1) User Interface :- Another important issue is the lack of user friendly interface in the LINUX. It is really very hard for a user of Microsoft Windows to switch to LINUX because of this behaviour. Using Microsoft windows is a fun and really easy, while for LINUX some technical skills are always required to do even the simple tasks. Let us take the example of installing Microsoft Windows. This process is very systematic and automatic. Any person with basic computer skills is capable of doing it. While in case of LINUX this is not an automatic task. In case of problems technical knowledge is a must. So this is another reason why the home users feel it difficult to switch to the LINUX. The shifting of technical person from Windows to LINUX is far more difficult. The concepts, interface, problems their solutions, all are different from the Windows enviroment. So it is also very hard for the technical persons too to jump to the LINUX enviroment.
2)Migration Issue :- Another main factor due to which the Windows based management systems cannot switch to LINUX , easily, is compatibility issue. The cost involved in this switch is very much high, so usually windows based management systems do not shift to LINUX even if they can see more benefits in using the LINUX. Actually all the data formats of both operating systems are quite different. For migrating towards LINUX will require all the data into a new format that should be compatible with the LINUX. And this cannot be achieved easily. Important data may be lost during this migration. If the migration is done with success, then the users will need training to learn the new softwares and enviroment. And also the technical staff will require a tough training to learn new system and how to solve the technical issues that may arise.
