Then that is an extremely unusual situation.
It is extremely usual for places that have a bazillion users and few
admins.
but the fact that single-user PC's are the rule and not the
exception.
Depends on _where_. I can give you several places where it isn't the
rule.
The point is that if people didn't buy it, they wouldn't make it.
I don't buy that, look at the free software movement.
Sure, freedom for users to do what?
To do the four freedoms: use, share, modify, examine.
FireFox is exceptional in that way, but it still proves the point:
you run FireFox on a PC.
I do? Last time I ran it was on a 25 CPU Sun box hosting 1000 users.
And the time I ran it on a GNU/Linux machine hosting aprox 300 users
(with aprox 70 users on it at a time).
This is why your questions are flawed, the pool of users is infinitly
(close to it atleast) large, and for each example you give, I can give
counter example.
