With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

Here in the UK we have a soap opera. It is called Emmerdale. It involves a local village in the Yorkshire Dales. It used to be called Emmerdale Farm and was more centered on the farming community, but now the whole village of about 50 people make up the programme. Now the strange thing is that any PCs in the village all run Linux. Any computer display you see usually has either the gnome desktop or the gnome file manager ( I forget what that is called coz I run kde)....
Anyway, I think that the producers of Emmerdale are not trying to promote the use of Linux in everday business/home/webcafe life, rather they do not want to have to pay royalties for showing Windows screens.
