StingingVelvet: How evil or not evil Microsoft is has little relevance to the point that Linux is on an irrelevant amount of desktops and gaming PCs. Maybe if MS tries to kill 32 bit or whatever that will change, but the situation today is what it is.
I personally know more and more people so pissed off with Win10 they ask me for alternatives. Normal users, not geeks. People who simply want to get their stuff done - email, office, photos. My mom was happy with XP and 7, now she's happy with Ubuntu, because it looks more like what she knows than any current Windows. And she tells other people about it. I've already had requests, which I'm reluctant to answer since I've no deep experience with Linux myself.
People are pissed of by Microsoft, and change can happen pretty quickly.
