- 3b Linux and not Windows has to prove that it is superior, because Windows is the defacto standard
- 4 Windows has a larger user base which ensures that innovation takes place
- 4a Microsoft standards like the FAT32 filesystem, the docx document format and MS Access databases are industry wide standards used by everybody
