    For people to do that they need a seamless way to transfer from Windows to Linux. Come all the files and programs and such, that doesn’t happen. It won’t happen

      Yep.

      My killer app (or Achilles Heel) is OneNote. I need a real competitor on Linux before I can switch.

      While I don’t think this in particular would cause people or businesses to switch away from Windows, more and more applications work from browsers so they depend less and less on apps you can install. ( Where I work we already put many people on M365 basic because they do just fine with accessing their mail and spreadsheets from the browser. No point in paying extra for options they’ll never need)
