From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Also, if everyone is used to the Windows environment, there is little reason for most businesses to get something but Windows and that's where Microsoft makes the money. Almost everyone who has done anything with computers has used Windows and doesn't need to be specifically taught.
Pretty sure that was recently patched, as in last week, though it was open for years. Im sure something will take its place
