Correct.

> Linux is not ready to replace windows.

This is impossible to determine given that people use Linux and Windows for 
many similar things and many different things:
i)  if Windows is only used for email or web browsing then Linux could 
replace it.
ii) if Windows is used for running a Lexmark Z12 printer, then Linux is NOT 
ready to replace it.

Pick your software tools first, then decide what OS platform it needs to run 
on.

> AND Linux does not want to replace windows.

This is (sorta) true although I suspect Linux doesn't care about much, it's 
the community that cares/cares not.

Linux is a tool, not a way of life. It may reflect a way of life or be a 
result of a bunch of people living a certain way of life, but in the end it 
is just a tool.
