I always wonder where the line is for the majority of people, maybe there isn't one and they know it. You've got to hand it to Microsoft nearly 30 years and they still have the majority.

If you buy a PC it has Windows on it. The majority of people are not cocking about formatting a USB stick and fiddling with the BIOS to put Linux on it. They aren't thinking about operating systems at all, and if you need specific software for work, chances are it isn't going to run on anything other than Windows. If you don't need it for work, you've probably just got a tablet by now and store all your photos on Facebook.

And increasingly the majority of people don't even bother to keep a PC anymore and just use their phone

It's more likely those who are like that are going for ChromeOS.
