The problem lies in Linux' marketing. As power users, we can carry this effort and make linux #1. Simply go speak at schools, colleges, and libraries on the benefits of open source technologies (emphasize the free aspect as well as the lack of viruses.)
I already do this at my local universities and have converted hundreds of MS users to linux. I even have turned some of the professors at these colleges into linux evangelicals. I find that kids in college are never taught that there are alternatives to Apple and Windows. When I tell them that I went through college and run my business with FREE and VIRUS FREE software their jaws fall on the floor. By the end of the class they are downloading and installing ubuntu on their laptops while I am speaking. I even had one gentleman who converted his entire music studio to linux as the overhead of keeping Apples was killing him. He just didn't know any other way. Bottom line, it will take effort from everyone of us to fix this bug. Get out in your community and tell them about the benefits of open source. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
