hmm most ordinary people don't care, if there computer arrived with OS2 on
it they would not care so long as it does what they need it to.

Old story of if its not broken then don't fix it. Why are there so many
people who still use IE when firefox is available and so much better?

If we want people to use linux then we have to show.

1. Its better than windows ie more stable less likely to crash
2. everything they want will run.
3. Some extra value added they can't do with otherwise *that they actually
want to do*

The mac manages this and hence has a growing market share. Linux can do this
but its hard work to demonstrate.
