Companies which use computers as an intrinsic part of their work may
have. However, Europeans who can not program find Microsoft Windows
difficult enough to use despite how easy it really is (clicking on
start then Help or the Control Panel is a problem solving approach
beyond their imaginations) so applying their stupidity with Linux
would be very unproductive. (I admit though that for normal public
German offices a choice to use Linux instead of Windows has been made.)
