"We have a 3% marked share by end users in Windows phone as a failure. But a 2% market share on the desktop for Linux is a success.....?"

Isn't the 3% "marked"[sic] share on phones something to do with Linux eating the phone market with Android.

I've just spent what seemed the best part of a life-time setting up a Windows laptop for my granddaughter. What a pain. Broken update mechanism, even discounting the effort needed to keep W10 malware off of it. Seeming inability to archive the current install status short of imaging the entire shooting match. Inability to customise logon screen (would like to hide admin ID behind "Change user" button). By contrast an alert for 44 updates for KDE arrived this morning and they were installed in about a minute. Just why do Windows users put up with this mess on the desktop?
