Most people don't install their own OSs. They get them from major OEMs,

When the majority of people haven't even tried Ubuntu, how could they

come to an informed conclusion about it?

Now if you said, "the majority of the voices in my head have come to the

same conclusion," then I would have found that to be more believable.

And of course your couple of days of experience with Ubuntu makes you an

expert.

Ubuntu has equivalents for most of that. Only Word and sometimes Excel

is used by most people and Open Office handles that fine for most users.

Can you name something that your average home or home office user would

I haven't found the corporate tax alternative yet, but that doesn't mean

there ain't one.

Home users could just use TurboTax online with Ubuntu though.

I am not going to spend the time and look for products that are equivalent

between platforms. Doesn't interest me. That is the problem with Ubuntu.

People don't want to have to search for what might work and install it.

They don't want to do it. Most users just want their computer to run.

Ubuntu is a pain in the ass for the majority of the people who try it.

Look at what you said, you have people asking YOU to install it for them.

You even stated that Ubuntu is easy to install. So then genius, why can't

they do it?
