Nearly a year ago, I decided to stop being a user of Microsoft Windows, to install a new operating system on my computer, GNU / Linux, Mandriva, this was the first free operating system that you use after more than 12 years using Windows. That’s what led me to Linux?; Easy because a good friend called me and showed me that operating system, why use Linux now and not the classic Wndows?, For that after watching the operation and investigate the pros and cons this system, I simply said if they can why can not I? Windows gives you everything from the user perspective, Windows gives you what you need, what Linux can offer that do not already have Windows? It is true that you can offer more security, less errors, better performance. . . But all that matters to people? It’s great to have a system that works best, but the needs of the people do not go down that road. I use Linux and do not need Windows, my friends use Windows!!, I run all programs games, cameras etc Rotogravures.
. What we need to change? It is difficult to get someone to make a change in the operating system when you do not feel the need. How do you convince a user to leave Windows? If you lose compatibility with 90% of the people, when you see the improvement is not substantial enough to consider such drastic change. As an example we can mention the following case, Firefox and Internet Explorer: Firefox is faster, you can surf the same pages with Internet Explorer, you can customize by adding sub-applications, in short, is a browser you will not notice the difference use because you can do exactly the same thing with Explorer and Firefox but is increasing its market share, Internet Explorer still dominates widely, but by its functionality and efficiency. I think that if people find it hard to change the browser, do not think they can change the operating system. If Windows is functionally free Windows and Linux can offer you more or less the same price
