OSNews, Generic OSes A common heard question in the operating systems world is, 'if the alternatives to Windows are so much better, why aren't people en masse switching to them?' People come up with all sorts of answers to this question, but in fact, the social psychology world already has a fairly simple answer to this question. This answer also happens to actually explain why Zeta sold so well through the usually superficial television retail channel.

One of my character traits is that I like to a) simplify things, and b) use hyperboles. Combine these two traits, and you understand where I'm coming from ;) .

There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.

You can combine the two of his character traits into one and it makes sense.
Let's discuss Thom, it's an amusing thing to do.
