Its important that we know that Bill Gates is not responsible for this great PC revolution. It is generally thought that Windows 3.1 was the first graphical OS that made the PC useable by everyday people. The first computer to do that was actually the Mac, and windows 3.1, made later, very similar to the interface of the Mac.
Now some people are probably thinking: Well, windows back then windows was better and beat the mac because of it.
Wrong, windows beat out the mac because of buisness deals with PC makers, business deals that prevented them from selling computers with other OSes. These deals were in place long before windows, when Microsoft was selling DOS.
Linux is easy to both install and use. Applications for it are also both easy to DL, install, and use (ok, not all, but most are). As easy as windows. DL the app. Double click it, enter the computers password, and your good to go.
Applications and esp. games are still in lacking for Linux. Its only a matter of time.
