Aren Windows 98 and Windows NT the standard for everyone?
Microsoft products are very popular in business today, just as IBM’s mainframe products were a near-monopoly for business computing in the 1960s and 1970s. Learning Linux today is an opportunity to participate in the new market wave, just as learning about the new “micros” in the 1970s helped you succeed in the PC hardware and software boom. However, just as mainframe manufacturers introduced fancier terminals to compete with PCs, and some software vendors stuck with MS-DOS and did not release Microsoft Windows versions, many vendors are still focusing on the Windows platform today. And just as terminals and MS-DOS systems are still used today, Microsoft Windows systems will probably still be used for some time in the future.
