I got to try Linux once. It had been put together by Boeing and forced down the throat of an organization I worked for.

If you were not a high level, knowledgeable, computer programmer, it was useless.  

It was not user-friendly.    Fortunately, this guy named Bill Gates came out with a user-friendly operating system about the same time and the Linux thing was killed for the organization.  

That one worked fine for computer illiterates such as  myself, Word processing, Spreadsheets, something called 'Dynamic Data Exchange".  

It worked and was almost intuitive.  You didn't need ten years of "if-then" training to make it go.  And I had actually learned some stuff called Fortran IV at Duck U and Linux was still too much trouble compared to the thing Gates stole for very few bucks!
