I don't want to pretend that I'm not susceptible to marketing, as I  
am as much as the next person. But in this case I don't believe it's  
something that is MS's doing. I have made a few serious attempts to  
use Linux and found it a great sink-hole of time. It was either  
because some devices weren't working properly or not supported  
altogether or the software I needed wasn't available in easy to  
install modules, if it was available in the first place. I have used  
Linux for work and it's great if you have a full-time sys-admin that  
makes sure everything works. Then again, that's true for Windows too.
