How about Unix/Linux as another choice of an OS for people? I'll admit I don't know so much about that platform, but from what I can see, Unix is a pretty popular OS, and in most cases, it's FREE to obtain. It's also curious that I have only seen Netscape Navigator in use on X-Windows as a browser. I don't think Microsoft makes an Internet Explorer for Unix. There are other choices for consumers but because Unix is somewhat of a "foreign language" to people raised on Windows and DOS, people do not want to consider that as another option. About the thing I can think of is some development would need to be done on a powerful "Office" type suite for Unix, but I don't see that as undoable.
