Yes, it's simple.....just simply wrong.

Admittedly, not a huge, all-enconpassing list, but applications people
use & need none the less.
Setting aside business users, for which the big claim is Office doesn't
work on Linux and OpenOffice isn't good enough. Then again, how many
Office users/companies use MS Office in anymore than basic ways ?
We'll look at home users then.
What percentage of users do nothing but internet surfing and e-mail ? Or,
how many people have more than one computer, with at least one only used
for internet.
There is absolutely no argument that Linux lacks any Internet
applications...browsers, e-mail, ftp, news clients, chat, P2P, it's all
there.
As a matter of fact, of my 4 home PC's here, mine is the only one that is
ever used for anything other than internet, and one is just a file
server. My inlaws are the same way, two computers, and only used for
internet stuff.
