Belated answer to that: Linux isn't all that new after all, and I
remember very well how it totally blew the pants off Windows 3.x when I
first installed it in early 1995 on my lowly 386. You really did need
8MB of RAM though, while Windows was happy enough with 4.

I'm not so sure if Windows would be where it is now without the pull of
Linux.
