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

[tamimi]

This bug is easily reproducible throughout the Arab world. Here in
Dubai, UAE, this bug can be found on every computer. Even in Gitex 2008
, the major IT industry expo in the region, Linux had a poor table
between tens of thousands of tables that promoted Micro$oft.

Most Arabs, including the educated, have no knowledge that this is
actually a bug. Micro$oft is thought to be the nature of IT, as god
given as the sun or the earth. Most Arabs are not aware that there is an
alternative to MS Windows.

Nor is the general public aware of the problems attached to copy rights
in general and copy righted software in particular.

Linux awareness is almost nil in the general public.  Linux in general
is being shunned by academia as well industry as inappropriate!

Arab governments, in general, have allied themselves, formally or
informally with Micro$oft. Intellectual Property Rights is a theme being
marketed to the general public as a good thing for a happy future!

Awareness campaigns to promote Linux are rare events, extremely limited
in reach, and met by all sorts of formal bureaucratic obstacles, by
governments, academia, as well as industry.
