Silvio:
Good abstract, I agree with you, unfortunately!. The same reasons are all valid
in Spain.

Thanks for pointing it out ;-)
At home, I use Ubuntu Karmic and I am really really happy about it :-)
gvSIG make wonders on it.
Unfortunately, in Italy, sometimes it is not always convenient to delete
Windows.
In short:
1.Nearly all computers have already installed Windows 7 or Vista and it is
really difficult to get your money back from the supplier if you want to
delete it.
You could even lose the warrant on your computer (if something breaks down you
are....).
2. Secondly, why you should delete something you have just bought?
For Windows Vista the OEM licence for every computer was around 50-70 euros or
so which is not much but it is though something.
3. Many Italian public softwares run only on Windows, e.g. those for paying
your taxes through Internet.
3. Wine it is not a solution for many softwares (e.g. Autocad and many others,
e.g. games).
If you have bought them I am pretty sure you desire to continue using them :-)
4. In order to run Linux on a new computer with nothing installed you need to
know it very well.
It is true you can buy a Dell, for example, which is quite compatible with
Linux (e.g. Ubuntu).
Nonetheless, why you should be forced to choose Dell instead of Toshiba or
something like that?
I do hope Linux one day will be the only system on all computers.
In my opinion, Linux is much better than Windows in many respects.
At present, unfortunately, in my opinion, it is not possible to do so for many
users.
On top of that, I do think Windows 7 is much better than Vista and Windows Xp.
Quite simply because, Microsoft can't afford to fail another time :-)
Best regards
Silvio
