Hello Aditya,

    What u say is absolutely true. But I bet the reason for popularity of
Windows in India atleast is Piracy ! + availability of drivers for almost
all the devices.
And now for the cost factor. If we consider the normal Average
user(beginners) ... Then they are more concern with the cost... And quality
means very less to them.... so then end up in a mess. But for the power
user...(experienced) the quality is important. Thus...  the linux os must
support cards like Yamaha ymf724....  so that people start to use it, before
they loose interest.
Hope u agree with me

regards.
