I'd love to see how many campaign contributions MS made to representatives pushing laws standardizing on Word or other bullshit MS only tech in state institutions and even worse, in schools.
I keep hearing it will be the Year Of The Linux Desktop and it keeps never happening. That's why. No need for any wacky conspiracy theories, for the average user who just wants their computer to be a tool to get work done, the choices are Windows or Mac, and for large organisations who want to centrally manage machines, the choice is... Windows.
- nsxwolf 9y agoI haven't heard anyone say "year of linux on the desktop" for years now. Do people really still say this?

My sample size is ~20 family members. Those with Chromebooks love them and those with Windows 8/10 despise them. From a support perspective, it's considerably less for Chromebooks vs multiple issues with malware on the Windows devices. Caveat emptor, YMMV etc.
