Sometimes people won't switch just because they don't like change, and Windows is all they have ever known. I also love when people trot out the standing argument that Windows sucks because of all of the malware and virus infections. Well guess what? If some other OS dominates the landscape like MS, it won't take long for the hackers to swing their big guns in it's direction. MS is not the problem, just the symptom. Having said that, I have not, nor will I ever, pay for a MS OS... I like the concept, but we have a long way to go when convincing novice users to give up their Windows.
