According to Torvalds the reason Linux hasn't taken off is that most
people are happy with the way things are. "If you act differently from
Windows, even if you act in some ways better, it doesn't matter;
better is worse if it's different." Torvalds also attributes much of
the frustration with Windows Vista to this same idea. In other words,
it's not that Vista is worse than XP, but it's different and that
causes distress among users.
