My parents (age 60 and above) never heard of Linux, but they are using it without any problem. What problem they are facing is typing and handling mouse. So, the real challenge is to provide easy input methods/devices. I am currently trying Dasher for them. Also, if you are familiar with Windows you can use Linux, but if you are addicted to Windows then you cannot. > I only reiterated the market reality. Microsoft has the desktop market > already.

It is just a matter of time. Time changes everything.
