One must also take into consideration the fact that most PC users are not very computer literate, and some form so tight a bond with their operating system that they will fight logic to use it. I can't count how many times I have argued the benefits of Macs vs. x86 boxes, proved the other person wrong, then watched as they became red-faced and hissie-fitty. Some people just don't want to or simply can't learn to use a different OS.
Then there's the whole compatability issue. Right now, I am unaware of any linux distro that supports windows apps out of the box. One is forced to install and configure things like wine and vmware on their own - something daunting if not impossible for 'the average user'.
The bright side to 'everyone else' using windows? As unjustified as it is, it makes some of us feel big

Hi All,
The scripts developed in AIX can be executed in Red Hat Linux too? Because, we are migrating OS from AIX to LINUX.
Will there be any differences in commands?
