I know there are a lot of people out there that aren't very computer savvy. And there are quite a few who are just fed up with MS overpriced trash. So, if a few people like Linux because it does the same job (and then some) as MS-W, what's wrong with that?
I myself hate MS on so many levels it's hard to count. And I'm just glad to see another Linux user/convert, no matter what the excuse/reason. Unfortunately, Linux still scares away those who don't know what to do if the file doesn't end in '.exe'. A whole lot of effort is currently being put into many Linux distributions to make it more familiar to Windows users. There's nothing wrong in that. It reduces the learning curve of switching over, especially for people who just don't or can't be bothered with tinkering with the innards of a system to get something to work. I myself am just so tired of things not working out of the box. Now-a-days, I too want Linux to just work, not BE work. I'm just saying that all reasons for switching to Linux are valid. We don't need to insult anyone for it.
