I am going to bet very soundly one one of two things. Either you have never used linux, or you have only tried it back in the early 2000s when it was still a baby. Linux is strait off easier to use, more compatible, less costly (not buying the OS cost, the cost to keep it running. So cost of antivirus, tech support cost, not to mention the cost of all the apps you use, like Office and the like), and easier to use.
99% of people read comments like yours, saying that linux can not do what windows can do, which is false, and that it is not as easily compatible (also false), and that it is difficult to use, and they don't try it. If people had a brain and were not sheep being herded by Bill gates and his unpaid goons, then linux would be much bigger than it is.
And back to the DX issue, why were you saying its a scam? You pay for the use of the OS. That means they can hand it to you any way they want to. If you don't like it, then they do not have to change it. If you ran a open source system (linux and Unix), then if you did not like it, you could fix it yourself, or hire a programmer to fix it for you. No need to wait on windows to get off their arse and do something useful (which is generally a 2+ year wait).
