Microsoft Loses to Linux in Thailand Struggle (LinuxInsider)
I think you're missing the point of my post.
I absolutely agree with you on everything, from price to etc etc. I personally agree with you on games, but what I have personally observed is that with the majority (today) of the youth in Thailand computers equate to gaming.
I also agree with you that in twenty years Linux will win the war - I happen think ten, but not five. And the reasons for not five are as I posted.
My point is that the original article, while accurate in fact, would lead one to be somewhat too optimistic. I certainly wasn't attempting to fud or in any other way denegrate Linux (ask my friends) - I was simply trying to clarify the situation as I saw it and to show what I thought were the obstacles to overcome. (I also think that China is adapting Linux (or an Asian spawned OS) very quickly, and that this will probably have a huge impact on moving the rest of Thailand to Linux.)
