If linux gives better security and stability they are willing to change their OS, subject to all their regular work being executed in linux too with full migration of data. This is something not possible as of now. some examples are:-
- Banking websites insist on using IE.
- BOLT and other share trading softwares are available for M$ only.
- Tally does not have a replacement in linux and its data cannot be
ported to any other equivalent linux based software that works just like it. 4) People are used to Corel Draw, Photoshop,.Net, Autocad etc. 5) Accounting and invoice packages available in the trader market are M$ based. 6) Ticketing softwares for travel agents are windows based. 7) Most file sharing softwares for songs are M$ based and many live song sites run only on IE. 8) Some third party documentation softwares use MS Office as the export destination and anyway they are for the windows platform. 9) Most of the popular games are M$ based.
kudos rony! You hit the nail on the head :) But you need to agree that KDE and GNOME still have a long way before they can become as userfriendly as Windows UI.
