[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share

[Stephanvaningen]

1/2: "Drivers": I can agree on that: that is not easy and has different
roots, its mainly that suppliers must be convinced to cooperate: some
already do provide linux drivers, which is good!

2/2: "software windows<->linux."  98%? Have you kept score?
  I was amazed to see the amount of programs  running (also) on Linux, if
you search for it ... and with Synaptic in Debian (& Ubuntu), the searching
has become less necessary & much easier than windows for installation and
(automatic) upgrades!
