no, there are a lot of things that require closed source solutions. Lots of people need to use 3d drivers, windows media, fonts. Many linux users are actually using lots of Microsoft apps such as IE and Office with crossover office. Why? because firefox and openoffice can't offer the compatibility that they need. ok? you can't live in the real world without office.
Why would they use linux just to run microsoft apps all the time? because they actually like the OS but don't care about the politics.
