In this case you're partially correct, but what true crackers (criminal hackers, as opposed to people with above average skill with computers who have no criminal intent) are after are large enterprise servers and mainframes, most of which use linux, and generally aren't very successful, so maybe the reason is because Linux is inherently more secure than windows It would be a little different if macs weren't designed to stop working when OS-X is removed, and all other major computer manufacturers didn't require windows to be preinstalled on almost every computer they sell.
and if this wasn't this wasn't part of the windows EULA until windows 7 was released:
After losing several lawsuits where people tried to get a refund for windows and were refused, they changed the eula to this:By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit.Which makes it nearly impossible to get a refund for windows on a new computer if you don't want to use it
By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine its return policy. You must comply with that policy, which might limit your rights or require you to return the entire system on which the software is installed.
That's only a small part of the reason linux isn't more widely used. If you would like I can come up with several other documented facts that prove windows is only as popular as it is because Microsoft stifles any competition.
Again you're wrong. It's generally believed that 60-75% of the worlds' population is multilingual. I speak four languages, which makes it easier to communicate with some of my neighbors and probably contributes to my ability with computers
I don't just reckon it's ignorance to only learn one language or one operating system, I'm stating a fact.. from the webster's dictionary:
Ignorance:
1. The condition of being ignorant; the lack of knowledge in general, or in relation to a particular subject; the state of being uneducated or uninformed.
2: A willful neglect or refusal to acquire knowledge which one may acquire.
Maybe that's what you do, but I have several computers, and I make a living fixing them for others. I like having a choice of operating systems on all of my computers. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but my opinions are all based in fact. Any other points you would like to argue? I enjoy a good debate...
