Long-time Slashdot reader shanen shared the article, along with some new thoughts on why people really stay with Windows:
Are they, really? I posted some stats a few months back that seemed to show that much of the growth in PCs was coming from Chromebooks, not Windows machines. And while Microsoft continues to rake in fat profits, that is more and more coming from the business side, not the consumer side. All this hints of an undercurrent of people quietly switching away from Windows, without making any great fuss about it. And this is all happening by word-of-mouth, without the benefit of headline-grabbing multi-million-dollar PR budgets. And without showing up in major online website visitor surveys. Why do you think Microsoft is trying to make Windows more Linux-like, if its market dominance was so secure?
