Custome says i want abc after seeing the lates fad ad. Vendor runs to lamigton rd. buys the cheapest hardware junk n pirate cd and delivers to customer. That is a courier service not a computer vendor. No value addition no biz plan no investments. And the great miracle linux will deliver him new hope?
Everyone is not like that.
Windows is not just install and use. It has to be customized and set up for the client according to his work environment. The same is true for GNU/Linux too. A good vendor understands the customer and sets up his system with loving care as if he were setting up a system for his own home. A good vendor has to educate the customer about software licenses. The hardware is not some low cost el cheapo stuff but one that is not only economical with good quality but also has better warranty backup.
