Story: Windows' dominance stifles demand for Linux

Hit Nail on Head

I agree with pround.

It is completely the Drivers & applications Though Linux has most apps Windows has but in some form or other the one thing its lacking is mainstream PC Games which is due to lack of decent drivers.

Its also a catch 22 as the hardware vendors will not produce drivers for linux without a demand & software to take advantage of the drivers.

so until some brave hardware vendors & some apps cross the boundry into the linux realm then windows will always have dominance...

My laptop runs linux & i can do everything i can on my desktop machine that is running windows except on windows i can play PC Games, which i cant on my laptop.

Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
