The "problem" is people bemoaning Linux's 1% (?) share of the
desktop (IIRC, Apple is now at about 7-8% and the rest? goes
to the Evil Empire?) and then ignoring the reasons why those
other 99% (?) of users aren't adopting their beloved platform.

Bowie and Jim (and ?) have obviously made their own decisions
to move *away* from Linux in this aspect.  You and I have opted
to head backwards in time (in terms of hardware) and/or
application support to "accommodate" FOSS OS's.  But those
"others" aren't even *interested* in Linux!

Think about it.  It's ''Free'' yet The Market is saying "No thanks".
It "works" yet The Market is saying "No thanks".  No matter how
hard you try, you just can't realistically rationalize away The
Market's disinterest!
