These people keep bringing up "mArKeT sHaRE"

  1. Linux is free. How would it get market share?
  2. It's quite difficult to get an accurate "market share" since user-agents can be faked.

EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.

This is the relevant reason though. Also the other software. I use specialised software in work that runs only for windows and there problem with compatibility even under the same programs under the same system. Entire thing would probably explode if anyone on the line used linux.

Anyway, the problem is not Windows. The problem is again, capitalism.
