And how many years has Linux been around?

Maybe 10+ years?

The question the Linux loons should be asking themselves is why people
would rather pay for Windows than use free Linux.

It's pretty sad when a product that is given away for free has so few
actual users.

You would think that after 10+ years, the Linux loons would get the
message.

And how many billions of dollars have been spent on marketting it?
Hmmm?
How many of those billions were spent on illegal or otherwise immoral
"marketting"?

For linux, both those are as close to 0 as makes no odds.

Gods, you're stupid.

Market it?
You can't even give it away!

Redhat sure tried to market Linux desktop and they gave up.
Why?
Few people have an interest in it.

Redhat doesn't sell "the linux desktop". Redhat sells support.
They stopped marketing the desktop because there's no way to sell support
if the product doesn't need much and what it does need is available via
the internet.

Followups to dumb.linux.trolls.

You might want to inform Red Hat that they aren't selling a desktop
product. I am sure they will be surprised.
