!
