I already heard about a school telling parents that they need to buy a Windows-PC because of several Windows-material, they use. Never, ever would I buy a Windows-PC for my kids. Apart from that that they will never see anything else but Ubuntu until they get into school. Unfortunately they same ignorance I see in professional IT companies and software development companies. I have talked to a customer a few weeks ago who doesn't have a Windows AD-Domain and doesn't want to have Windows servers at all, but he told me that he has to use them because certain software is running only on Windows servers but they need that software... So certainly there would be demand but it does not really work with the supply. That's because people accept the Windows where the alternatives lack of functionality and where the vendors stick with their ignorance. Vendors can only ignore Linux where the alternatives lack and where the the critical mass hasn't yet switched to Linux/Ubuntu. Only then they would loose a big amount business without providing platform independent (or pure Linux) solutions.
