    people would rather deal with all that, then switch to Linux

    Most people would rather deal with nothing. Most have a passing familiarity with Windows because they had to use it for work or school. But it’s not like they went out and specifically ‘learned Windows’. Most people just don’t give a shit about how a computer works and want it to just do the stuff they want it to do with as little knowledge required as possible. If they have to let the corpos spy on them, oh well.

    For the other 4% of people, there’s Linux!

      You’re suggesting that 96% of the PCs on earth are all work related PCs? NOBODY has a personal PC at home that they could install WHATEVER OS they wanted on? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly before I laugh wildly at your suggestion.

        Not who you were talking to but most people who have a PC at home aren’t installing an OS on it. They’re using windows cause that’s what came out of the box. Most of us windows users wouldn’t go out of our way to install windows if Linux came preprogrammed. It’s more convenient to not install any damn thing.
