linux未能取得成功的原因是人们的畏

这里的担心，我指的是对失败的畏惧感。我曾经遇到过像“我正准备从windows转移到 ubuntu系统上”这样的问题，但总是因为畏惧，最终没有付诸实践。人们总是在想，“如果出错了怎么办？”。我猜测，这种情况同样适用于IT部门中。我能想象，如果一个IT部门的某位员工希望转移100个人到linux环境下，肯定会存在很重的疑虑：oh，会不会出什么大问题？当然，这种担心也许是完全不必要的。但让我们来看看，想象一个IT职场中可能会发生的几种情形：

  1 她将上百个员工转移到了linux环境下，出了一些问题，也许是一堆问题。她会受到所有人的指责，并且……恩，被解雇。
  2 她将上百个员工转移到了linux环境下，所有的一切都比较正常。但是……某个程序，其运行的方式看起来和windows下还不大一样（例如 openoffice），于是，她将面对一张张愤怒的脸，人们将指责她，质疑她为什么要让大伙转移环境，随之而来的还有一系列其他举动……
  3 她坚持停留在windows环境下，不幸的是……windows出错了（对不起，是又出错了）！所有人都开始指责微软公司，并对她报以同情。
  4 这次，转移的目标变成了windows vista，并且转移很顺利（顺利？这个场景似乎是不可能发生的？）。每个人都祝贺她干得非常出色。
  5 这次的场景还是转移到vista中，不过，出了些问题。于是，每个人都在指责Bill Gates……是的，指责对象是比尔，不是她。

  明白了么？这就是为什么她选择继续坚守windows的原因。但是，转移到vista和linux的机会是均等的（这里的翻译很不确定是否正确）。从我个人来说，我是不希望使用vista的。我更愿意寻找一个替代品……ubuntu?

Fear of failure I mean. I have the problem that I am trying to move from windows to Linux (Ubuntu), but I am simply too scared to do it. It's always the "what if this goes wrong?". And I guess the same can be used for the IT departments. I can imagine the person in the IT department considering moving 100 people to Linux. The fear of something going terribly wrong is there. And it's probably an unreasonable fear. But let's look at a few scenarios for this imaginary IT professional:

  * She moves hundred people to Linux and something (anything) goes wrong: she gets everybody angry at her and she gets fired for not doing her job.
  * She moves everybody to Linux and everything goes fine, but there is one program that doesn't work as in windows (Open Office for instance): she gets angry faces, people challenging her and asking why the change, etc, etc.
  * She stays with windows and windows goes wrong (stays wrong, sorry): everybody blames Microsoft, and feels sorry for her.
  * She moves to windows vista and everything goes smoothly (impossible scenario, I agree): everybody congratulates her for a job well done.
  * She moves to windows vista and something goes wrong: everybody blames Bill Gates.

You see ? It is in her best interest to stay with windows. But there is a fair chance of change with vista. I for one do not want to change to vista, I'd rather look for alternatives ..... Ubuntu ?
