    "If Linux doubles every year"

    That is your idea, not his that it would double every year.

    One year does not set any type of expectation that the current % of

    increase can or will continue each year.

    And as you suggest, it can't.

    I did not see anything in his post to say it was expected to double

    every year.

    Why do you assume he did?

    In theory your logic will work, but you are talking LINUX and UBUNTU. It

    will NOT double every year for seven years. Linux has been around for 20+

    years and the market only has 0.6%. Again, you are trying to cram Ubuntu

    down the vista users throats. Won't work. Why not go volunteer at a

    homless shelter and help the folks over there? You would do more good

    helping people rather than ANNOYING people here.

     

    Oh yea, must I remind you that Linux and Ubuntu are FREE? Over the last

    couple of years, the people don't flock to a FREE Product means that it

    really sucks! You just can't get that fact through your head. You keep

    insisting on ramming Ubuntu down our throats.

    You are the Lin-tard. Linux WILL NOT double every year for seven years.

    Linux will NEVER in our lifetimes have 100% of the market. Just FYI. You

    are pig headed and love to annoy everyone here.

    Take a look at all the questions in the Linux/Ubuntu group. They have an

    incredible amount of posts for only 0.6% of the market! Go figure.

     

    Look at all the posts with no replies. Lots and Lots of them. Your logic

    is incredibly flawed. Oops.

    I'm assuming that. Vista came out and, all of a sudden, Linux usage

    doubles. It doesn't take an oracle to figure that one out.

    Consumers have a choice.

    However it suits your anti Microsoft agenda to spread FUD in a vain

    attempt to push your pet Linux.

    As even you have pointed, Dell offers the choice of Linux.

    Local shops also offer a choice of operating systems including Linux.

    FACTS you know but choose to ignore when it goes against your agenda.

     

    You should try facts for a change.

    You should also try to leave off your bias and personal attacks.

    Do that and more people would listen to your evangelizing of Linux.

    However in the past you have demonstrated you are incapable of

    sticking with facts and leaving out the attacks.

     

    Consumers have a choice and are not force fed, a FACT you are aware

    but CHOOSE to ignore.

    Yes, Alias, you have no self control. People keep telling you to stop with

    the Linux crap. The forum is for vista issues. You keep trying to cram

    Ubuntu down our collective throats. The people here DO NOT WANT Ubuntu.

    They keep telling you that. You keep up your idiotic postings. You have no

    self control.

     

    I guess you don't understand that. People tell you day after day to stop

    the annyoing posts. I think you are probably a SHUT-IN who can't get out,

    or a loner, whose wife or boyfriend left you and you have nothing else to do

    but troll here in vista land, or maybe you have some other social issue.

     

    Go volunteer at a homeless shelter or offer your Ubuntu skills to others in

    the Ubuntu group.

     

    I have an idea, go to the Ubuntu forum and tell everyone to ditch Ubuntu and

    go to Vista. How about that?

    You can assume whatever you want. It isn't all of a sudden that Linux usage

    doubles. When you have 30 people using Linux and 30 more people get it,

    then the number doubles. You wouldn't even know what to do with Oracle if

    it bit you on the ASS.

    "assuming"

    As you so often do.

    You also get all the pitfalls that so often come with assuming.

    When you cease assuming and instead look at the facts, you may start

    You just can't figure that one out.
