Why is windows on most computers?
Windows is on most computers because of good marketing. The also have very little competition. Their only rivals are Apple (Mac) and Linux. Apple is comparatively expensive and has less customization options for the power user yet most agree it is better designed. Windows also runs on a far greater variety of computers while Apple is designed to work with very specific ones. Because Windows already has such a large following, most consumers just continue to buy Windows products. Those who care enough to dislike Windows, are usually power users who dont find enough freedom in Apple's products. They will often go to Linux but they will still buy windows as it is needed to play almost every game.
Linux offers the greatest customization options, is the least demanding, and its also free. People often don't use Linux because it can be hard to set up (even though most versions like, Ubuntu, install the same as any other program.) but Linux is far more present than most people know. Since it is free and can be adapted to suit the developers needs, most cell phones run a form of linux. Also, the servers that host the websites often run Linux.
