Reason why people pick Windows over linux is because it's foolproof


Foolproof? Seriously? No doubt it has improved but it's hardly foolproof.

When a average joe can install a linux and not have to hit forums/paid support channels for help within first 6 months, you'll see Linux's marketshare skyrocket.


Average Joe can't install Windows by himself either so it appears this is more down to Linux coming pre-installed with "support" than being able to install it.

When linux developers understand that shunning a proper closed source alternative for alpha-stage feeble opensource construct, is shooting yourself in foot


It's called not compromising your ideals. Not everyone is chasing that elusive market increase.
