I'm not interested in reading another market share link. I'm quite sure that most computer devices used via a GUI are smartphones and I doubt that Windows is the most used OS on smartphones. However, given that most desktop computers likely are equipped with Windows only, the market share still isn't bound to user-friendliness.
Windows is easier available, since it's installed by default on almost all discounter desktop computers (and laptops...). "Available by default" isn't the same as easier to use. Windows has got better proprietary support for additional hardware, as well as some professional software, but this is true for Apple operating systems, too. _But_ Windows is the operating system that fails the most and comes with the most worse support related to the countless issue and has got the most security gaps. Without a computer geek in the neighborhood Jane Doe is way more lost, than when using a user-friendly Linux distro + willing to go through a small learning curve. Yes, a *BSD and user-centric Linux distro is not made for Jane and even user-friendly Linux distros aren't idiot proof. Not completely, but close to idiot proof is Apple, but you need to pay for this by much money and accepting radical restrictions. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
