It has. Look at recent distibutions of Redhat or Mandrake.

Although I personally like Windows (and Mac OSX), I do think there are four reasons people use Windows
  • Because it was pre-installed on the machine. AFAIK Microsoft require any PC manufacturers that licence Windows to install it on all new machines as the Primary OS. This, in my view, is extremely anti-competitive.
  • It has loads of software available.
  • Inertia. People know it, and stick with what they know, even if it is worse (not that I am saying Windows is worse).
  • They know that any thing they do on their PC will be readable on other PCs.
