A personal experience I decided to delete the installation of windows in my house. leaving as primary OS and Linux only with the distro ubuntu 7.04. The only trace of windows is a hard disk where I store the data that is formatted as NTFS. Users of my house are my wife, systems engineer, and my oldest son (he has three years and in December is 4). He who is mostly occupied by the computer, is using it regardless of whether it is windows or linux. Did not have to create drivers. In the what matters to enter the site of discovery or of Nickjr kids to play games, watch movies toy story, and now play Planet racer (former tuxracer) run the suite gcompris (educational). It has been difficult? Previously, only use Internet Explorer (some links you created on your desktop), to click on the movies. The transition process has been painful doubt, and you turn it on and off it. The only problem that I have not solved is the key to render the user (the user has).
I think the last word on the subject lies with the facts. Linux is difficult to assert that I believe a statement very absence of specific events, perhaps a few years ago, not now. Definitely what most weight may be the fear of change, bad habits taken while a user of windows. In the end you have to try and use linux for a while, not with the intention of making an article but to be given the opportunity to meet.
