The actuality behind this is because everyone is used to windows, it is force fed as a child growing up in school, all the way into the work world. Linux is the way it is because people who use it don't like windows and take the time and effort to learn or build it to how they like. There are people that I have went to school with that have tried linux in one form or another and give up because it doesn't work with one device or another and just go back to linux instead of actually trying to learn how to use it. Then there are others that are just afraid to use it. Those users, in my opinion and probably the opinion of some of the other techs out here in cyberspace, should stay in windows or move to OSX. Linux is growing, but the only way to grow is by support of the linux community as a whole.
