dybdahl,

re: My mother (house wife), my wife (teacher), my nephiew (cab driver) and my uncle (currency investor) have switched from Windows to Linux and are happy with the change. My father (self-employed consultant) wants to switch from Windows 2000 to Linux after seeing how it went with my mother...



If you only had a few million more relatives you might get somewhere with this point.

Curious, what application(s) are those folks running - a web browser w/email by chance?

re: Linux gets its place on desktops where central IT administration finds out how to save millions of dollars on a solution without compromising functionality etc

You keep talking but I haven't heard the applications they are replacing - suppose you could tackle Outlook and Calendaring for us?

re: where they find out how to do a solution better by choosing KDE or Gnome.

You're really showing your lack of understanding with this pointless point. How exactly does the GUI do the job, any job? Are you suggesting people get paid to "drag and drop" all day long and KDE and Gnome are a superior drag and drop system?
