Are you serious or being irony? Your last paragraph makes senses if you replace Linux to OS x. At least in U.S. :-) We often thought marketing doesn't matter to tech product. But I think marketing matters. But even marketing matters, if the product doesn't match expectation, the product will not go anywhere. The best marketing is done by users. When people see others constantly use Windows XP, they use Windows XP. When people see others use iPod, they use it. When people see others use Google, they use Google. It may be a herd effect. But most users don't care the subtlety. They have too much to worry in their life. Gadget, personal computer, Internet are just part of their life.
