You didn't heard about Linux? :shock: RedHat linux was the first OS on my old desktop, and when it came I was just 9, and still I knew it before it came to me. And also its going off-topic...

Because they have no other choice, most likely. If they (we) could choose, they wouldn't use Windows.

You always come with illogical statements, dude. I also never heard of Linux until I was 19. That doesn't mean anything since now I use Linux more often than Windows. I only use Windows for gaming actually, and for very few Windows software that has not a decent equivalent on Linux). Why? Because Windows is slow, more prone to errors (some absolutely absurd), has a lot of viruses/malware/whatever, consumes way too much memory, it's too expensive, has backdoors for government spying on you... it just sucks. Even visually Linux is nicer than Windows. Plain and simple. That's why computers that need to work properly (like servers, supercomputers, etc...) never use Windows.
