Yeah, I've heard of Linux, but does it come in a box, just install, and use?
Surely some other company must be able to produce something like windows!!!!

Linux is easy to install and use, what puts most people off is that they can't run the Windows programs they already have.
Before someone corrects me on this, it is possible to run some Windows software under linux using a windows emulator but this is not 'out of the box' and does required some technical knowledge to set up.
[I'm a linux only user although I may have to change this if/when I get into astrophotography as all the useful software is windows only
