There are many people in the world who do not even know what Linux and UNIX are. This is a sad fact considering that without either one of them the world would be a much different place. Linux/Unix are operating systems that run many of today's "behind the scenes" business operations. Bank's use them to run ATM's, and modern films use it for helping do special effects. Even the Internet would be affected by not having it as most server's are run in a Linux/Unix environment.
It would not just be business that is affected either. Quite a few sections of the government are run off of Linux/UNIX platforms. While many people would cheer for constantly crashing IRS databases because they are being run on Windows, we would also be extremely vulnerable to attacks from other countries because the Department of Defense is also running Linux/UNIX. Windows may be a more user friendly system, it can not compete with the stability that Linux/Unix offers. I for one can not wait to become more adept at using it so I can get rid of Windows forever and have a more stable system at home.
