There are several factors at play here. Firstly, there is the dominance of the Microsoft operating system and peoples' inherent desire stay with the an operating system that they are familiar with. Secondly, there is a bit of a learning curve. The operating systems are not identical and therefore there are some things that must be relearned. Thirdly, in the corporate world, the short term cost of retraining employees/rehiring IT may seem to exceed the money that would be saved using 'free' operating systems. Another factor is the 'mis'conception that Linux is a command line based operating system. This makes adopting Linux seem daunting.
