That may well be true. However, because Linux sucks so hard for things like video, sound, printing, syncing your ipod, and all the other things that real users want to do with their desktops, it is not something that I care to support. And support it I must, because I'll have chosen it for them precisely because I can support it but not Windows.

    Linux video: not a problem
    Linux sound: not a problem
    Linux printing: not a problem, though I understand it's printer-dependant (I like Brother)
    Linux iPod: dunno... I bought a reasonably priced mp3/ogg player and it works great.
