Oh, but there are lots of businesses running their software in linux. About needing to do "actual business", unless you are an IT company (and even then) your "actual business" is not done over a computer. If you need to communicate, that'll be through the internet and that usually means you can use any OS.
There is design and payroll soft out there for linux, as well as games.
Maybe you are stuck in the 90's?

Of course there are specific niches that demand you to use wdws, but diminishing every year. For everyday use I find there's nothing I can't do in linux, that includes programming.

But it is not a competition, if you are perfectly happy with wdws please by all means stay there. Those of us who have migrated will really enjoy hearing about your chores every time a new version comes out, it makes us feel fortunate and relieved.

Look Ted, those of us who've used Linux in anger know how good it is.
Those who haven't... well, they can keep buying Wds versions (every time
the company feels they need some extra money) and feeling all warm and
fuzzy and knowledgeable every time the find a work around some shitty
bug or some hidden stuff and are able to keep having things they already
had in the previous version, or paying out even more money for other
company's solutions to the mess.
Or they need to run the software that businesses need to do actual
business, design things, interoperate, pay people, or maybe play some
games when they go home.
