That's because most people haven't heard of it. A client came into my
office the other day and when I showed her Ubuntu, she asked, "Is that
the new Vista?" Ubuntu doesn't have the marketing money that MS has so
it will take awhile but once the word gets round, Ubuntu will kick MS'
ass and take names. It is interesting that Ubuntu is spreading quicker
in Europe than in the USA but here most people do NOT buy an OEM
computer but have one of the three major chains build one to suit. Maybe
with the new tech-friendly presidency, the Americans will become more
educated regarding what's available in computers.

Most users don't know about it. Hence, my noble mission.

A lie. Millions not only want it but are very happy with it.

Using a lie for a premise results in a lie for a conclusion.

Nope, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you're lying
and don't know what the **** you're talking about.
